thanks jay .
i have heard about it but never tried it myself.
sounds just like what i could use to be quite helpful in overclocking and keeping the temps under a close eye!
today Monday 15th October 07
well i got a new thermalright ultra 120 extreme HSF unit today with 120mm fan and alos the HR-05 ifx chipset heatsink and 80mm fan !
i put them on but i couldnt fit the bloody chispset fan cos ther is no bloody room at all! !
a quick check and at idle overclocked 3ghz it idles at around 28C and under full load [ all 4 cores maxed out] it is around 50C ! now that is pretty damn good at full load cos the stock HSF runs around 70C on a cool day so it would be worse today!
i let the motherboard auto adjust the cpu core voltage and it seems to run around 1.4 volts at 3.0ghz .
i went back and manually adjusted the cpu core temp at a fixed 1.35 v max. then i overclocked it to 3105mhz and run prime95 v25.5 [maxes out all 4 cores] and run a few goes of 3dmark2006 at the same time and checked temps and stability. runs fine no probs !
