Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards

Almost forgot Steve's pic

Thanks Kelly, I may be contacting you pretty soon. Right now I'm using Windows Home server 2011. There's a lot I don't like about it, but it is primarially a media server to me, and works pretty well for that.

Nice job, Doug. Great overclock. I especially like the voltage. Turn your power plan to balanced and you will see the real voltage. Don't ask why it works that way, I don't know but it does.

Installed the new cpu, it runs great

That is awesome Doug! What are the voltage/temps under load?

I have it set to auto right now. Dropped it back down to 4.2 so I can look at voltages and test before I try keeping it there. Temps are mid 30's to 42 on the last core

Edit Just read Steve's post, will give that a go probably tomorrow

4.5 should be a piece of cake for that CPU. That's what I run mine at 24/7. I could go higher but what's the point?

I would start out with IntelBurnTest before you waste a bunch of hours validating anything. It will get HOT for sure, but if it will pass that, there is a good chance it will pass 12+ hours of Prime95 or AIDA64. My CPU(according to RealTemp and CoreTemp) gets to 70-75*C while it is under load with IBT and that is totally fine.

Here is how you should set IBT up......I think it is this way by default, but I don't remember. Times to Run-->10+(self explanatory), Stress Level-->Standard or higher(tests with varying amounts of RAM and will take longer the more it uses) and Threads-->All.

Thanks Kelly, I have it @4.2 and ran IBT 10 times on standard it did get pretty hot up in the 90's

Thanks Kelly, good info there!

Doug, keep cpuz open while you are running it so you can see the voltage. Kelly is right, on auto is like saying take all the voltage you want. It will run on much less. That's the trick, get it to run at the frequency you want on as little voltage as possible. Voltage=heat.
