Thanks Vezina,

The 965 is the Black Edition,so not sure what wattage it is and not sure what the black edition means. Can I overclock with the stock fan that came with the CPU? Not sure if I can.

Thank you

To identify the CPU you need the code printed on it.

Both CPU versions of 965 are Black Edition they are both unlocked.
You can easily overclock them by rising the multiplier one notch.The problem with the 140W TDP one is that it s already at it s peak and so might be the motherboard.

If you are reaching 50-55 Celsius now ,stock , when in load , then yes you may be able to overclock ,but keep in mind :

-the CPU temperature must be below 65 Celsius at all times
-the motherboard CPU VRM may reach it s limit quite quickly (it s budged board) , this meaning either that it will not provide enough overclocking headroom either you will see sparks from it :)
-rising the clock will bring more noise from the stock cooler ,so you may hear some airplane engine sounds coming from the PC :)

So if the temperature is already at over 60 Celsius in load you should forget about overclocking just to be on the safe side.

CPU Temperature is at 45 deg Celsius. CPU fan speed is at 3000.

I have never needed to overclock, but that probably due to the fact that my old P31 motherboard couldn't do it and I never know what to adjust. I suppose once I learn, it'll be like a bug LOL. I've had my finger on the VRM heatsink and it's quite cool.

As for the code on the CPU, I'll forget that for now - It's working, so I want some enjoyment LOL.

Thanks

With AMD it s easy ,it s just the CPU Multiplier in the MIT section.

FSB ( or HTT is at 200M) X CPU Multi = CPU Frequency.

But better be safe than sorry.You wont see huge performance increases anyway.

It s also the wrong section for overclocking discussions. :)

If other issues arrive feel free to post.

Enjoy the machine
