Hi guys
Recently purchased a "Titan Spinosaur" From overclockers, over the past month have been updating and adding various new upgrades to the pc.. Have added some more memory, a SSD and flashed the bios to the latest software.. Since adding the memory have lost the overclock so put it back to 4.6ghz currently running at 1.350v (which all runs ok, I am not sure if 1.350 is too high for 4.6ghz and i can get away with lower..) Anyway, specs are as follows:
Case: Antec 300 Case with Purple LED Fans
Power Supply: OCZ ZS 750w PSU
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Sandybridge CPU
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD65 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
Cooler: OcUK H2 Flo CPU Cooler
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Hard Drive 1: OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive
Hard Drive 2: Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 3TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM - OEM
Graphics Card: HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Sound: Realtek 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
Optical Drive: LG DVD+/-RW SATA Drive
Really what I am wanting to know is will the cpu go higher than it is at the moment on the above spec with the h2 flo cooler etc, I have just checked with core temp and it is running around 40degrees average on windows 7 desktop, Also could i get away with a lower core voltage at this speed or clock to around 4.8 - 5ghz with a core between 1.350 - 1.4v?, and would it be my worth while doing this.. Usage wise I play games.. at the moment, SC2, WoW soon to be new Call of Duty and will probably dabble with Rage and BF3 and install all my old HL2 stuff
Kind regards
Will
