PH II 955 Getting a Bit Hot after OC

[Tech_Wiz]

Hello,

My Config is in my siggy.

I have OCed my PH II 955 BE to 3600 by changing Multiplier and Pushed HT Link to 2200 MHz. AMD Cool & Quiet is Enabled.

Stock Cooler, Stock Volts.

Not CPU idles around 39 Deg. and in Full Load after like 2 hrs of gaming it goes to 63-65 Deg.

I checked & found Phenom were good to go till 71 Deg.

So are these Temps OK? Or I should pull back to 3.5 to get a couple of Deg. Cooler.

I think the temps are fine. Let other users comment.

Temps seem fine..

Hmm I only have 1 Exhaust 120 mm fan running in rear apart from the CPU Cooler fan & GFX Stock Fan. Do I need a Front Panel Pull Fan to lower the temp further?

 

[Skud]

It should help.

mayn't help much. temperature will be still hover around 65-66.

adding a front fan will certainly increase airflow but i'll also suggest to get a tube of TIM & apply it. this (in some case) lower temperature by 10degree or more.

I'll say temperatures are fine. No need of bothering much.

but in summer season it will increase for sure so it's better if Op adds a front fan in cabby or even better - buy a new cpu cooler - it's always better to have a 3rd party good cpu cooler if anyone is serious about ocing IMO

a cm hyper 212+ should do the work
