Hi folks,
Like many of you, Im planning a system build within the next month or so. Watching the way things are developing on the conroe front, Im noticing a wide disparity on OCs that seems to have little to do with CPU voltage/temps/stepping/ram/bios or any of the other more common limiting factors to overclocks.
This got me thinking about possible other limiting factors like northbridge/southbridge temps and voltages. Im wondering if this is going to wind up being a critical factor to my OC.
Surfing around: It does not seem that theres much info out there on this issue so I figured that maybe a thread here would help.
You guys that got monster OCs What are your mobo chipset temps? Have you got them volted up? What kind of cooling are you using?
To the guys that got a lower OC Have you looked at your chipset temps? Messed with voltages?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks
