Hi guys,
Just got my sandybridge set up yesturday, Asus P8P67 Pro and 2500k.
Now I started reading around about overclocking and found the thread in the CPUs section telling you what voltages not to exceed etc.
I also did some digging on all the Asus settings in the motherboard and came across another thread in another forum, telling you to set lots of settings to extreme.
However, I read that these extreme settings were if you want to get 5ghz+
I just want something like 4.8, I did put the settings on Extreme last night, and with 1.35v VCORE I easily hit 4.8 and did some gaming fine. but thought I would Prime95 it this morning and it blue screened.
So just wondering exactly what settings should be changed etc. And is it ok to run an unstable Prime95 oc. because I read in that forum that many settings were turned to extreme just to stop the prime95 from BSOD'ing.
