Phil, maybe you could explan this. I don't understand this. Ok, now am running @300FSB(2.7GHZ) with 1.3V vcore. Now I am getting load temps 0f 48-50C in TAT whereas when I was running @280FSB(2.52GHZ) 1.3 vcore, I was getting load temps of 44-46C. Does this mean that FSB counts towards making the chip hotter. I thought only Vcore count towards the temp. BTW comming up on 3 hours in orthos @300FSB, 1.3 Vcore.WOOT.
Don't read anything into a 2 or 3 degree delta in temps, as read by TAT. Any number of variables can account for such a small increase. Ambient case temp, ambient room temp, etc. Also, even though you have the vcore set to a specific value, in the BIOS, it will still fluctuate depending on the power needs of the CPU. If you monitor the vcore you will see that it will drop below 1.3 when the CPU is not under load. So, upping the CPU clock will demand more power and thus require more volts, which can easily account for a slight rise in temps.
