Pushed that last one a tad too far I believe, Prey crashed immediately on game load. Decreased speeds a tad:

Prey loaded and I played for 20 minutes. Not a great stress test, but it'll do for now...

You could probably do with a better cooler than the stock Intel one, although if not overclocked it should cool the chip fine. Ensure that it is fitted to the mainboard correctly (all 'clips' are fully pushed in until they make a satisfying 'click'). May want to add some more case fans too, at the front to suck in cool air, and at the rear to exhaust the warm air build up inside the case.

That card produces a lot of heat. What was probably an OK cooling solution before you got that card probably can't dissipate the heat well enough. You need a good case, several cooling fans and a good airflow throughout. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem with your CPU/heat sink, although you may want to invest in a better fan than the stock Intel one.

Sorry the pic sucks....basically just shows my A64 3700+ (San Diego) reaching 2.9 ghz on air cool. Hits 47C when under cpu bench. It's stock ghz is 2.2 so not to shabby

The san diego cores are the best A64 core to OC with....its basically and clocked down FX 57 I think

My First Overclock Ever

Pentium 4 505 2.66Ghz:

Running at 3.00GHz. 150MHz FSB. Load temp = 52C

Stock cooling. Well, whatever came with my Pre-built PC really.

And yeah, I know...Pre-built = Bad... :unsure:

ATi All-In-Wonder 9600:

Core - 324Mhz up to 425MHz

Memory - 195MHz up to 251MHz

Also stock cooling, just the heatsink.

And after looking at some of the computers here,

mine is really starting to show its age.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
