yeah...have that too. have cpu at 3.2GHz now and ram at 758 (i think that's what it was) and running prime95 now....seems to have topped out at 54 degrees with a few 55 degree spikes....been running it maybe 20 min now. running large fft's now,,,going to try small fft's next, then maybe blend too....are you supposed to run tests with all three types of tests, and for how long...been reading online and opinions from 20 min to 24hrs out there.
edit: and the mb has a robust graphics booster that has choices of auto, fast, or turbo. i tried all three and cpuz didn't show any changes to the graphics core clock, shaders clock, or memory clock, so i guess this setting doesn't do anything with my 9500GT? or did it not change anything because i have the pci interface locked at 100 (don't know if this has anything to do with oc'ing the gpu). what is a good utility for oc'ing the graphics card (just tried rivatuner and it wouldn't detect my driver so uninstalled it), and do i just use the prime95 tool to test the gpu stability too?
edit: (again)..downloaded nividia's system tools and bumped gpu up from
core clock, from 550 to 600MHz
shaders clock, from 1400 to 1425 (although nvidia system tools originally read it at 1375 while cpuz showed it at 1400 like it was supposed to be)
memory clock, from 500MHz to 510MHz
Are these oc's ok for a small oc? any other setting suggestions for these gpu clocks?
idle gpu temp is 39,,,played game for few minutes,,was 41...safe temp gpu can get up to? what can i use to test my gpu overclocks? (tried gpu tool as ati tool doesn't apparently run on vista/windows 7?, but gpu tool wouldn't run either).
