Hi OClockers,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to inform you directly that I'm a beginner, this is my first experience with a CPU.
My Rog Tytan G30AB is slowly getting worn out, so I swapped its Z87 socket for a Z97M-Plus Asus motherboard and installed an EVGA Super-Nova 750W PSU. I'm still keeping my old liquid cooler, probably the 510LC Astek.
Since I don't have any OC information, I looked into the BIOS settings and experimented with some configurations... I found this link: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2651982.
I'm not sure if I made a mistake, but the system seems to be running smoothly with the silent fan profile. Just wanted to double-check before anything major happens.
Thanks a lot!

Hi OClockers,
I hope this message finds you in good health. Without beating about the bush I'd like to let you know that I am a noob, this is my first time playing with a CPU
Any way, my Rog Tytan G30AB is becoming a potato as days go by.... so I replaced it's z87 with a z97M-Plus Asus mobo, and added a EVGA Super-Nova 750W G2 PSU. I am still using my old liquid cooler though; it's 510LC Astek, i believe.

So having no info on OC, i went into the bios and played with some settings... and got this result:

Hi OClockers,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to be upfront that I'm still a beginner and this is my first experience with a CPU. My Rog Tytan G30AB is slowly losing performance, so I swapped its Z87 socket for a Z97M-Plus Asus motherboard and added an EVGA Super-Nova 750W PSU. I'm still using my old liquid cooler, probably the 510LC Astek.
Since I donāt have any OC information, I looked into the BIOS settings and experimented with different configurations. The results are available here: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2651982. Iām not sure if I made a mistake, but the system seems to be running smoothly with the Silent Fan Profile. I just want to confirm everything is stable before anything goes wrong.
Thank you for your help.
Can you please download, install, and run http://intelburntest.en.lo4d.com/? You should also have a temperature monitor active. Perform a stress test at maximum load.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
(download on the far left)
You can also try:
https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
to verify what HWMonitor reports. It will log the minimum and maximum temperatures until it shuts down. Leave it open until the test finishes. Check your CPU temperatures during operation, and stop the test if they go above 90Ā°C. Once done, share the highest core temperature you recorded.
Iād also like to play for a bit. I know itās demanding, but testing stability is part of the process. See: https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner
Run it while playing your most CPU-heavy game. Log that temperature too.
With a 200MHz overclock, you should be able to reach around 4.4GHz without much difficulty. Your OC is only 200MHz above turboāgreat effort! Itās normal to take these steps until you feel confident.
Lastly, consider why youāre overclocking. What are the other effects beyond just heat?
Hereās a revised version of your message:
Hi OClockers,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to be upfront that I'm still a beginner, this is my first experience with a CPU.
Anyway, my Rog Tytan G30AB is slowly losing its power... so I swapped the Z87 chip for a Z97M-Plus ASUS motherboard and installed an EVGA Super-Nova 750W PSU. I'm still using my old liquid cooler, probably the 510LC Astek.

Did I go wrong? The system is running smoothly with the silent fan profile. I just want to confirm everything is stable and not causing any issues.
Thanks a lot!
Geniusdevil shared his experience with fellow enthusiasts, explaining that he is a beginner and his CPU has been struggling lately. He upgraded the motherboard and power supply, but still uses an older cooler. He provided links for benchmarking tools and advice on monitoring temperatures during stress tests. He also encouraged others to run HWMonitor and check CPU temps closely, especially aiming for stable OC without overheating. He emphasized the importance of gradual progress and shared personal tips about his setup.
Please let me know

68C at idle? Not typical. Could it be a fire risk? No. Many UEFI BIOS and standard BIOSs include a thermal wall. If it reaches 100Ā°C or the BIOS sets a specific number, the PC should shut down to prevent overheating. Remember that recent graphics card didn't handle it wellāits components caught fire. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that... Check the link for details.
It's not too bad to run it at 68Ā°C while idle, but it definitely doesn't seem normal.
