I have a very basic question here, so:

Im running my E4300 at 230x9, about 2 ghz. I ask you abot stability testing, it seems really pointless to run 12 hours of orthos everytime I raise the FSB? I think I should use SmallFFT to about 2.8Ghz and then start using the 12 hour orthos? Or should I max the OC first and do 12 hours last to make sure final stability?

For how long should I run SmallFFT to get a view on is it safe? Im sorry f my english it ain´t perfect but hope you understand and can help me :)

Thanks, Yar


edit: nvm my 3ghz in the sig.. its "to come" :D

Also, are my temps ok? The abovementioned OC with stock volts I am 66 degrees under load (orthos). This seems way too high for a 15% overclock! I use the stock HSF but i still think the temps should be lower.. Any help is appreciated. I just ordered the Noctua NH-U12F, and i seriously hope it will drop my load temps with atleast 10 degrees celsius

Oh one more thing. My CPU seems to underclock itself when not under load!
When running orthos CPUZ gives correct readings (235x9) but when i stop Orthos it reverts to somthing like 235x6! What is the cause of this?

Now when I raised FSB to 240 the computer restarted itself like 5 times after i saved and quit bios and reset the OC so its stock again? :confused:
Im really confused right now.. TAT and coretemp says my CPU is at 54 idle and Bios says its 32..

Yeah I got it to work by cranking it all up to 300 FSB.. Works like a dream now! Amazing that it didnt boot properly with 240 :eek: Well it´s stable at 2,7 Ghz now at stock volts, Im gonna push it to 3Ghz today. Thanks so much HangTime :)
