I had p5q Pro with E8400, when OC the temps were really high (Core 1 -56, Core 2 - 57) all the test were failing due to this, So I ended up changing the processor & got a E8500. But sadly there was no change in the temp. Also changed the Cooler but still the same prob.
Finally decided to change the MOBO.
Besides OC issue's, there are certain issue as the system goes really slow at times without even running any kind of application & this happened with both the proc E8400 & E8500. So changing my MOBO is the last resort, if the issue isn’t solved will literally throw the pc out of the window
I hope you know the right things when you are "overclocking".
Overclocking is not recommended on stock coolers.
What psu do you use?
The temps reported are not so high considering the stock cooler is being used.
A bad overclock/BIOS settings seems to be more like it in your case.
You need to post the specs of your entire rig.
Mobo, cpu, psu, HDDs, cooler, etc etc
the case/cabinet+fans used.
Post screenshots with cpuZ and core temp, real temp.
It maybe that you are trying to OC at auto settings with improper mem dividers, timings, ...
It is possible your setup is not loaded with the right default settings when setup initially.
I have heard not enabling AHCI and not disabling EIST can make intel rigs very slow to respond initially or in between tasks of varying loads.
Also selecting settings/options in BIOS manually to their default values instead of "AUTO" helps speed up things to optimum at times.
I sincerely hope you resolve/recognise the correct issue and act suitably than end up with a new mobo but no relief from your woes. :cool2:
