I bet you are mate, I couldn't cope with the type's of heat you get there.
We're lucky when it comes to overclocking in the summer. Some of the mod's i've seen people post while trying to bring down cpu temps in Mexico,Spain and so on is mad. I just wouldn't bother lol, Too much stress.
Someone that posted in another forum had botched the copper plate off a Noctua cooler to the back of their cpu socket in an effort to bring down temp's. It did work slightly.
If you need any help with that, I'd be glad to help. I have an excellent guide and first hand experience.
Required reading for IB and Asus boards: Ivy Bridge Overclocking Guide
It's down and dirty, but can help get you on your way. If trying something new, don't forget to set the BIOS back to factory default and then SAVE and exit. Also, what BIOS did it come with and have you flashed it yet?
Hey guys I moved the Overclocking over here I don't want to soil the other Thread with post of Overclocking values
Anyway I think I got it to run at the lowest voltage possible and no crashes I feel I can run prime for a while and it will be stable here I have one core that worries me it gets to 86c
that is too much for me to handle and even though I dropped the voltage so low I think that core will just be the bad guy in my bunch
he is hot no matter what I do but i am satisfied thus far my voltages seems with in law so what do you guys think did I do alright overclocking my first Intel I7-Rig
@Kelly my Bios is 1805 I looked around and saw what the other updated one's did they weren't special
