Post Your Overclock!

[sygnus21]

Well after many tries I finally got something I like what do yall think? I also got around to doing my GPU.

I know temps are a lot higher then I wanted myself I was looking for about 55 but I know I will never push my CPU this high.

I ordered some new parts last night...

ASUS P8P67 PRO LGA 1155 Intel P67
(Newegg.com - ASUS P8P67 PRO LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard)

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
(Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
(Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K)

Going to benchmark and OC after I get it all setup. This will also be water cooled

Yup finally figured it out.

Nice

Don't forget to post pic as well.

I did didnt i?

Well here is another pic after i ran LinX again selecting all mem insteal of 768.

Nice

Don't forget to post pic as well.

I will make sure to do that this time

Going to be one hell of a build!

I'm waiting to see what comes out for the socket 1366 chipset replacement for the i7-900 series but I gotta say that i7-2600K looks mighty tempting on a Gigabyte board

So was I. But even the 1155 socket and potential clock speeds makes it look very appealing. My storage PC breathed it's last sigh the other day and this current build is a year old after all...

LOL I just picked up a i7-950 a few weeks ago.... but the force is strong with that 2600K system - Luke, you must resist :shock:

Man the price is so so tempting :banghead:

 

[smarteyeball]

Ha ha - that's usually the way. I built a strong 775 system 2 weeks before the release of 1366


Resist mate - you are at least in a very good position to wait for the invariable revisions, price drops and end-user feedback etc

Your i7-750 and my system are still by no means slouches of any kind whatsoever.

Figuratively and literally, we can afford to wait - hell, I'm even keeping my 5970 until it's 1st birthday*




Damn you temptation. :roflmao:

But.... that 2600K..... it.... looks so.... good.... and the performance..... wow! :shock:

But you're right. And trust me, cooler heads will prevail as there's no way I can justify a new system on top of my less than year old i7-950 system

Still, that 2600K is quite impressive....

hell, I'm even keeping my 5970 until it's 1st birthday*

Well I have a birthday coming up in a few weeks and decided I'm going to treat myself to a 6950 to replace my aging 4890

Thus the battle between wants and needs

Looks really good, 60 is not bad for that frequency, like you mentioned it won't be cranked up that often.

That RAM has a JEDEC #4 that's higher than the XMP, at a lower voltage, don't see that too often.

 

[kurahk7]

I was just looking at the first post and noticed that GPU-Z's link should be updated to the v0.5.0.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I was hoping people could comment on my modest OC. I seems very stable and I'm sure I can push it more in time as I continue to learn. Please offer thoughts and ideas. If you run a 965 then please let me know what you've found to be a good setting combo. My system spec's are complete below ! Cheers, the Cheese

Well, I don't have a quad-core, currently running a dual-core 5400+ (2.8 OC to 3.1), but from what friends have told me and from reading up online, the more cores there are the less likely you are to get a decent overclock... So as far as I'm concerned, going from 3.4 to 4.0 with a quad-core sounds damn good to me!

What sort of temps do you get under load? Or are those under load...?

Not sure if you already have it, but OCCT's CPU stress test generates a couple graphs at the end of the test that show your speed in MHz, temps and power consumption for the duration of the test. You might want to check it out..

 

[linnemeyerhere]

ZaLith,
The posting above was at idle. Normally the CPU will only gain 5-6 degrees when pushed but I will load a good stress program and give it a run or two to see how the cooling holds.

 

[yeroman]

I've reaaaaally wanted to overclock my rig.. But I just don't know how.. Anybody knows a website where I can teach myself to overclock?

Here's a couple to get you started.

I vaguely remember seeing that thread a long time back, but I never got to save the link... Don't think I ever actually finished reading it. Lol.


Edit: I think I just realised why I didn't ever finish it, most of that thread is aimed at overclocking Intel systems, not AMD... But still, there are tips there that will help regardless of the CPU choice.

 

[Dave76]

If you check some of these same sites listed above they have AMD OC guides and forums
