Need advice on my overclock.

Well i have found the max FSB for 1.4V core which i am really happy about and the core temps got to around 80c max. with hwmonitor it didnt show my CPU temp just the cores so i might not have a CPU temp sensor on my motherborad.

Thanks for all the help guys, your amazing :)

not a bad result to say uv being doing that from inside windows.

Read up abit more, ask questions on here, and you will be amazed at how easy it is to overclock in the bios.

Wayne was more helpfull as he's used that cpu before, my help was just general stuff lol, but allways glad to help.

Oh and forgot earlier, welcome to the forums lol.

Edit:

Look for TMPIN0 in hardware monitor that is ur overall cpu temp
TMPIN1 is ur chipset/motherboard.

I will deffiantly be doing more research on the subject as i found this quite fun.

Well when i started doing this it was done inside the BIOS but i only did the FSB in windows because i didnt want to reboot every time i wanted up it by 5. Now i am going to set the vaules in the BIOS so there set at boot.

Both of you where great, couldnt have done it without you :)

Thanks :D

Your jargon is mixed up? I think you mean the Max CPU MHz for 1.4vCore :)

I'd be suprised if you couldn't get it up to 4GHz (10x400) without too much trouble! . . . don't forget good FSB speed and good Memory speed helps to speed things up also so when you get time give both the FSB and Memory a good tweak! . . . . enjoy! :cool:
 
Well i tried it with 10x400 with 1.472v and it bluescreened at the login screen. i assume if i put the vcore up it might slove it but then that means more heat and i dont have an amazing cooler, Xilence Frozen Fighter 775.

Hi, sorry when I said [1.472v] I meant the reading as seen in CPU-z while the chip is under full load . . . . i didn't mean set in the BIOS! :)
 
Ok, well what i have been doing is changing the FSB in the os and then when i find a stable value i set it in the BIOS, then i upped the vcore in the bios and then go back to finding a stable fsb and then setting that in the bios.

Isnt that what im ment to be doing? :P :D

Danny mate, for £4.00 that's a great bit of kit, the picture I supplied was something I was using a year or so ago and yeah I agree the Intel push-pins are not a joy to work with. The Thermalright conversion kit cost me about £4.00 alone so you got a good deal there! :)

off topic:

I was thinking to myself the other day about the Intel push pins . . . and I couldn't understand why they choose to use the push-pin and not go with a simple back-plate/screw-in option as in both our pictures above :confused:

It must have been a cost thing? . . .I would have been happy to pay an extra £1.00 or £2.00 for a better thought out cooling solution! :cool:

Ok that's an interesting way to overclock! :)

Most of us use the BIOS as the Windows software sometimes has glitches which make overclocking harder but having said that I did play with AMD Overdrive for a month which is their bespoke O/S Overclocking software and found that quite good . . . . . although in the end as the overclock progressed I did get some lockup problems after applying the settings but these same problems never occurred when using the BIOS . . .

Still your making some progress doing it your way so no harm for the moment. If you do hit a wall I suggest doing the overclocking through BIOS to see if that helps! :cool:

[edit] BTW can we have a full hardware spec please and can you also include Coretemp in future screenshots showing full load temps ta! ;)
 
I agree, i though that it was a steal. so what did the converstion kit do?

Maybe it was something to do with new people to building computers as they might screw the motherboard in without putting the backplate in then having to unscrew it but i bet the push pins are the cause of a lot of overheating issues. i would pay extra as well just so i could screw the thing tight to the motherboard.

But doing it from the BIOS takes so much longer having to reboot after every settings change. Well i am using software made for my motherbaord from the company that made it and never had a problem with it.

Danny if you read what I am saying I said its fine carry on doing it your way! :)

I then went on to say if you Hit A Wall or come up against an overclocking problem you should try to get around this problem by using the BIOS! :D

[edit] can we have a screenshot of a good prime run please @ 3.8GHz
