Hiya folks.....brand new to all this and have just succesfully managed to build my first self build PC...has work really well and am quite chuffed
system works well and even managed to change the bios without the use of a floppy disc!!
so being all smug wiv me old self decided to look into overclocking (used the thread on clocking for new ppl on this site which is very good) and first things first look at yer temps, and being a thorough sort of guy used several temp progs to check. My quick conclusion is that if i ignore TAT (which appears to be the odd one out) then it is running too hot and i dont have much scope if any to start overclocking yet ......

Notes : used workload level (100% on TAT for 5 mins
Artic cooling freezer 7 pro
Cooler master 832 case
4 x 120 mm side fans
standard HDD and rear exhaust fans running
so my question is what do i do next??
the freezer 7 pro seems to be fitted tight and correctly and the fans provide a lot of breeze!!
do i 1) mess about with where the fans are, put in different locations (suspect not as the temps too high??), or try smaller fans?
2) re fit the artic pro and use new temp sealant?
3) buy better cooler and fit?
4) ANO!!!
thanks in anticipation
