Getting ready for my first OC adventure... - Page 4

cniles · July 3rd, 2007

Decided to go a bit further. I just hit 3.488 GHz. I think Ill stop there. PC Mark and 3DMark went way up. I'm still testing for stability but so far so good. Running the 32M Super Pi and then the Torture test but so far so good and temps still in the 30's.

Both of them are lying, welcome to the world of software temperature monitoring.

I was wondering, did you increase your voltages on anything?

I'm at 3.207 with the lowest voltage settings on my bios and my cpu voltage is set at it's rated max of 1.325. I didn't try any higher fsb. If yours is running stock voltage...I may try a higher fbs tomorrow.

cniles · July 3rd, 2007

Yes I'm running stock voltages. The only thing I raised was the front side bus. At 3.488 GHz I had the following benchmarks:

PCMark05 - 7926
3DMark05 - 10586
Super Pi 32M - 17m 38s

Im running Orthos now and I'm maintain 44C on the cores with Core Temps and 45C on the CPU with Nvidia Monitor. I figure I'm reltively safe either way. I really don't think I will push it anymore.

Thanks for all of the advice,

wow, those temps sound cool. you sure there valid? my pentium D's (yes, i know its a hot cpu) is running at 39c idle and 45c load and its still at stock thank to this mobo (it's no overclocker!).

cniles · July 4th, 2007

Ive checked them every way I can. I used Core Temps / Nvidia Monitor / and even cheked in the Bios. Nvidia shows the CPU as one degree higher but other than that they are the same.

I used 5 120mm fans/ 1 200mm fan/ and an Arctic Cooler 7 Pro on the CPU.

All of the exhaust fans are putting out cool air to the touch.

ohhh your useing all 5 fan mounts. ok maybe it is valid then ;)

WOW, awesome results man. 3.4GHz on stock voltages with temps under 45C is great!

cniles · July 4th, 2007

Lol I have so many fans in this ANTEC 900 case I think I need to bolt it down to the desk to keep it from lifting off!

I'm definitely not going to push it any further.

don't blame you, 3.4ghz is an impressive overclock. a mighty 41-42%
