my friend and I was having a go at overclocking my system - since he has already overclocked his i5 system to 4.7 we had a go at mine..... started off with 4.7 on mine and was stable, we then went to 4.8 which was stable, we got adventurous and decided to go for the big 5.0 but when stress testing got blue screen and didnt fancy taking the voltage past 1.470. So decided to drop it down and got it stable at 4.9 and here is the result
not sure as new to ocerclocking well so far its been stable with no problems and my mate and I have been playing trackmania 2 for about 4 hours solid without any problems would like to know that some more expertised OC'ers think of this
had a bit of a prblem with the OC earlier as tried to get it to run 4.9 when under load and idle at the usual 1.6 - however my friend and i messed up and its taken us till now from about 12:30 this morning to sort it out. the numbers are slightly different and the temps are slightly higher, hopefully they are not too high. Comments please and what you recommend if too high e.t.c.
I would not be happy pumping that amount of voltage through my 2500k, temperatures are also very high (because of the voltage). I imagine you could be damaging your CPU. Read this. As an examlple, I have mine at 4.6ghz and the voltage is at 1.288 with temperatures not going over 60c. I would advise you to dial that down a little, and do a bit more research.
had a look online and was found this on the over clockers.net forum in google search- Now i am running 4.7 Ghz at a max of 79oC under load with a voltafe of 1.44 - hopefully this is better
"CPU Voltage: Obviously this is the daddy that really gives you the MHz. However, remember that LGA1155 Sandy Bridge CPUs are made with a 32nm manufacturing process, so don't need as much juice as your last 45nm, 65nm or older CPU did. Up to 1.3V is completely fine for an everyday overclock, whereas at some way between 1.3V and 1.4V you'll see the heat output increase quite notably even if you can push the CPU a little bit higher. We wouldn't recommend using more than 1.3V unless you have a powerful cooler, and using a vcore of 1.4V or more isn't advisable unless you're just planning a quick Kamikaze benchmark run. Professional overclockers might use a vcore of 1.5V or above even, but bear in mind that these guys and gals get CPUs by the tray load from sponsors! " At the end of the day its your hardware, but I still wouldn't fancy that.
Volts are borderline, but those temps worry me. Fine for a benchmark just to see what the chip is capable of, but you're not planning on running that all the time are you?
your within intels specs for max voltage.. who would know better than the guys who built the chip.. I've always kept my overclocks under ark spec and they've been solid on the core2 and up the problem a lot of people face is they don't know what the hell they are doing.. so they run auto everything and are pushing way too much voltage through on the chipset, ect.. set everything manually and you'll find you can do a lot less and get a lot more.. of course keeping the loaded temps down is key and the real test is running applications over time.. a really good test I found is pyrit- if you can crunch piped to pyrit piped to cowpatty for more than 10 hours strait.. your rig can handle anything windows can throw and more but you want to keep the voltage down to the absolute minimums (ppl ect..) also load line calibration spike has to be taken into account.. everytime your cpu is loaded and load line calibration is set.. there will be a spike in voltage over what's set in the bios- that's why keeping a bit under intels max voltage is a good idea to buffer it anyways gl with your oc!
Thats a bit too hot in my opinion, and those volts are high for everyday usage. You should be aiming to keep the cpu under 65c ish at full load, and volts around the 1.3v mark (im new to sandybridge oc settings myself but ive plenty of experiance with other types)
been having another go to get the CPU temps down but cant seem to get below 69 degrees, id this an ok temp or do i need to go lower What have you done to get this? as when i ge below 1.330 it blue screen of deaths on me Also not exactly sure what i can change in the mother board appart from voltage and multipliers, if i can post some pice of what the settings are from my bios (uefi) can someone advise on there what can be done to get a better system from it?
