Starting to OC..

[daniSAUR]

So I'm a complete n00b when it comes to OCing, I only just started to understand s775 boards just as SB came out, so forgive my ignorance.

I have't started OCing as of yet but this is my stock clock/temps:

These any good? I don't actually know anything about decent temps and such so your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Don't worry dude, there are plenty of OC pro's here at OC3D which have helped me no end....

Good luck!

Idle temps seem a bit high, should be around 30*c, your load temps are ok though.

You should be able to get 4.5ghz easy with a 2500k, just set the CPU ratio to 45 and work your way up from 1.28v until you are stable. 2500ks usually take between 1.28 and 1.35v for 4.5ghz stable, just depends on how good your chip is.

Do you have stock cooling or aftermarket on your cpu ?

Ha thanks, hope I can manage a decent OC.

Temps cooled from Prime95 are now 35C, is this still high? When playing, say bf3 for example, temps are usually around 38C-42C. Ha, hope the chip is decent, but 4.5ghz should be plenty for me.

I have a watercooling loop, so I'm going assuming temps aren't that great with my current setup? My room is pretty warm mind you (warmest in the house).

35 sounds alright, around 30 is the norm give or take a few *c either way, so i'd say 35 is ok.     

 

[daniSAUR]

That's a relief! Thanks Sieb. When I cold boot after a while it settles around 33-34c as well. Think I'll hit up the oc tomorrow. Will post up the results

Okay just upped the multiplier to 40.0 and vCore up to 1.20v. Latest screenie whilst running Prime95:

Nice little overclock dude, go for the 4.5ghz now, 2500ks are made for it

Cheers mate

Just on 4.2GHz with a 1.25v still pushing it with Prime95.

 

[fredtrix]

I think you will get a pretty good result @ 4.5 =)

Sorry, moved post to correct place.

I was able to achieve 4.5GHz on a simple hyper 212 I wouldn't worry about temps since you're using watercooling.

Can I just ask how exactly do I control the voltage via the bios? How does using the offset and +/- affect the idle voltage or the turbo voltage? For LLC, I have 3 options; Auto, Enable, Disable. What exactly does PLL do?
