Hi there,

I can get my 2600K (hyperthreading off) to 4.5GHz easily at about 1.3v and it runs Prime successfully.

I currently have it running at 4.8 @ 1.4 using the settings from this guide:

Unfortunately I always BLOD when running Prime, sometimes after a few minutes or up to an hour in. However so far my pc has run fine as long as I don't stress test it. I can play BF3 (probably the most demanding thing my pc will do apart from Prime) for a few hours. Maximum temp is 62 degrees with BF3, highest seen so far in Prime is 83.

My question is should I just stay at 4.8 which is stable for everyday use even though my pc can't cope with Prime or drop back to a completely stable 4.5? Also do you think my voltage is a bit high @ 1.4, temps seem to be ok.

Many thanks!
