Post Your Overclock!

I think it's a fluke from CoreTemp, look at the CPU it has listed.

Yeah, that is weird. Gary, btw, 72 degrees is a little on the warm side for your OC. I'm at 4.5 with a 1.32volt and I dont get out of the 60's for a 24hr run of Prime95.

I think IBT wrings it out a lot harder and this is a temporary, smaller cooler. I run lower with Prime as well.

So, what do you think about wattage? It passed the whole test. I got a temporary cooler, Hyper TX-3, and its doing better than Intel's, still runs hot though, better cooler on the way.

The ridiculous reading lasted only a few seconds and went to normal, 55-65 range.

No wonder your temps are high.

So, I decided to run mine.
System Idle up-time; approximately 1 hour
Ambient Temp; approx 25.5 degrees Celsius




Gary, you are 100% correct. You taught me something today. I did not know that IBT ran the CPU hotter.

Steve showed me a coupla months ago. As there documentation says, It will bring any CPU to its knees. If you can pass IBT at least at standard you are likely stable. If you want to fry some burgers, try Maximum, I get up to 82 once.

Having said that, both tests are valid, they stress the CPU in different ways, Prime of course is doing equations. IBT does too but many more thousands per second, I think.

@Kellymac, good one there.

But, we build computers as our big boy toys. Pray tell me what good a toy is if you can't play with it.

If we just wanted a "PC" - then we would go out and buy a pre-built.

Is that with HT on? Nice. Mine need 1.362 just for 4.0Ghz + HT

James7679 said:

@ gary, that was on maximum.

Ohhh, ya gotta read the darn thing.

Finally got to 4.8GHz. Not a bad result considering I'm on air...





CPU-Z

Load temps increase ~10c from 4.5 to 4.8GHz so I've gone back to 4.5GHz for daily use
