Hi all.

my xp2600 TB2 has been OC to about 2300mhz from the standard 2080mhz for ages maybe for a year, with 1.7volt, lately the temp has started to increase until the system just crashes or blue screens.

I clean the heatsink regularly fan works a ok its the aero jet, so thats not the problem. abient temp is 29`c so thats not the problem. I have even clocked it down to 2080 and volteges down to 1.625. no effect.

my cpu stays above 50 or lowest 48`c, the cpu dies at 58`C i have to crank every fan to the highest setting to play games.

Is it dieing?

Time to load MBM5, in logging mode. I would suspect n bridge, or v-regs before chip. When a chip fails, it usually does it all at once.
You might also want to take a look at your capacitors, make sure they're OK.

I would suggest you remove the cooler, clean off the old thermal paste & put some fresh paste on...

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

I think he's in denial. Bet he went to the "Other" and Wingding savagely violated his chocolate love sphincter. Now he secretly longs for the next torrid encounter with the donkey violator! :evil:

I hadn't noticed taht until you said it! Have a lover's spat and every gossip on the block wants to put their ear to the proverbial door. :wink: There's definitely a population that needs to be set free!
