Thanks for the help... though I found my FSB to just run short at 420@3368 but when i run prime95 it roughly lasts about 6 mins of running the torture test. Otherwise running at 410@3290 isn't as bad... it did run for 10 mins prior to me stopping the test.Originally Posted by CrazyNutz
Try to find your max OC at stock vcore. Just up your FSB 10 Mhz at a time,
boot windows and run prime95 for a bit to see if it's stable, if so bump up FSB
10 more and try again.
If you find your max before you hit the 3.33 that you want the next thing to do is to start bumping up your CPU vcore just a steps at a time.
I would think you should be able to reach the 3.33 with that CPU with little
effort, but thats not always the case, so Good Luck.
Oh, and make shure you watch the CPU temps, especially when you start raising the CPU vcore. I use a little prog call "Core Temp".
How long should i be running the prime95 test?
As far as Temps go, it runs during testing at an avg 50-52C using CoreTemp during Prime95 test, otherwise at idle it's steady at 30-34C.
I haven't tried the settings with CPU vcore just yet... it'll be the next thing i work on... though i'm curious to ask where should i start in terms of voltages? bottom up? or middle up?
