Hello all :)

I am sat here waiting for my order to arrive :D so while I'm waiting I have stripped out my out pc and cleaned the antec case and hung it out to dry on the washing line! (got the idea from belial8321) :D

current set up running out of the box:



Antec 900 drying on the line :)





DPD have said that the delivery will be made between 13:48 and 14:48? :confused: very exact timings for a delivery... but meh.

So when it arrives i shall get building :D and then ofc post pics in this thread... stay tuned ;)

It is 13:48. Can you see the DPD delivery van yet?

yeh he came 8 mins early! :D but due to their stupid delivery thing, he couldnt scan my items until 13:48 so he had to sit around and wait for the right time :(

ridiculous system.

Anyway got it up and running out of the case just to test everything, all seems to be in order atm :D

dw i have taken many pics and have more for when its in the case so be patient and it will come ;)
 
right i promise i will update with pics in a minute... but first.

OVERCLOCKING :D

what is the safest voltage to stick through a 2500k?

currently its got 1.344V going through it and running at 4.5ghz with a blck of 100.6mhz.

Temps are around 30C idle :) havent tested for stability yet

do these settings look alright?
 
1.38V is the limit set by intel. have a look in the CPU section if you dont believe me

waiting a few days for the thermal grease to cure is a very sensible idea IMO

Manually set the BCLK to 100MHz or BAD THINGS(tm) will happen. Check OCUK's guide to overclocking Sandy Bridge for information on why, but essentially altering the BCLK from 100MHz (a) provides marginal increases in clock speed of just a few MHz and (b) is the fastest way to kill a chip.
