OK, probably I already have that. Will check after going back to home.

Yeah, Intel Burn Test is the best. It also puts most load on the CPU AFAIK. My temps were the highest when running IBT.

TG:
Will soon. Will clean my system soon and run the benches. Will get better thermals. Apologies for the delay.

ok buddy - I'll wait ;-)

@ SKud - You have to play more with volts and mem speed to reach the mgic spot ( read 4 Ghz ).

For make these change - at your own risk :

CPU Vcore….…[1.425V]
CPU Termination….....: [ 1.300V ]
CPU PLL……: [ 1.600V ]
MCH Core……: [ 1.300V ]

Now disable Fine cpu Ratio control - set cpu multiplier to 10x and CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) 400 Mhz

Set System Memory Multiplier and Memory Frequency correctly so that the ram modules can run only at 800Mhz speed ( that will give you a 1:1 ratio under cpu-z )

Run a OCt 1 hour cpu test and keep an eye on the temps and post back feedback.

No, do not move the vCore suddenly like that. Never ever do that. You have to find your minimum vCore for the highest frequency at the lowest temperature. ON your own. Raise the vCore in increments. Keep checking. The process takes like 3-4 days and 50 BSODs/restarts.

re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

what will happen if he up the vcore all of a sudden like that ? I know it's seems like a huge jump and wild guess but it's worth trying and still is in safe limits IMO.

I mean he has proper cooler and a good mobo - if he finds the OC stable at that vcore he should then try reducing the vcore to find what's the lowest possible vcore to get highest possible speed.

I would not recommend such high increments. Each board behaves in a different manner. Plus his overall configuration is quite different to mine apart from the processor.

Never know when an LGA775 will wall. Also 1.432 is almost the limit for E7400. Would love to reach their slowly..! :)

re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

My mobo is just resetting itself at 1.38V. RAM timings were a hell to set provided the meagre 266MHz FSB of the CPU. I am not going any further. Some reviews I have seen where CPU clock drive & PCI express clock drive have been set to 700mV while OCing - may be that would have helped but I fear my CPU would gone kaput. topgear, please update the front page, that 3.6GHz is my final. Thanks to you and asingh to guide me thru my 1st OC!

Leave the vCore at the stable position, I guess 1.36 for you. Increase the NB voltage a bit. Try.

It was already 1.26V from base of 1.10V. OK, will try once, just to be sure.

ok buddy - got your point ;-)

@ Skud - your mobo was resetting at 1.38V vcore. What FSB you set at that speed ??

348 MHz, 5 MHz increment from previous.

Oced to 4.8GHz, ran small FFTs test. So far good but might not be stable for longer run.

Hitting beyond 4.9GHz require more than 1.43 Vcore, not worth the MHz increase.

Some really nice readings: CPU @ 0, Fans over 50000rpm. :lol:

Just guessing [TRIAL]= how many rpms?? :))

On a serious note: nice OC. ;)

@ Faun

Great numbers man! :doublethumb:

Keep up the good work...

BTW u might like to use HWInfo64 its better for reporting and works great with ASUS Z68 boards :)

Trial version puts random [Trial] tags on startup. And those readings are :razz:

I was using HMonPro for individual cores temps. Close enough as confirmed from ASUS sensor utility.

Ran OCCT but halfway power went off. Come night, will start again.

hey thanks, will try that next time.

I was wondering if more than one softwares access sensor infos then they might get wrong readings. Is it true ?

I know, just pulling your leg... ;)

Try HWInfo or Open hardware Monitor.
