yea i just checked here its ben running a few hours now and im at 23c cpu on adverage use like posting on the forums here...and 31c on the system it self...i think shes running hot still...i did put verrly little on there and then i smeared it around...maybe it needs more..

DUDE! 23 degrees Celsius is NOT hot at all!! That's excellent, it is definitely working. :yay:

good news i have successfully mass overclocked my new system ..with what i think is ok temps..
screen below shows stressing and the max load on it with heat...

it runs at 30 to 31 c (regularly) for the cpu on oc here...
mass load is the pic below...

Follow what i said in my PM, regarding running two instances to stress all 4 cores. Also, use Coretemp or Intel Thermal Analysis Tool for more accurate readouts.

That's a good overclock, how much did you raise the Vcore, if at all? You really need to run Orthos for 8 hours or so overnight to ensure it's fully stable (don't like BSOD's now do we )

You could try and go further, or you could try dropping the multiplier and achieving a higher front side bus. But, this is when it gets tricky as your overclocking your memory further and it may need overvolting as well as the northbridge.
