Hi guys, built my new rig:
Corsair HX 850W
Asus P8Z68-V PRO
i7-2600K
Noctua NH-D14
G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 8,8,8,24
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB
Corsair Force GT 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s
Doing my first bit of overclocking and i'm completely new to SB.
All I have changed is the multi to 44 from 34, set manual cpu volts to 1.280, prime95 for half an hour, seems stable... unsure about these temps :S
Should there be anything else I can be playing with in the bios to reduce my temps? Should I reseat my heatsink? my cpu fans are only running at around 900rpm because they are only 3-pin non-pwm fans and I can't seem to control them with my mobo? ... i'm using the stock noctua TIM that comes with the NH-D14. Rig is well cooled with a Silverstone FT02 ( 3x 180mm AP fans pushing air upwards, 1 chassis fan pulling at rear (top) of case.
I'm also seeing persistant lockups of 20-30 seconds every hour or 2, which I believe is related to the SSD, no BSODs, but comp becomes unusable for this time and then unfreezes itself. I will deal with this when my OC is stable, probably a firmware update and a controller change might help?
Any suggestions or should I be happy with this setup?
