I have just done my first overclock. I managed to get 4.6 MHz. Anything over 4.6 gives me stability problems.
As this is my first ever overclock would somebody mind checking my BIOS settings and temps are ok.
So far I have done/checked
I have kept memory timings at default
5 runs of Intel Burn test with stress level at maximum and threads on auto.
Ran Prime95 with Blend without errors for 2 hours so far
My Specs are
Windows 7 64bit
Asus P8P67 Pro
i7 2600k
Megahalems rev B cooler
2x4GB g.skill rpjawx
GTX 580
GTS 450 (for Physx)
Asus Xonar D2X
1TB WD
Blu ray writer
DVD writer
800w Slient Pro Gold
BIOS settings
Target CPU turbo mode speed : 4600 MHz
Target DRAM speed : 1333 MHz
AI overclocker tuner = Manual
BCLK/PEG frequency = 100.0
Turbo ratio = by all cores and can adjust on OS set to multiplier of 46
Internal PLL overvoltage = Disabled
Memory frequency = auto
EPU power saving mode = disabled
DIGI + VRM
Load line calibration = high
VRM frequency = auto
VRM spread spectrum = disabled
Phase control = standard
Duty control = T.probe
CPU current capability = 100%
CPU voltage = manual mode
CPU manual voltage = 1.350
VCCSA voltage = 0.90000
VCCI0 voltage = 1.00000
CPU PLL voltage = auto
PCH voltage = auto
CPU spread spectrum = auto
Idle temps
Temps after about 2 hours of Prime95 with blend
