New To Overclocking help!

[Solarstarshines]

Also I forgot to mention check if your board has APS Active phase switching that would stop some of the voltage drop if you were to oc

ill look next time i reboot.

 

[Quadrider10]

so final verdict. if i set the CPU to 4.5ghz WITH a new PSU, do you think everything will be fine and not blow up? obvisiously im going to need another CPU cooler too.

also i do not have APS. and i CAN change my FSB.

Ok with that being said then a mild oc @ 4.5 ghz should be obtainable I would recommend getting a closed water loop with high sp fans that will keep your cpu to good levels and
also get better fans all around it does make a difference I know you like the one you have mounted but it has to go for something that can get your heat out quickly the cheapy fans just won't do

wait.... the SS you posted, the guy said that the max voltage was 1.5V, mine goes up to 2.5V in bios.

also i might also shoot for a 4.2-4.3GHZ instead..maybe 4.4ghz.

YOU GUYS ARE SCARING ME! lol

also i found 2 coolers. Coolermaster hyper 212 Pro or hyper 212 EVO

which one? is the EVO worth the extra $10?

 

[Solarstarshines]

The EVO is the better of the two but pretty big from what I heard and you will need to remove the backplate from the MB in order to install it

That depends on what Bios version you are using they could have fixed your version vs his because I know the Bios I had sucked and Bungee another forum member had the same board and came to the same conclusions the bios is nerfed maybe you are still running a older one who knows I just know the high end board I had sucked

 

[Quadrider10]

I upgraded the bios to the latest version.

sounds like they heard the people fixed it

ohh lol idk i kinda like it. looks cool. and for a regular user (me) it works. im in no means a extreme user. those boards are meant to target people like me. cheap, has some advanced features, and minor OC. which is what i was looking into exactly.

but my cpu is 95tdp. not 125. also whats a VRM?

The VRM is the Voltage Regulator Module. It's responsible for regulating the voltage going to the CPU.

gotcha! thanks!

yea so after you guyts started to scare me, im thinking just OC between 4.2-4.4 ghz depending on temps.

PSU and ODD are going to be on my next order. probs in 2 weeks. i need to replenish my bank account! and the fact that i just got a debit card thats attached to my paypal account dosent help! lol


BTW, playing FC3 for about 3hrs, CPU got to 54C max. thats without an intake fan. that should be comming in the mail tuesday!
