I've found the max on my overclock now, it's 4 hours stable on Orthos which I think is acceptable. My question is if I push it a bit further (say 100Mhz ish on CPU), will it be unstable in general tasks: gaming, browsing etc. I ask cos I would have thought Orthos is an extreme test that pushes it right to the limit which wouldn't be reached during everyday tasks. Cheers.
Stable now. Push further?

ive got my [email protected] and it works as it should, no problems in any application or game. as long as it's a stable overclock then it's all good.
Thats a sweet clock devablue, what volts/temps you got? The main problem I have is my PSU is underpowered so doesn't give stable volts, I set the vcore to 1.45 in the bios and it stays at this when idle/light work but as soon as some strain is put on it drops to 1.39 and I dont really wanna go much higher than 1.45 volts.devablue said:
If I clock it further how long would I have to play a game or whatever before it starts messing up? Surely it would take hours and hours of gameplay?
Please excuse my noobiness, but how can you get into the BIOS when under load? I thought you could only do it from startup?Cob said:
My temps are 52C after 2 hrs in Orthos (using coretemp).
So does the increase in voltage not actually 'damage' components, its just the temperature increase that the voltage increase causes? Or is 1.5v safe full stop? Sorry for all the questions but thanks for the help.
