I recently upgraded my system the other day.
After much reasearch (Northwood over clocking guide here helped LOTS!) i decided the best bang for my buck was was get a boxed 1.8A and overclock that.
I also purchased an ASUS P4S533 SiS (645DX chipset).
I'm now running totally stable at 2.7 - I have not tried to go any higher yet as i dont really know what temperature my CPU is running at.
So my question (or two :rolleyes2 )is this:
Do i continue to fly blind and just assume all is okay as my system is not crashing?
Or should i invest in some better cooling? How do i find my systems temps?
I downloaded Motherboard monitor, but i could not get it to show the temps of my system <- not sure whats wrong here.
Input would great.
Thanks fer ya time.
