Hello all, or to be specific 8pack.
I phoned up earlier today because im getting ridiculous temps at stock on my 3570k and was told to post here and ask 8pack for advice.
I'm attempting to overclock my system but having woes like ya wont believe. I have watched the youtube vid that was posted in this thread I started http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23953955#post23953955 but not done any overclock yet. OCCT (4.3.2) runs alongside cpu-z (1.63.0) but only 1 core is at 3403 Mhz. The other 3 are at 100, 324 and 405 Mhz respectively and do not move. Core voltage is at 0.960v at idle and between 1.056 and 1.096 v at load, but temps hit 81 degrees. When turbo mode is set to on in the BIOS it's set to 3.8 (default???) OCCT runs for a maximum of 39 seconds before it stops running as the temp hits 87 degrees. Nothing, and I really do mean nothing else has been altered apart from AHCI turned on and onboard audio and video turned off. Cooling is with a h60 with 2 Apache fans set to push/pull. The pump is connected to the cpu fan header and the apache fans are plugged into the sys_fan2 and sys_fan4 headers but the fans don't seem to push out much air at all, in fact my powersupply 80mm outlet fan pushes out more air when I put my hand at the back of it and so does my spotcool 80mm fan on low power. I have looked on t'internet for clues on how to setup the h60 correctly (which header etc) but can only find that the pump goes into the cpu_fan header. How dya speed up the fans as ive tried various settings with slope pwm from .75 up to 2.50 and there is no difference in speed. Am I missing something blindingly obvious or not. I hope I can get this resolved.
And it still takes 13 seconds from when the power button is pressed to the beep. grrrrrr
I do realise the h60 isn't exactly a top banana cooler but its only there until I get a new case so I can put this under water (3d aurora cases are not built for water cooling unfortunately) but still.....I do expect it to not get stupid temps like im getting.
TIA
