Thanks Steve, I will dig into my BIOS settings and see.

I run my CPU voltage on "Offset" and "+.015" which gives me a total voltage under load of 1.256-1.264. If I knew anything about MSI motherboards, I could help you more. Best advice I can give you is test using a Manual voltage.......start low and if you get a blue screen or any other hinky crap, bump it up +.005 at a time. Once you get your stable manual voltage, we can figure out an offset for ya. I don't remember exactly what my voltage was at 4.2GHz, but it was under 1.2xx I think........but every motherboard and CPU is different so you can't really go by that.

 

[Dude]

My bios shows increments of .02

I sure wish all the motherboard manufacturers would call everything by the same name. It would make things much easier. From looking at it, my only advice right now is get off of auto core voltage. I do like Kelly, manual voltage at first. Just pick something close and work your way up or down. personally, at 4.2 I would start at Manual voltage of 1.2 and work up or down from there once I saw how a run of IBT or Prime went.

I agree. I think I will play with it for a while, but I am going to get another motherboard, an asus that is higher end and gives more options. This is all part of my master plan. The board I have now and the I5-3330 is going to be another build I am going to make for my wife.

I can't stress the Asus Sabertooth enough

Nice speed Doug, Leaderboards updated. You are nicely into the top 10

Looking good Doug Having fun i hope.

Re streaming to a Samsung smart tv. I find that the Samsung allshare works really. You can also get an Android app called Play to Samsung which works in just the same way but from your mobile phone.
@ Kelly i've not heard of that Plex media server but will look into it. thanks!

 

[kbrady1979]

I used Samsung AllShare at first, but then I found Plex which is far superior to Allshare.

I just registered there and from what i see it has some good features that i was looking for like being able to stream from online too. I may end up pestering you for info

 

[kbrady1979]

If it's OK with Paul, I can post some pics of the Plex app interface in here if you want.

Yeah fire away if you want Kelly.

 

[kbrady1979]

Thanks Paul. Here are some pics showing various parts of the Samsung TV Plex App. You scroll through the interface and just pick what you want, and it integrates with the remote perfectly.




I must admit, I am not a photographer and this was with a cell phone, but you get the gist...

Nice 1 kelly it looks/sounds pretty good so i shall give it a try

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers! will do

Kelly, are those movies you downloaded/streamed or ones you have saved on your hard drive? I have 300+ and counting backed up now, but don't get the graphical interface you have there.

 

[kbrady1979]

Those are some I've ripped, some I've downloaded. I store all TV shows and Movies on my computer and just point Plex Media Server to their location. Almost 7TB total.

I think this is about the highest I can get it on plain air.

Temps are hitting ~75°C on AIDA's stress test.

Also I managed to prove that the RAM will boot at 2000MHz @1.52V, but the system hangs under the slightest load.
You guys think a little more voltage could get the RAM stable at 2000 (base 1600, now OC'ed to 1866 @ 1.510V)?

 

[ganjiry]

Lookig good pillainp Nice oc mate. Gskill are knocking out some decent ram enit especially the Trident series.
