    When I using a USB flash disk, the webcam (backside) become hot.

    I dont understand what the problem is? :confused: :confused:

    ------

    The overclocking is graphic card, I done it with core 521Mhz / mem 418.5Mhz (DDR 837).

    With T7400, 3d mark 05, score is 4567 (nice number :D)

    I also tried using ClockGen to overclock CPU and FSB; the clock IC datasheet

    said that is read only and can not modifiy. Only I can do is disable Spread Spectrum.... so unfortunately

    Where did you get a T7400, and what to you mean the webcam got hot? How could it even get hot, and why would it do that while using a USB device? Sounds rather fishy to me.

    I don't know if the usb drive is causing the heat but i've read that it's normal for the webcam to heat up on the z96j's ... because it keeps running in the background or something. you can disable it from hardware manager and that should stop the problem :)
