Don't think you have to, but I think it's recommended as windows 7 detects it an SSD and turns on/off what needs to be. I think that is right.

not really about the time, more about iv only just got it how i want it haha

 

[beejjacobs]

You'll get over it when you have a nice shiny new SSD and an amazingly fast PC as a result

just got my ssd/gfx and cooler, currently sitting at 4360.4mhz on the core, and idling at around 45c, with an arctic freezer pro 7, what sort of temps can the chip go up to under load? i think im best running intel burn test to see what it goes to at the moment

[stueng]

can anyone recommend a good program to clone my drive onto the ssd?

dont you also need a good program to clone your gf incase this current one leaves you?

 

[stueng]

and btw.. if the gf ever complains about spending money on computers the standard response is would you rather me be playing at home on computers or out getting ****ed with my mates

Theres no way she wont find out, females are physic.

I apologise now for the pedant coming out in me but; women are good at science? (Admittedly there aren't as few as you'd imagine in some scientific disciplines at uni but women tend to be outnumbered by men.)

Cool.

What temps are you getting under load?

 

[kiel367]

just ran ibt and it goes to between 75/80c on 10 passes extreme

To answer this, 70C and higher is safe.

Some people get up to 80's, but I would be disappointed at that.

Try reducing vcore a notch?

Try reducing vcore a notch?

ok, thats where im stumped, im a novice at overclocking

 

[stulid]

Have you increased the Vcore at all? Or just fiddling with the frequencies?

 

[kiel367]

Just used the gigabyte oc utility to put it to 4.36 and checked it with cpuz

Ah, well you should also run Prime95 then for lots of hours otherwise it may not be stable, if Prime 95 stops working or a single worker stops then you need to maybe try doing it manually in the BIOS.
