i7 2600k Multiplier is at 39X

...so chip is a tad under 4.00Ghz.

I have done nothing else other than up the multiplier and I am at about 62C on Prime 95 blended. Is that temp OK? I could increase the fan speed on the CPU cooler a bit more but want to find balance between noise and cooling.

What to try next please to get up to 4.5Ghz where I will be happy at.... ??

Thanks, KS

Set volts at 1.35v and multiplier to 46, that should give you a stable overclock of 4.6Ghz.

As someone who's never overclocked (waiting on my new IB), they seem to have made the whole process much easier if that's all you need to do...

I guess i shouldn't complain though.

OK - so I increased the multiplier to x43. Not touched voltages. Seems OK still. Will see how it goes for a day or two and then will up it to x46, still on stock voltage.
