Post Your Overclock!

Yup, if you don't get a dreaded BSOD you are fine.
To overclock RAM it is sometimes needed to raise its voltage a tenth or two, so no harm.

This thread has been very good for my self-esteem. It's nice to discover that I'm not the only sick and deeply disturbed individual in the world.

[Britton30]

Thanks, 69 ain't too bad at all.

 

[Britton30]

Don't do THIS!

I sent back my P8Z68-V Gen3 and exchanged it for the P8Z68-V PRO version. Unfortunately I left the back plate for my Hyper EVO cooler on it.:banghead:
So I was forced to use the Intel "cooler".
Temps are idling on the destop.:shock:

<facepalm> just for you.

lol, well, it could have been worse, you could have left the cpu installed. Look on the bright side of things.

You can reorder that backplate from CM.

Well, just who do you think this thread was made for?

 

[profdlp]

The sick and deeply disturbed, I'd say.

They're all here, at any rate.

 

[essenbe]

Let it be known that you are not the first to have called me sick or deeply disturbed, or both at the same time. But, we build computers as our big boy toys. Pray tell me what good a toy is if you can't play with it. If that makes me sick and deeply disturbed, I guess all of the children in the world are too.

 

[profdlp]

That was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

 

[essenbe]

Now that my friend, brought tears to my eyes. No more fun on any kind? It seems that agroup of college kids would have a way to deal with him.

gutted for ya :shock: i nearly forgot to put the original back plate and socket surround back on my gigabyte board b4 it went bk.

@essenbe, we gotta have out toys enit my mrs says she doesn't mind me spending on my pc because if i still had a car id be doing the same to that but at a lot higher cost

So, what do you think about wattage? It passed the whole test. I got a temporary cooler, Hyper TX-3, and its doing better than Intel's, still runs hot though, better cooler on the way.

The ridiculous reading lasted only a few seconds and went to normal, 55-65 range.

 

[James7679]

Wow @ the watts Gary! Keep an eye on that...

 

[profdlp]

More Watts than a Methodist Hymnal...

 

[Britton30]

I think it's a fluke from CoreTemp, look at the CPU it has listed.
