^^ you've corsair 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 ) - many have faced issue with the particluar ram kit like it's running fine at 1333Mhz but can't run at 1600Mhz - try set the DRAM volt to 1.7V under bios setting ( do it at your own risk ) and see if you can run them at ~1760+ Mhz speed ;-)

I noticed that over-tightening the heatsink resulted in idle temps of 40 deg cel and load temps over 80 deg cel.

I am using Kama Flow 2 fans in push and pull config.

Loosened it up a bit and not idle temps are 33 and load temps are 74 max. PC is damn silent. Kept the Ultra Kaze at rear, keeping it off.

No, I wont take any risk.

re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

I wanted to clarify something as i am noob in overclocking.

I got my sig rig and i overclocked it. Not manually just automatically that my mobo utility provided. And i can see when i stress my cpu it went to 4.2 ghz. So i call it stable overclocked or something?

i think u have enabled TPU feature in the mb which auto oced it 5ghz the turbo boost freq of ur processor is 3.7 so it is showing 4.2 on full load
oc'ing ur processor manually is also easy since it has an unlocked multiplier & u have an aftermarket cooler but do keep an eye on temps during load use core temp give it small increments & proceed

Run Intel Burn Test , Linx or Prime95 ... While running any of the software make sure you keep an eye on Temps also.. Even OC is stable ,Too high Temps will lead you to BSOD....

But Learn Manual OC from Internet for that processor and the main advantage of Manual OC is that we can maintain LOW volts.. so Temps will be in control...

SandyBride Overclock is very easy compared to Old Generation Processors.....

re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

yes i used tpu so i can say it's overclocked or stable 4.2ghz is called overclocked? i tried that prime software n i got around 60'C temp!

^^ looks like the 4.2Ghz OC is stable enough - go on next phase and OC the cpu to 4.5 Ghz - the cooler will handle it really well and if possible attach a second fan on the CM Hyper 212+ ;-)

great - just make a post with few more details about the OC and your overall system config ( read the first post of this thread ) so that I can include your OC on the list ;-)

@mithun_mrg

That Overclocking is awesome considering that processor...
SO what's the Cooling solution you are using?

Also you need to put little bigger screen shots for better view...

@s_v here is the cinebench result crashed twice at 1.376V then i cranked it up to 1.416 memory at 1.6 then is ran max temp was registered at 70C will try to hit 4.8 this weekend with that voltage if i can manage another fan in push pull config
