Some of you may have seen many threads by me regarding CPU OCing, but after a bit, I had removed it. Now I want to OC again, to try and maybe get a BIT more from BF3. Even if its 1FPS, its going to be worth it.
I'm using the system you see in my sig, with stock cooling. Last time I had gone up to 2.9GHz, but lack of actual playing time made me put it back to 2.5. I've put it back to 2.9, and 4 1/2 hours of Prime and its stable. Last time, I don't think I played too much with the VCore Voltage, and now I'm asking myself if I should maybe alter that.
Atm, VCore is set to 1.28V according to CPU-Z, which from what I read, is a good amount. Do you think putting it to 1.35V (which from what I read, is still a good VCore, but can get a bit more power out of CPU) will let me push to at least 3GHz, which is my target.
Should get a good gaming PC in a year, so if the 20 year life is shortened to 10 because of it, no worries
I'm running on air btw, but temps on RealTemp are 65 and 63 at max (whilst Prime 95).
Opinions please
yeah, know, its a bad mobo for OCing, and a bad CPU, but as I said, will upgrade next year, as funds are tight now.
