So I got my new Pentium D 930 rig up and running (no beeps!) and it is going well. I have it at 3.5Ghz from 3.0Ghz with a 933Mhz FSB. Stable so far. I'm going game some tonight and then let it fold for 24hours straight and see where we get. Looking good for out of the box and stock cooling!

    I'll enjoy this thread. That's impressive for stock cooling.

    So, that 3.5 didn't last all night, It did eventually lock up. I backed it off 100Mhz and things are still going well. MBM doesn't support my motherboard so I don't really know how hot things are running while folding. All I can do it look in the BIOS. If it can last at least 48hours folding with no errors in the folding, It will be stable enough for me.

    what motherboard are you using?

    im sure there are utilities made by the manufacturer that will allow you to see the temps in windows. just need to look!

    If it's Asus, use Asus Probe. I think MSI has software too.

    You can also thry Speedfan, rbf. Another good app for netburst procs to download is called throttlewatch, which will tell you if your processor is hitting the TM1 or TM2 state throttling. That is for sure a good indicator that you are having a heat problem, as all the throttling is done on the processor itself. Plus, I would highly recommend getting a Thermaltake Big Typhoon hsf for that Pentium D. It's big and badazz and low noise to boot. Just ask Leo; that's what he has on his 820 and clocking higher than your 930.

    It is a gigabyte motherboard. I am looking into the big typhoon.

    Oh, thanks Mudd. Hey RBF, Mudd had recommended Throttlewatch to me when I started overclocking my D820. I was sure that the CPU was not throttling. Throttlewatch proved me wrong. It's a cool little monitor. You'll like it.

    What kind of memory are you using?

    Nightwolf has a good point. Post your memory specs. While you are at it, post all the specs. It'll be much easier for us to help you out with your OC if we know what you're running.

    Speedfan 4.20 should show your temps.
