3000+ Overheating?

Stock HS/F

278x9.0, 5:6 RAM @ 2.5-3-3-8 1T (I should be able to cut back on the timings later.)
HTT 3x, 1.6V, 45C idle, 65C load - Hits 66C, and Prime95 fails within 2 seconds.

This... This is bloody HOT. I've GOT to cool it down. I've got it in a Cooler Master ATC-710 with a few fans.

No dust in HS/F... I guess it's just overheating. Any way to stop it from doing this short of a new HS/F or WC setup?

 
get a better heatsink...
you will be able to OC more probably too... get a XP120 or XP90C. I have the hyper6 by cooler master and I idle at 35 and load at maybe 50 and im Oced from 2.0 to 2.48 (275x9)
 
Is the heatsink on all the way? What are your sys temps?
 
Dropped the voltage from 1.6V to 1.5V... Why the hell did I have it that high again? It's now hitting 61C tops. And passes prime95 at 2.4Ghz with no troubles.
 
nice,
i suggest a Volcano12+ ,
its all copper heatsink and speed controller make it a nice one.
& trust me copper alllot better than alluminium
 
You are on the right track with dropping the voltage. The main thing is you are overclocking with a stock HSF so the temps sound about correct. My 3000+ is not overclocked :mad: the motherboard won't let me. It runs at 34C idle and 42C loaded down with a Thermalright XP90 and Panaflo L 92mm fan at 7 volts on a controller. I have the fan sucking air through the heat sink and blowing up through a 120mm vent in the top of my ATC620 desktop microATX case.

Heat pipes are your friend.
