now like I said before there's no way I would have thrown an overclocked quad
core on the uh the POR G55 n usb3 from
Gigabyte that's that ITX board that I was uh overclocking on a dual core but
what I did decide to do is throw a quad core on it and then just run Prime over
a course of a couple of days and see how
it fares so you can see the temperatures are unreasonably high up to 98° on some
of the cor and that really comes down to the uh the core i5 CPU Cooler not being
adequate really um and my room being
quite warm after sitting in this tiny enclosed space so by the time the room
really heated up well you see that it
gets pretty hot so I mean really if you're running this in a little tiny ITX
case like say for example this one then you're going to want to make sure that
you're you're using some kind of decent cooler it might just be that I have bad
contact with my thermal compound but um
actually you know what that's that might be it either way okay so I'm
running eight threads of prime 95 what CPU is
this hold on a minute oh okay well this
is a quad core but uh I don't think I'm
allowed to talk about this
one yeah I'm not okay okay so I won't talk about it anyway eight threads quad
core it's been running Prime for a grand total of let me see see how long it ran
for for 56 hours 49 minutes the board
didn't blow up so that really completes my experimenting with the h55 N USB 3 it
uh held up admirably in a room that must have been well over 30° at its worst
with just a stock cooler with poorly applied thermal compound and the mosfets
and the board itself did not explode so
uh very nice
