hi all,

so ok i have my new groovy system and i would like to overclock my cpu from 2.8Ghz to around the 3.4Ghz mark...

I know in the bios i have CPU level up but ive done that and well im not sure its worked...

why u ask?

well because it increased it to 3.4Ghz all well and good and on the post it says...

Processor: Intel i7 860 2.8Ghz
Speed: 3.4Ghz

So that looks ok until i go into windows control panel and click system and it simply states...

Intel i7 860 2.8Ghz @ 2.8Ghz...

your comments please :D
 
whoops i forgot to ask is there any decent software i can use to do my overclocking? or is it best to stick to the bios on my board ?

thanks again
 
go on ur BIOS and go to CPU LEVEL UP.... then simply change the cpu to whatever u want... i think the option are like... 2.8 3.0 and 3.4 ghz. i simply went for 3.4ghz my machine is water cooled aswel.

message me if u have any probs

thanks for reading
 
i am in the same boat as you are i would like to know how to get mine to oc to 4ghz is it possiable on the h50? anyone got some settings to try out,i know that we cant have the same volts ect but something nice to work with and get started sorry for hijacking the thread but as im in the same boat i might as well follow along.

ps i found these settings on the net same setup as me would these be a good starting point for us only differance the op has is the ram from mine hope this will help us all.

What settings are they for rick?
Click to expand...

these are for the same setup as mine maximus 3 and i7 860 chip,i have not yet tried them but found them on the net and seems fairly good one from what i read you will have to adjust the volts to your cpu but should be a good start,thanks for the heads up on the LLC will try that as well.;)
