I have a fx 5950 and i overclocked to 540mhz core and 970mhz memory. the score in 3dmark 03 droped from 5189 to 4129. why is it because of thermal throltting or somthing like that and can i disable that or somthing. it is at 37degrees celcius when doing nothing right now is that bad? it wasnt much different before and it stays aroung this tempeture when i check it after 3dmark03 finished. thanks
