Is that good or bad? Worse or better than before.

Much better, now idles at 41c and loads at 48-50c, great cooler for 20 bucks, my stock wasnt even making contact with the NB fully.

It's a very cool cooler, myself was thinking of getting that one or one of the thermalright's chipset coolers.

Could you tell me the NB voltage you're using when it gets to the 48-50c?

I check temps and voltages with pc probe II, but don't know if they are accurate, at least the CPU voltage and temp are the same as the ones on CPU-Z and Real Temp.

With the stock heatsink, prime95 on load, PC Probe II reports 46º with NB on 1.23v
Maximum temp I get is 55º with NB on 1.44v
I have 6 fans on my case, upgraded the window panel fan to a aerocool 140mm, but don't know if those temps are true, I'm no experten, but doesn't seems much temperature difference for 21 volts of setting change.

My RAM settings are all in auto, except the voltage and speed.
On my daily 400 FSB overclock and also when I test 444FSB I have them on the 2.1v max and 1066/1067MHZ.
Still trying to find the NB, FSBT and SB limit for those BUs speeds. Haven't tryed to go beyond their 1066MHZ limit or change the timings.

My RAM settings are all in auto, except the voltage and speed. At the 333FSB was with 2.04v and 1066MHZ as in the screenshots in the GSkill site.
On my daily 400 FSB overclock and 444 I have them on the 2.1v max.

With 1.43v in the bios, i get 39-43c idle, depending on room temp, and about 44-50c load

On the g.skill memory, they are these right http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231166
Whats the max fsb you have run them stable, thanks, i cant get anything above 427fsb stable with this ram.

HUmm... I think I might spend 20 euros on that SPirit II even just for 5º difference, it shure is pretty and with leds! Damn, since I've build for the first time my computer, now I get crazy for led fans and stuff like that cooler. My pc is starting too look like a Christmas tree.

Yes, they are those.
Max FSB I've run stable was 450, but with 1.39vcore on my E8400, just ran prime 1 hour with that voltage. Since I've read more then 1.36v deteriorates the 45nm I'm afraid of passing that limit.
I've run also prime with 440FSB with 1.36vcore for 5 hours. No errors.
