Computer Help!

[quote=Searz]Well, that was back when it was new. There's now a big layer of dust covering the fan(that I'm too lazy to remove. Haven't cleaned it once for 5years :D). It runs at 48°C during Prime95. I usually run 3.6GHz because I dunno.. But I recently upped it to 3.8 to make my RAM run a bit faster too. For some reason my multiplier is 6(according to CPU-Z), when it should be 9. (making my effective clock 2.5GHz instead of 3.8GHz) As far as I know; that's a power saving feature where it "clocks" down to 6*FSB instead of 9*FSB. But while stressing it with Prime95 shouldn't it go with 9*FSB?[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]You have problems with BIOS settings then. It is power saving mode but it should go into full mode after atleast 3 seconds of Prime95. My processor is 1.6GHz saving mode, goes 4.6GHz after two seconds of Prime95. Anyway I'm pretty unconvinced that 5 years old never cleaned computer has an overclocked processor running at 48°C after 10 mins of Prime95. So yeah, pics or it didn't happen :D[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]As I thought. Full of BS.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]But I haven't fixed the power saving problem yet :([/quote]

[quote=Zoki]Whats the point of lying about your computer temperatures over internet?[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I can send you a pic of my CPU temps in power-saving with P95 running if that makes you happy. I don't lie :([/quote]

[quote=Searz]Lol, what? The power-saving problem disappeared when I rebooted. I didn't even make any changes in BIOS, and I found that the power-saving function was off already. Btw, I never reboot unless I have to. I abuse the hibernation mode as much as I can :3 Here's a pic: [img=http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2705/cputemp378ghz.png][/quote]

[quote=Searz]OCCT is a pretty renowned overclocking tool. Look it up or try it. Besides, those temps aren't godlike or anything like that. They may be really good, but I do have a good third party cooler.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]I know OCCT, I still prefer Everest. I seriously hope the second part is sarcasm(about very good temperatures). You have 50°C after 3 mins of Prime95, bennchmarked by 2 workers. Go for 4 workers, 10 minutes, then post the screen. PS: The picture remains same to your newest post.[/quote]
