So I took apart the old work horse today and gave it a thorough cleaning. Almost 2 years old dust build up lead to a stack of qtips large enough to build a small log cabin. After putting it all back together I decided to push it a bit further.
I was able to achieve an overclock of 4.2 GHz using the hyper 212. Normally im clocked at 3.9. However my temps, even at idle have jumped 10c. Normally I would be running steady at 33c, now its been hanging around 43c. And thats just doing mundane internet surfing. I haven't had the chance to stress it yet. As soon as I finished my tweaking the wife had to jump on for a few hours for research. So far its been very stable.
I didn't get a chance to jot down what I set the voltage at. I believe its at 1.68v. My question is; is it running too hot? I was also inquiring about how to boost my RAM latency and fsb. Im kinda a rookie in this overclocking world.
My specs:
AMD Phenom II 965
M4A785TD M EVO MOBO
G Skill Ripjaws
Modxtreme pro 600w
Please excuse any mistypes im on a mobile device.
