i7 2600K first overclock

[Silver]

Hey everyone, just got my new rig few days ago, here's what i got out of it.

temps in idle are 38-40 for both CPU and GPU

where running aide64 i never get any higher then 57 on the cpu, but in prime when i run in place large FFT's it goes all the way to 74!

was going to get the D14 at first but it's not available in my region

any way, if any one has some tips for RAM and BIOS setting it would really help, would be nice to get to 5Ghz!

For BIOS settings

LLC - Ultra High

PLL Voltage - Enabled

Duty Control - Extreme

Phase Control - Extreme

Disable speedstep and Turbo Boost

For RAM just manually set the timings, voltage and frequency, you shouldn't need to do anything else unless you overclock.

Then for 5ghz just set the multi to 50 and then it's just the matter of finding a stable voltage i'm guessing you will need at the least 1.40v more than likely more. Start with 1.40v and increase a bit at a time, so 1.40v and if you can't get to Windows 1.4050v, 1.41v, 1.4150v and so on until you can get into Windows and run stable.

I wouldn't go higher than 1.38v for a 24/7 overclock though you will damage the CPU.
