newbie first overclock

[mehere]

hi all new to this game been reading/playing does this look ok?

Im running i5 2500k
gigabyte z77-d3h
60 gb ssd
650 hdd
2x550ti
2x4gb ballistic sport ram 1600
coolermaster 1000w psu
water cooled with 240x80 rad+360x45 rad
heatkiller rev3
alphacooler universal blocks on gpu's
all in a 500R

if not give me a clue where I should be looking

1.5 on a 2500k for 24/7 use is pretty bad. you'll kill your chip pretty quickly. knock it down to 1.35 or around there and 4.4ghz. you wont see a lot of differnece

 

[SnW]

OMFG at 1.5, lower it man !
so not really ook........

BTW Welcome to OC3D !

 

[mehere]

prime had been running for about 2 hours I just restarted for screen shot
the voltage is confusing me bios set to 1.34V coretemp and hwmonitor tell me its 1.391V and cpuid says 1.512V dont know which one is right
if I drop it a bit she bsod after about 20 mins

How is it set to that?

What's load line calibration on? Could just be poor settings on the board I suppose.

Anyway, decrease the clocks. Go for about 4.5/4.6ghz for 24/7. I'd probably say it's down to the board as to why it bluescreens if it's lower.

 

[rossi94]

I fully agree with the others, more than 1.35 in long term usage are not healty for your CPU.

 

[jamesriley94]

I think 1.35v is a little too strict tbh...

It is under water, and temps are great considering the voltage.

1.4-1.45v should be fine for longer term use.

 

[rossi94]

I even go the safe way, even the worst 1155 chip will survive 1,35.

 

[mehere]

thanks everyone I'll play some more and let you know how I get on

 

[LiamTheBoss]

Dude take the voltage down no need for it to be that high.

 

[CPMFW]

thanks everyone I'll play some more and let you know how I get on

you do that mate

 

[rossi94]

But watch out with the vcore you wouldn't be the first who burns his cpu.

got the voltage to 1.41V it ran prime for just short of 4 hours and blue screened think i may call that it

Call what it?
You can't leave it there if it's blue screened?

 

[Josh Weston]

What were the temps like? If they were good, you could probably afford to bump it up by another 0.01v or so, if not, just drop it down to 4.5GHz.

 

[mehere]

more playing done does that look better?

 

[Deejeta]

thats one tough chip.....

 

[mehere]

thats one tough chip.....

Tough as in I'm hammering it? or its treating me mean

 

[Deejeta]

tough as in handling high volts like that at the start - 1.5v....

Are you sure it's reading it correctly? Mine takes 1.27 to remain prime stable at 4.5 and 1.32 to do so at 4.7. In either case it runs at about 58-65*C and I'm also under water. I'd go with the BIOS setting unless you have a way of directly measuring the Vcore, in my experience some motherboards aren't exactly reliable when measuring voltages.
