 |  Re: My first overclock that looks fine from here, all u need to do is to run a stress test to ensure that its stable now. if it is, you can crank it up further, or keep it there. if it isnt, you may need to up the voltage or lower the FSB.

| Re: My first overclock Um, Besides your motherboard running @ 81c (which is probably a bad sensor) and the gpu being a little hot (was it just under stress?, and if not what are the temps under stress?) Everything looks good.

| Re: My first overclock Yeah my mohterboard sensor always says like 81 or 82. Under stress it gets up to high 50's and one core got 60. (while under prime95 stress). I ran prime95 6 hours no errors. I'm thinking I can push it a little bit more. |

| Re: My first overclock such a high mobo temp isnt good for the life of your system...do u have enough airflow in your case? you may want to consider perhaps getting a 3rd party fan for your chipset cooling... what mobo are you using?

| Re: My first overclock you have your vCore set to auto, so the chip is getting 1.4+ ...that's way more than you should need for 3.2ghz Try setting the voltage to 1.35v manually in the BIOS then see if its stable. Your temps should be lower at that voltage and you will see you'll have more overclocking headroom.

| Re: My first overclock @ Da Viksta He stated (and i also commented) that the motherboard temperature is incorrect and is the cause of a faulty sensor.

| Re: My first overclock Oh I thought I had changed it to manual, I guess not. Once I get home I'll check that out. I'm using EVGA 750i FTW. Oh and is it normal to get like 1 fps in the CPU test of 3Dmark06? One last question. I read somewhere else that people recommend turning off speedstepping and on other thing (can't remember off the top of my head). Should I do this? Last edited by cobra777; 07-07-2008 at 01:40 PM. |

| Re: My first overclock Ok I changed the CPU core from auto to 1.35v. Just a quick question what is the CPU FSB voltage for? Do i need to be changing that too? Its in the red (which i'm assuming is bad) |
