rookie overclock query

Redek · 27 Nov 2012 at 05:44

Hi, just wanted a bit of feedback about these stats on my overclock settings. I'm a rookie at this and am a bit concerned with the ram voltage which someone told me was too high.

On an asus pz68 board with a i5 25k;
By all cores; 45
Cpu voltage; 1.224
Dram; 1.671
Using a corsair h60 cooler

Please note, the cpu and ram voltages set themselves automatically after I'd adjusted the multiplier.

I stress tested with prime95 for over an hour and the hottest temp. I got on only one core was 96deg.

Does this look normal and is there anything I need to be careful of?

Thanks!

Cheers appreciate the help.
idle temp was 26 deg. before work I put the multiplier down to 38, but it made no difference to the ram voltage (even after saving and restart). it didnt seem like i could alter it manually, but I ran out of time so Ill take another look later and revert all settings to what they were previously.
it seems ive got to look at this a bit more closely and will be after a none stop work stint that lasts till thursday.
cheers guys

set the multiplier back down to 38 and manually set the ram to 1.35volts. max idel temp is 28deg.

Multiplier - 42
Dram - 1.55
cpu - 1.19 / 1.2

Running intel burn test on very high gives a top temp of 92 - too high right?

The rest of the settings I tweaked in the bios here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23334779#post23334779
