What do you think of these temps?

[revolink24]

My computer:

MSI K9A2 Platinum
AMD Phenom 9950BE
OCZ EvoStream 720
ATI HD4850 (Overclocked stock cooler to 675MHz core - runs around 50 idle and 65 load - not too worried about that considering before I manually set the fans it was hovering around 80)
G.Skill 1066MHz 4GB

What I AM worried about is that I have my 9950BE overclocked to 2.9GHz with a 14.5x multiplier with the stock cooler. It seems stable, and according to the AMD Overdrive stability test, it is. But it creeps up and hits 58C at load - Which on processors such as the P4 Prescott I know is fine, but there is little history so far with the 140W TDP 9950 temps... AMD lists the processor's "safe" temperature at 64C... Am I just worrying too much? It just seems that most people are having trouble hitting this with aftermarket cooling, and the fact that I got it so easily, stable with the stock voltage is a bit worrying....

Temperatures read with SpeedFan, BIOS, and Overdrive (triple checked)

If this is fine I don't see what everyone is complaining about when overclocking the Phenoms... I mean Im not an insane overclocker looking for 18 Gigahertz, but 2.9 stock voltage stock cooler seems pretty damn good to me... And I see no signs that I've hit "the wall."

except a $189 Q6600 can easily get to 3.0GHz without a voltage change and can reach 3.6 fairly easily on air.

 

[iluvgillgill]

those temp seems fine.

but the V3NOM is even finer!lol

 

[V3NOM]

yes, i am fine indeed.

 

[iluvgillgill]

here is the grinder!make yourself fineRRRRRR!LOL

 

[V3NOM]

someone got some mascara lying around somewhere i can have?

 

[iluvgillgill]

you need that for?????

 

[V3NOM]

put it on my cpu duh.....best thermal grease out there.... wat planet are you from gill? noob-mars?

lol that was lame/epic phail.

 

[iluvgillgill]

lol

DIAMOND IS GIRLS BEST FRIEND!!!

LOL

 

[V3NOM]

so wat r u a girl?

or are you hoping to attract da ladies because you have a really nerdy UV lighted computer that uses DIAMOND THERMAL GREASE! (whatever that is)

 

[iluvgillgill]

no im not a girl. that phrase just pop out of nowhere.lol

but who doesnt like diamond?it worth more the gold man!

 

[V3NOM]

idc platinum ownz looks so kool

 

[iluvgillgill]

And that q6600 doesn't have a quad-crossfire motherboard for $150 either, does it? And I went up to 3.0 yesterday, still got the stock cooler, still stable, still stock voltage. I am the winrar.

 

[iluvgillgill]

no there isnt any under 150. there is a DFi mobo i think it was suppot quad crossfire.
