OC Help

This CPU requires a LOT LESS voltage to get the same OC! im almost at stock voltage at 4.4ghz! thats awesome!

Good news then. You should be able to make it to 5.5ghz like me before you fry this one then lol

lol I probs can, but I aint tryin it! im sure I can run a 4.8 for Daily however.

A wise move, just stick with 4.4, you should be safe there.

I'm no overclocker anyway really, as long as my rig does what I want it to (which hopefully this one will for a while yet) I'm happy. When it doesn't I may have a dabble, but more than likely I'll just upgrade the CPU. I am tempted to have a go on my AMD rig though just to see if I've got the minerals.

im at 4.4 on stock voltage 100% stable that's awesome!

but ya I figured that the difference between 4.4 and 4.6 is maybe 2fps or so in CPU intensive games, so if need be, ill just go up to 4.5 or 4.6 as time goes on and games get more intensive. but I have a power plan set up for everyday use. its only clocked currently at 3.1ghz. I just change it to 4.4 when I play games or render a video

Sounds like the N00berG00ber is sorted then! See I told you the motherboard was fine. Remember I am always right, except where my missus is concerned and then I am always wrong

Happy gaming.

Maybe the instructions will tell you "Do Not OC this CPU"

So it continues

So basically you can fry the shat out of your CPU on purpose and get a brand new one for nothing? I'm going to try and get 7.0GHz on my A10-5800k on air!

I will be sure to look for a beam a light coming from your home into the sky because that would be Nuclear

Good news NoobGoob, glad you are up and running again
