Tommy you can go ahead and try the MSI utility, if you BSOD reboot and start over. Those of us who over clock probably have more BSOD's than anyone. I understand it is possible to save a profile in the Oc utility and have it load with Windows when needed.
I think ill pass i dont want to risk what decent stability i have just something to think about was all thanks though im gonna dump it
It actually helps looking at the cpu pll which would help me stablize the v-core but so far the same result which means im just gonna leave it on auto seems i can't find a good spot for it not to make the core droop

just a quick question if u dont mind, ive just installed my new ram so started over with all my settings.
i have my cpu/nb at 2400 and cpu/nb voltage at 1.256v even while idle the voltage will rise to 1.263/1.270v
now i know that it raises under load and so on. am i better off raising it a tad more to lock it iin or leave it as is?
i think give it another nudge. right or wrong? as always any help is always apreciated
Looks very good! Welcome to the Darkside.
I used to have all AMD rigs as well at one point, and remember when switching to Intel having somewhat the experience you did.
I remember thinking everything felt smoother and quicker. I thought perhaps it was just me expecting it to be though :)
Been pleased with my Intel builds since, although going back to AMD is not out of the question if they start coming out with some really good stuff again.
They have, sadly, been falling behind latelyWhich I truly hate to see.
Competition is good!

I used to run all intel all the time nothing wrong with change
I am going from Intel to AMD vis verca only thing that kinda turned me off of intel is the heat they give out too much heat machine shuts down everytime go to the point cleaning and cooling just wasn't cutting it
After that I added a new card and bam whole thing went dead that is when i decided to build AMD cheaper and got me going with out too much out of my pocket
maybe that is why im still on the wagon lol
In the future I will probally get another intel rig with stuff comming out so fast I would be cursing myself to run to ivy bridge / I think in another year i can see myself getting a Intel rig together
Simply because i have the money to waste on it and not because of budget
Hiya, I would have left all settings the same as with the old RAM but made the adjustments to get the new RAM to stock specs. try to keep the HT Link near 2000, the higher the NB frequency the better without crashing. I think tw33k had his NB up to 3000 at one time.ello chaps

he settings are the same as b4, i just entered em manually. b4 i only had my cpu/nb at 2200(stock) because it just kept crashing b4 when i raised it because i was'nt giving it enough voltage but its ok now at 2400 which is where im gonna leave it.i just wondered if it was better for the cpu's stability to give the cpu/nb voltage a nudge to keep it at a steady number or let it switch under load. from 1.256 to 1.280 ingame. its ibt stable.
HT link is on auto i think but will set it at 2000 anyway. i had forgot to be honest
cheers
Ivy chips do get pretty hot. @ 4.7GHz the cores average ~80c (the hottest hits 90c max) I haven't tried 4.8GHz yet and don't know if I will. My Phanteks can only take so much and I'm not keen (yet) on liquid coolingI used to run all intel all the time nothing wrong with change

With Intel Chips, I like to see where a OC will stay between 65-70C under Prime stress.
I know many will go a bit warmer, but for me 65-70 under Prime or IBT is the sweet spot for a 24/7 OC.
I haven't researched much into IB, but do they run warmer than Sandy chips do? I know Intels do seem to run hot vs many of AMDs offerings, but its seems to be the norm.
Wishmaster, IB does run warmer. I had one and it ran 5-6C warmer than SB. That was during IBT. They require much lower voltage though. During normal operation and Gaming, the temps were the same as I get from my 2600K. They do have a higher TJmax (105) than SB. So, even though they will run warmer, the distance to TJmax is the same.
