Stable i7-930?

[Boredominc]

I know I could clock the shit out of this i7-930 but I'm happy with around 3.3. I was just wondering if this is a stable clock or if any of the settings are incorrect (Totally new to the OC scene)

I ran:

Prime95 for 30min (will run it longer later today, after I get some Zzzz 5am EST atm)

Linx at 20 times, no errors -in the Pic

CPU -in the Pic also signature

Real Temp -in the Pic

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Jordan

Is it on stock-cooler?

Should be rockcolid,but try 200bclk and 17x multi,and set ram-speed again to 1600.

Cooler: NH-D14

set Blck 200 and the Multi 17x and ram 1603 (couldn't set it to exactly 1600)

core temps

1: 41/65C

2: 40/64C

3: 40/63C

4: 37/62C

Temps are high for such a small oc.Ambient temps must be high in Florida.

Now if you want to oc higher,just up multi and add some volts in small nudges until stable.

Edit: This is one to read for beginners.

The temps are about the same when at stock, the A/C says 75F (23C)-ha...

But its a nice cool 92F (33C) outside. -more like 102F in the sun and good luck getting in your car.

Got to love the summers in florida

Thanks for the link and advice

EDIT:

From a cold start the idle is:

1: 38C

2: 35C

3: 38C

4: 34C

Under a D14 you could easily hit 4GHz I'd say, even in hot weather assuming the voltages are low to average, but your overclock looks fine. Obviously longer runs of LinX with the all memory option selected and Prime 95 Blend to make sure it is fully stable are required.

Also before you stress test it for longer durations untick "Automatically Restart" under Advanced System Settings (Right Click > Properties on Computer), then if it does BSOD you can more easily identify what needs to change using this list: http://www.overclock.net/general-pr...0091-complete-list-bsod-codes-when-ocing.html
