Ok, i just put in all my new cooling equipment. A thermalright SLK-947U CPU heatsink with a Vantec Tornado (toned down with a Nexus fan controller). Arctic Silver 5 is on the processor.
I downloaded Motherboard Monitor 5 and it is showing that my CPU and Case temperatures are staying at around 24-26 celcius.
After running CnC Generals at max settings for about a half hour the CPU went up to 35C and the case to 30C.
I'm wondering if this heat/cooling is optimal for OCing or if I should hook up another 80mm fan I have.
[EDIT] I'm also wondering if MM5 is a good program to use.
[EDIT2] One last thing. I'm looking for a good tester of my PC's stabability and power. Can anyone recomend some good programs? I've heard some good things about 3dMark03 and I was told I should get a "burn in" program, whatever that is. Any recomendations?
