First overclock attempt

[Andy298]

Been reading up on overclocking for a while now and finally thought I'd give it ago. Managed to get it up to 2.2Ghz from 2.0Ghz.

Running 166 divider with multi of 10. I'm on standard HSF but should be getting Scythe Ninja Plus sometime this week.
I've ran Prime for about 1 hour just to see CPU temp under load. Was around 40 - 42ºC. Also wanted to know what sort of torture tests I should be running on Prime, not quite sure? I know I should be running Prime for at least 24 hours anyway. Should I have my command rate on 1T also?
Don't be fooled by the MB tool also. I've done all my OC'ing in the BIOS. Only reason I have that is to match the volts and temps with CPUZ and Speedfan

Welcome to the fourms mate

nice go for a bit more should be fine your tems are really low

Thanks KG
Tried Prime last night, but it failed after 2 hours. Can't remember the exact error? Was something like 0.4 epected 0.5
Upped the voltage anyway to 1.450 and it now seems stable. Temps still at 40 - 42 and Prime has been running for about 8 hours.

another one bites the oc'ing bug.

haha lol! Tell me about it! I'm already trying to plan some of my next rig for when Conroe is released. Might have to put in the overtime at work to feed the habbit!!
