Post Your Overclock!

[Beta]

Did you bump the IMC voltage?
Should be at 1.15v or a little more.

I dont think I did.

Also I posted some pics of my setup.

The Integrated Memory Controller voltage is VTTCPU in your BIOS.

Extreme Tweaker: VTTCPU voltage
Default is 1.10v bump it to 1.15v.
This will help stabilize the RAM.

@ 4.3, not Turbo, offset -0.55
this IBT run completed fine, went to bed and let it run, max temp 68. Not that IBT recognizes the CPU as "i5-2600K", which doesn't exist.

Nice job, Gary.

 

[Britton30]

Thanks! Getting ther with a little help from my friends.

those i7's get some good results dont they
im just oc'ing my fx 6100 now. i know they can go 4,6/4.9 but i dont plan on aiming near those numbers. i'll be happy around 4.0 which seems easy enough. im just upping the multiplier at the moment and am @ x19 with 1.32v on the vcore. havent touched anything else as yet n will see how far it goes on this voltage. @stock with all on auto with the apm and c6 enabled more voltage than is needed is apllied as ive seen it hit 1.4v when it clocks up to 3.6GHz.
ive been running cinebench at each step just for a quick check but will run linX to test for full stability when im done.
anybody have any suggestions on settings i may not know? i havent touched the cpu/nb yet. im only running 1600 mem so will prob be best set @2.2 do u think?
remember im still a novice/noob when it comes to oc but im getting there slowly

EDIT: 4.013 @1.32v, cpu/nb @2200 which is the better program for testing stabilty on these fx cpu's? intel burn test, linX? or does it really not matter?
cheers folks

Good work Gary, nice low voltage and running faster than before

ello folks
heres my first oc since getting my new board n cpu. 4.013 just using the multiplier of 20, 1.32v. cpu/nb 2200. idle temp 34c, load 49c

 

[Britton30]

Looking good ganjiry! I have an i5-2550K, core temp is stupid.IBT, Prime96 will work fine for testing. I think you'd be fine with your Vcore at 1.4V and CPU/NB volts at 1.4

Thanks Steve and Paul.

I keep trying to push my 965 a little harder but it seems it's happiest pushed max to 4.1 and when I get the summer heat I'll have to back off to 4.0. Anyone out there with the same chip have a voltage recommendation, I'm all ears !

 

[Britton30]

Alan, I have one of those which I have let my wife have now. I would make two recommendations.
1. Keep the HT Link as close to 2000 as possible
2. Set the Nb Frequency as hig as your board will allow, better RAM performance.
I had mine up to 4.2GHz at 1.425V.
I also disabled all the C states and Cool'n'Quiet.

i did try 1.4 the other day but it seemed a tad hot. idle was about 40c if i remember rightly. it all seems ok so far although i havent tried bf3 yet which can play up with overclocks. i tske it u think i should up the vcore tho? im not sure what my cpu/nb voltage os at the min. i'll av a look. ive left it at auto as the only settings i changed were the multiplier, vcore, cpu/nb freq and all the usual power saving stuff.
one thing ive just noticed is aida is saying my vcore is dropping to 1.308v every now n then and so is cpu-z. what would be causing this ?

 

[Britton30]

Odd, mine never lower its Vcore like that, but if it works, enjoy it, it'll be cooler. It may be a part of the Cool'n'quiet to keep temp down. yeah I had no issue with Vcore at 1.4 manually set.

 

[david2012]

Hey guys i need help overcloking my core 2 duo e8500 on my MSi G41-p25 mother board i can clock it from 3.16Ghz to 3.24Ghz but then it wont go no more and fails yesterday i managed to get it to 3.25 but for some reason i carnt do it again today i need help because im new to overclocking can somone help me asap please?

thats what confused me as cool n quiet is disabled. i dont want to raise the vcore much as i like my temps around the 35/36c mark and when i tried 1.4v the temp hit 40c.
ive set my vcore to 1.35v and cpu/nb from 1.212 to 1.225. my idle temp is 36/37c so i think i'll keep it there unless i see any signs of instability.
thanks

@david2012
im new to oc myself but no doubt somebody who knows more will be along shortly

 

[david2012]

Hope so becuase i need help with this fast

 

[Solarstarshines]

I changed my settings to achieve a better overclock but still can't stablize at 4.5 ghz

multiplyer 21 FSB 210 1.42 vcore

Ram running at 1680 Mhz might be able to squeeze more :huh:

 

[ganjiry]

still 4.4 is nice chap my DRAM voltage is reading higher in windows than in the bios. in the bios its 1.65v but in windows its 1.667v should i knock it down a tad in the bios or will it be ok as is?
cheers folks

edit: that slight up of the vcore has stopped it from droppin every now n then and it also survived a few hours bf3 with no probs, max temp was 46c ingame

 

[Lava King]

Hi y'all,

Here's the results of my first venture into overclocking. I don't think I'll even try to go higher, I'm pretty stoked to get 4.275GHz out of my E8500.

Sorry about CoreTemp being in Fahrenheit, still can't relate to Celsius.

 

[Beta]

Closing in on what will be my everyday overclock. Almost 5GHz...
