I am a total newbie but assembled my system ok on Sunday and it runs smoothly(after i set the Dram voltages!!) plays Crysis etc no probs.
But i want to OC the CPU to a "stable" amount..(no living on the edge here I'm afraid)Can anyone suggest a run through of Bios settings for my MB and the order i should do them in and which programme to check core temps etc..At the moment i use uGuru (Which gives me the BSOD if i try to change it from anything other than default ) and my CPU temp at idle is 24C after playing a game my temps were (according to uGuru) Cpu 28C/Sys 30C/PWN ? 52C is that normal?
Any advice would be appreciated, i am willing to learn but dont want to run before i can walk..
