Run Orthos again and see what your max temp is now. If it were me, I would just disable fan control in the BIOS and let the CPU fan run at Max RPM.

Thanks 0wn3d....it seems that a simple after-shave lotion can also be used...

before you use it on you cpu put it on a clean surface and see if it leaves resadue

I was not sure whether I should disable it completely...but with your assurance I'm gonna do it now. Unfortunately I find that BIOS options are least explained part in the motherboard literature.

I shall try it in a while and let you know. meanwhile, earlier when the profile was set to "Ultra Silent" in BIOS, speed fan was reporting fan's RPM as 1583, whereas now as it is set to "Performance" it is reporting 2235 rpm. weirdly enough, speed fan is reporting CPU temps much lower than both CoreTemp or TAT.

what are you bios idle temps do they match speedfan or coretemp idles?

Thanks, I shall. By surface, you must be meaning clean metallic surface or glass- right?

Well, while I checked BIOS earlier, the temp was about 45-46C, which was very near to the present idle temps of CoreTemp.

Underclocker

Yes.

45-46C idle is still a bit high, but should be about right if you're experiencing some hot weather.

Then coretemp is correct windows puts alittle load on the cpu so it will be alittle higher in windows IMHO load temps are all that matter

Yes, so load up ORTHOS and check your peak temps. If they look pretty good it's time to get your hands dirty overclocking your system. Good luck with it.

Sorry guys, one more explanation is required (I hope that I'm not getting on your nerves )

In ORTHOS there are multiple profiles available, which profile should I choose? (I did not notice that there are a number of profiles in Orthos last time when I ran this test)

The small ffts test for temps and the cpu and ram to test your overclock

The blended test is fine, but if I remember correctly , large ffts generate the most heat.

BTW, we are here to answer questions so don't sweat it

EDIT:

I had to double check, but it is large FFTs for max heat. Orthos is based on Prime95 and prime explains each choice. See screenie.

So I'm going to choose Large FFTs, but for how long (or to which value max temp) should I allow it to run, as I understand this is really gonna fire up my Processor...

When just checking the temp about 15 mins will give you a good idea of where you're at, for stability testing however, you need to run it for several hours. 12-24hrs on your final OC to verify stability.

Hello Mattlock, Underclocker and 0wn3d

Here is the result:

• The profile chosen in Orthos: " Large, in-place FFTs - stress some RAM"
  
• I ran the test for about 17 minutes.
  
• After few minutes of starting the Temperature went up to 69C but remained almost steady at this point, and never crossed this temperature.
  
• During this process of testing, except my default security programs (AV, Comodo FW, Comodo BOClean, WinPatrol and Teatimer) nothing else was running.
  
• This is night time and the temperature inside the room is quite low, about 26C-28C. During day time this temperature rises by at lest 8C-10C (indoor).

Hope I have cleared all points and for your reference I'm also attaching the logs of both the programs.

Let me know one thing: Do I still need to apply Thermal Paste (well I never got the time to visit the store to get the tube of the paste yet)?

Thanks again for your support...
