My 1st bash at overclocking. Ok?

Hi all, got new pc last week, i5 2500k on MSI GD65 motherboard.

Was wondering if you guys could check out my 1st attempt at overclocking. I went to 48 on the multiplier and 1.35v plus some other volts changed as I read some Internet guides. Does this look ok?

Thanks

Molly

thats a helluva good 2500K you've got there, whats the ram tho, cos the voltage looks interesting?.

It's xms3 just. Couldn't select 1.65 only that one and 1.652 so I chose the lower one

Hmm almost 3 hours of benchmarking, all seems fine, walk away to make a cuppa and pc just on idle, nothing running. Come back and bsod :confused:

your screen shot in coretemp say's 3299MHz (99x33)

Yeah it always says that regardless of what I set it too. CPU-Z says the ccorrect numbers though.

Bump up the voltage or lower the multi a bit. I had this problem a while back with the same CPU and board. Was fine at load but leave it at idle for a while and bye bye. Upped the VCore to 1.335 for me and now I'm stable 24/7, seems I have a rather good chip though.

CoreTemp always does this with SB (on the MSI boards anyway). I tend to use RealTemp now which has a similar issue (reports multi as x0.0) but I find the interface better and it does GPU temp too.

My VCore is 1.35 in my screenshot above, is that to high then maybe? Come down to 1.335? I will try realtemp out.
