Hi all Ive just attempted to O/C my 2500k..

Does everything look all right on the below screen shot or is there anything else i can do to improve the situation???

Even though the Vcore is showing at 1.36 on the info its set in the bios at 1.35.

The screenshot was taken split second after finishing the Intel Burn Test, the cores showing at 42oC actually does idle at 30oC.

Thanks

Try and run 10-20 loops on max ram(I see you already did 5 on max). Temps look fine at max, although if you want, you can see if you can get the vcore a bit lower.

Apart from that, congrats :)

Ok then. Does it pass all loops on 1.35 then?

Ive got the Corsair Vengance 1600 arctic white memory in my pc and ive tried dropping the voltage on those to what it says they run on on the OC main page for the memory specs which is 1.35v

I upped that to 1.4 and 1.45 and it still blue screened..

Tried with 1.5v and the vcore for the cpu at 1.35 and all seems stable..

I dont know why the screenshot below shows the vcore a lot lower than its set in the bios.... its weird cause the vcore in the bios is set to 1.35 on both screengrabs but shows different when run 2 seperate time...

I aint got a clue....

With the lower voltage, that is probably vdroop kicking in.

Temps all seem fine, so as long as its all stable. Then you're good to go :)
