OC'ing problem

S0ULphIRE · 02-25-2008, 12:22 AM

I found a computer about a year ago, got it working fine, with a nice overclock. About a month ago, I took it back to core speeds (while I was demonstrating the bios clear function to a mate). I just tried overclocking again yesterday and even the smallest increase sends the temps up at a nearly exponential rate! The northbridge is also pretty hot even when the pc isn't under load. Any theories?

check the fan speeds. if theyre running too slowly then that can add to your heat problem

What about you?
