You're working too hard ^_^

*opens TurboV EVO*

*locks voltage at stock*

*turns on auto tuning*

Asus Maximus III GENE mobo for the win

3.6 is pretty decent on stock volts if its stable.

My mobo seems to consider 1.15 as stock volts for my 750. Hmm.

Yes i left it on auto volts and temps went inot the 80s so i set voltage manually at 1.30 and it seems to be ok

To be honest tho i think i'll just run it day to day at 3.6Ghz

I've not run prime as I need advice as to the settings, but I got 4.2Ghz on stock cooler earlier. I've not try to push it further and I won't until I get a premium cooler.
