Is this normal?

Hi All,

I've done a modest OC from 2.66 to 3.20. Bclk to 160 on a x20 multiplier. Memory (XMP) x10. IOH volts to 1.3v and CPU reducing to 1.25v. Running OCCT for a few mins on large data set I'm getting temps in the mid 80's which isn't good.

Can anyone tell me what I should try next to keep the temps down (CPU voltage?)

TIA
DK

Thanks.
i7 920 2.66 CPU, GB EX58-UDR3 r1.0 mobo, 6GB Corsair 1600 XMP RAM, Zalman fan with huge copper heatsink, Coolermaster tower case, Nvidia GTX470 GPU.

I'd like to get as close to 3.7ghz as possible.

I gave everything a good vacuum and that helped bring the temps down a touch to the mid 70's. I pushed the bclk and had to reduce the ram mult to x8 and Windows BSOD during the OCCT test (about 10 seconds in). It appears most of the BSOD's I get are memory related. Should I try and keep ram mult to get 1600 and reduce the cpu mult?

do you mean cpu voltage set to auto? When you say 'what it uses in the bios' what do you mean?

You want me to do this with the OC settings I have at the moment?

darrenkarp · 15 Sep 2013 at 21:02

Done that. Vcore is at 1.248v

What is dvid and what are we doing here. Reducing the temps and / or allowing me to OC more than 3.2ghz?

darrenkarp · 15 Sep 2013 at 21:31

that increased the temps during OCCT to mid 80's. What to try next? I couldn't find anything on C1E.

My idle temps are fine. It's just when I OCCT test they go potentially crazy.

If I can get a water cooler that will allow me to be stable at 3.4 - 3.6 I'd be happy. My case doesn't allow anything larger than a single 120mm fan unless the radiator can be external (preferred)
