Core i5 750 - OC Results.
I'm a bit new to OCing (the last OC I did was in 2000 with an intel celeron from 400mhz to 1.0ghz) and this is my first "i5" OC. I am quite happy with the results and hope that maybe some people in this forum can help me with ideas to get a bit more out of this chip.
I went from the factor 2.66GHz to 3.80GHz.
The only things I really did in the bios I got from other forums / videos from youtube.
I used a bus speed of 190 and a multiplier of 20x to get my 3.80GHz.
I ran Prime95 Torture test for 14 Hrs and received no errors or warnings.
None of the 4 cores went over 67 C. They stuck around 62-65 C.
My question is why can I not go to 4.0GHz when the temp is well within the operating range? I bumped the buss speed to 200 and it runs prime95 for about 2 minutes, and the temp never gets over 65 after 2 minutes, and core #2 errors out.
I'm also using a Corsair H50 inside my Corsair 800D case. The H50 has 2 fans for push/pull effect. I have the fans bringing in cold air from outside the case like Corsair recommends, and with my case, it does not affect the internal temperature at all. The case handles it quite well.
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
