~Intel Core i3/i5 32nm Dual Core OverCLARKing Thread~

well heres my new chip and MB:D
its a high vid chip but a great OCer in terms of vcore
but i cant get it to boot at 1600@ 200bclk cl8/cl7/cl6
no matter what i do?dont know if its my hyper IC's
or the rev1.3 MB?
should find out though as i have some G.Skill's on the way:up:

i3-550 #3050A571 vid 1.25v
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H rev1.3

yep,thats the real good thing about this one is since its a 1.25v vid its very very cool running

I think my i3 550 is slowly but surely nearing the end of it's life

i wasn't even able to finish an encode (2min with Handbrake) at 4.2 without an immediate blue screen even at 1,47 vcore (well over the safe limit)...

it used to do it before but not now...

it even failed once doing a hard drive recovery at just 4.0ghz amd 1.41 vcore

so the only surefire one i know that is fast enough (just barely) but can get the job done with no BSOD is now
3.8 ghz at 1.44 vcore

well at least it's finally over

too bad i sold my E5400:(:(:(

of well it may now be time to try either a X3440 cpu or that new "sandy stuff depending on which is cheaper...

and just as a final reminder

:cow::cow::cow: remember batch # L008B586 :cow::cow::cow:

i know i will

can somebody please refresh my memory as to what's the max safe voltages for these procs? & possible 24/7...please. thanks!

Any info on the new 65w i3-540 stepping?

Yesterday I mounted my i3 530 on my Gigabyte H55N-USB3 MiniITX.

My batch is #: 3949B008.

I'm right know with the intel stock cooler and starting to overclock. I'm following the guide on first post of the Thread and I'm actually reaching the 180 mhz without problems in testing with OCCT and Prime95 with maximum temperatures of 72º-70º then I'm going to start playing with memory timings and apply the final multiplier to the CPU.

I'm really a newbie in OC knowledges but I hope that following the guide will not burn my computer :rofl:

Next step will be watercooling this beast.

Hey guys - sorry to bump an old thread but I only just got around to benching this chip sub.

This was on my Kayl SS @ -43 @ evap

NOW for my question - have any of you guys benched a 655 under Dice or Ln2? I have nasty CBB/CB (-60/-65) and was wondering if it was my EVGA SLI mobo or the 655? (I would test with another chip but this is the only 1156 chip I kept :shakes:)


cheers

holy necro thread:eek:

great job Ando, try upping bclock and lowering multi:up:
