First time OCing :)

Hey everyone..

Now that I've got my kit and plugged everything together im ready to try overclocking for real

.

My kit looks like this..

MB: MSI P67A-C45 Intel P67
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz
Gfx: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
Ram: GeIL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS DC
Drive: LiteOn iHBS112 12x BluRay-RW 16 x DVD±RW Drive
Hdd: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB Sata
PSU: BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W Power Supply
Tower: Coolermaster Elite 430 Windowed Case - Black
CPU Cooler: Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler

Ive already read a lot of oc guides and also got it working okay but got some questions still.

I've got some weird beep sounds when I start the computer. Like: "Beep -- beep beep beep beep -- Beep"
Something like that.

But to my other questions
What programs do you use for stability test?
How much power are you throwing at the Vcore and what temps + cooling are you using as well..

When im using prime95 I can get the temp to nearly 80

..

Ive been reading around now and it seems im having a bit high temps compared to a lot of the other ppl..
Real temp : 70 - 80 - 83- 75
Been running prime95, In-place large fft, 8 torturse test to run. It has been running in around 1 hour now..

CPU Ratio x 46
Baseclock x 100
Vcore - 1.3100
PCH 1.050
Dram Vol 1.64467

Is the CPU fan running at full whack in the BIOS setting?

Temps do seem high on your setup, i'm using a similar cooler (Titan Fenrir) and get 55-60degs @ 4.6Ghz on the i25000k.

Maybe worth taking the cooler off and re-applying the thermal paste and re-seating it?

Yeah sys fan 1+2 at 100%.. And I can see the cpu fan speed is at ~1800RPM all the time.. In the bios the cpu is @~50C :s..

I've just tried reseating the cooler but seems I've have to try buy another tube of thermal paste and reseat again..

Btw have 2 fans on the cooler as well.. One throwing and one sucking..

Hey everyone..
Now I bought some new thermal paste and cleaned the cpu and cooler off and added the new stuff to check temps..
But now when I start the computer, does this happen:

Starts on and all coolers are running but I dont get anything on my monitor (black screen), and I do not either get beeps or post :s

Reset the Cmos, check that you have not dislodged and cards or connections. Check your memory is properly seated.

Already tried resetting cmos with, battery, button and the switch..
Checked the cpu was seated right, ram, gfx card and all the power sticks :s..
