Yea thanks, I honestly don't see a need to buy a cooler since the max temp for these chips is 105c... and you know I will have this CPU for maybe another year or two before changing.

That hydro H100 looks huge, and looks like a pain in the butt to install lol I don't know if there's enough room for me to install that!

Yes, thanks ! I took the mother board battery out...

But I found out something cool about my mother board. I tried when I tried to set t the voltage to anything under 1.230, and the number would show up as pink, different color than before, it used to show as red... So after I rebooted the computer, I would get that blue ERROR screen that said there is something wrong with my pcs software or hardware. As soon as I set it to 1.230, the number was red again and it booted properly, so I think the motherboard was telling me already that anything under 1.230 was no good, and the sign was that pink color.

Anyways, I'm gonna see what results I get from 1.230

I played ghosts multiplayer and I got max 69...

69 is nice. You could try lowering your Vcore a little more in order to achieve somewhat better temps. Even if it goes from 4,5 to 4,4 or 4,3, you will not notice any serious performance hit apart from benchmarks...

@Grey_Eyed_Elf said:

Those temps are not high when you consider the fact that that cooler is not that good.

His cooler is a great cooler by zalman made from pure copper. I have the same in a Q6600 and after 6 years its stil rock solid. It can make a Q6600 B3 stepping to reach +50% o/c...

thanks, played watch dogs and it was still the same numbers and watch dogs is a cpu whore lol

But you are right tho, Prime 95 is just meant to stress the hell out of the CPU, I don't do anything close to that other than playing video games, I don't think I will ever get close to 80 playing video games or doing regular daily things on my pc.

Vcore voltage is set at 1.255 for 4.5ghz, what do you recommend ? would 1.967 be safe ? I mean I went from 1.325 to 1.255 and saw a significant decrease in temps
