Hello all!!! (Slaymate!) I have come to the conclusion that I wish to OC my rig. I bought this thing back in August and it has been awesome! I'm wanting to go for 24/7 use like around 3.2 to 3.4 on air which I'm sure I can do with my set up (In my Sig). I have done some minor reading and youtube watching but it still is a little fuzzy to me on what needs to be done. All help is much appreciated! Let me know if I need to post any screens shots before I begin the OC! Thanks!

I see no sig. Post a pic of HWMonitor with your present setup.

His sig is white so you must be using the light theme.

Cooler Master ATCS 840 | I7 920 DO | Corsair 850HX | EVGA E758-A1 X58 | OCZ Platinum 6GB DDR3 | Prolimatech Megahalems w/Kaze 3000 | EVGA GTX 285 | WD Caviar Black 640GB + Caviar Black 1TB | Samsung T240 | Logitech G-15 + G9X | Vista Home Premium 64-Bit | LG 8X BD-ROM Combo Drive | S-Flex SFF21F Case Fans |

You should be able to do 3.2 to 3.4 without any voltage adjustments. If it is not prime stable a very small vcore bump should get you there.

Thanks guys... I'm busy today (**** girlfriends!) but I'll check my bios this evening and post that checklist Slaymate! I have one filled out from the last time you helped me with some crashing issues but it has run stable now for 2 months! What programs would you guys recommend I get for testing? I already have EVGA E-Leet that came with the MB and also CPUID HWMonitor.

[Nubbleet]

Yeah, with 3.2-3.4 all you really need to do is set the bclk to 161 and RAM 2:10 and you should be good to go.

[Burninator]

For testing use Intel Burn Test or LinX

Do you want me to post a screen shot of HWMonitor running?

[Nubbleet]

To hit the OC you want just change "CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) (133)" to 161. and "Memory Frequency (1600mhz/2:12)" to 2:10. You could also probably lower the voltage to like 1.2 or lower.

[Slaymate]

I'm off to work, I'll look it over this afternoon. Til then you should try Nubbleet's suggestion. Run LinX to test stability and post a screenshot of your idle and load temperatures

[Slaymate]

Have you adjusted anything yet? I would like to see a HWMonitor screenshot showing your volts and temps, as they presently are, before we change anything.
