iv built a few pcs over the years but never tried to overclock anything heres what iv got now

gigabyte p55 ud5 1156 mobo
4 gig corsair xms3 1600 mhz cas8 ram
corsair h50 watercooler
i5 750 cpu 2.66ghz
powercolor h5770 gfx card

iv set the ram clock and voltage manually in the bios auto set it to 1.5v (should be 1.65) and 1333 mhz thats now set to 1.66v and 1600 mhz

the cpu has been clocked in the bios to 3.2 ghz
bus speed is 160 and multiplier is 20

gfx card runs at 875 stock iv gone upto 900 and 1300 mem clock

iv got prime95 but dont really know how to use it i did torture test for 10 mins cpu runs flat out temps seemed to stabilize at 40-43 degs
heres a screenshot after the test

is that setup ok??
im a noob as far as overclocking goes so any advice is welcome

1 question iv got is what is temp3/tmpin2 and why the hell is it 88 degs on idle????

ps after 1 hour of gaming the gfx card was just touching 50 degs is that ok?

thanks for the reply the 88 degs is on idle its showing it now iv not long turned pc on and not touched a game

v just restarted the pc and the temp has dropped to 16 degs and seems stable at that could it have been a slightly dodgy reading?

iv just run torture test for 1 hour and the cores never went higher than 44-47 degs at 3.2 ghz does that tell me anything?

pzr vr6 · 7 Jan 2010 at 21:34

oh a did auto tune on the gfx card and it went for 950 gpu clock! and 1270 mem clock what do you think of them?

how do i overclock the procesor and what are safe temps to run it at?

thanks for the info i can only see furmark for 32 bit os im using 64 bit win7 is there a suitable version?

pzr vr6 · 11 Jan 2010 at 21:14

im running the cpu at 4 ghz it seems perfectly stable and the highest temps its been to is low 50s
i havnt touched the voltage its at 1.328 should i leave it at that or do i need to change it?
