Hello i had my i5 760 to 3.51 now its at 3.60...do you reckon i can push it even more..or is this a safe speed?

multi is at 18.0.

bus speed is 200.

core volt is 1.224v

or is there a guide anywhere i can follow? to get it up a norch.
 
What are your temps like?

Using an H50 I'm at 68~ load across 4 cores (-4 degree variance between coolest-hottest), 1.35v @ 3.8ghz. 4ghz was pushing it a bit, but that was before I switched cases and put another fan on the H50 for a push/pull. I think I'd be able to comfortable get 4ghz again now at 1.4v without heat concerns.

The 760 scales well, but the last 200mhz to 4ghz needed quite a voltage jump to get there.
 
well still doing a stress test as we speak..doing it for an hour


..all i did was played with the cpu..nothing else...temps are 56, 55, 56 on stress. cpu vcore 1.22 1.21 1.23


OHh i have a NZXT tempest king air flow..

Loads of room left, I'd back your BLCK down, up your multi and start clocking it up again. I reckon you'll hit 3.8-4ghz relatively easily. :)
 
BCLK = "Base Clock" = what you've called "bus speed".

There's not much point in lowering your CPU multiplier and raising your BCLK (which I assume you did just so your RAM speed matches what it's rated for). Change from 200x18 to something like 180x21 (for 3.8 GHz) and then try raising the BCLK from there until you hit a temp or voltage wall.

What program are you using to read your CPU temps by the way? Only Real Temp and Core Temp are considered accurate.
 
If your mobo can support a 200 BCLK - jolly good. Nice round number that gets RAM and everything else also running at nice round numbers :). My 4GHz is 200x20. Some need to use something like 191x21 if their mobo wont manage the 200 BCLK. My full settings fyi...

bclk 200
cpu multi 20
mem multi x8
qpi ratio x32
pci clock 100
ram 9 9 9 24 (XMP disabled, mem setup manual with performance enhance 'turbo')

vcore 1.375 in BIOS (CPUZ shows 1.36 at idle and 1.392 load with LLC on level 2)
qpi vtt 1.3
pch 1.1
cpu pll 1.9
ram 1.66

cpu and pci clock drive both 900mv

turbo boost, EIST, C states etc all off.
 
im using cpu-z stuff like cpuid hardware moniter.

yes everytime i do 200x20 then do a stres stest my pc crashes...blue screens on me...

Probably just need more volts!:) What are your qpi/vtt volts (might be called IMC or something depending on your mobo - what mobo you got? What RAM you got and what settings?

EDIT: never mind - just noticed your sig.
 
have OCZ gold 1600mhz 4GB dual channel..just had to make the memory speed to 1600 in bios, as it was a different setting when i first put them in, part from that i did nothing else to them.

P7P55 LX Intel P55 Express
 
well got it to 3.70..happy so fare..nearlly 30 mins of stress test and no crashes yet..


multi 20
bus 185

tryed 190 it just does me a blue screen.

Yeah my chip was the same. A bit of a "hump" between 3.9ghz and 4.0ghz which required a lot of voltage to pass. 100mhz makes sod all difference, so I left it on 3.9ghz.
