Overclocking
Overclocking
I need to consider if purchasing a new PSU would be a good idea, especially since I'm currently on a tight budget. I'm thinking about whether it's worth it until I can afford a Corsair 1 in a few weeks. I also want to know if I should keep my current setup or switch back to the stock one temporarily. If I do decide to overclock, I plan to gradually reduce the voltage and run stress tests to find the optimal settings.
just to note i'm currently back in stock and my vcore remains on auto with the same voltage, is that acceptable?
If the bios confirms that is the needed voltage, then it's okay.
I just rebuilt my tower after the Cit Power Pack failed during prime testing for five minutes. I had to wait for a replacement. I’m not sure if an agency will help, but I don’t want to blow up again. Upgraded PSU to OC Stealth XTREME 5, upgraded GPU to ASUS HD 6770, RAM 2x4GB, G-Skill DDR3-1333, same motherboard model MMO 41M. Please give me some advice.
On this model running with a q6600, multiplier set to x9, you can adjust the FSB to 360 (3.24GHZ), and the PCI bus at 105 with auto-voltage settings. Your RAM will automatically OC to 1434MHZ, though when I power down and restart the system it reboots itself using the default speed. At the time, I set it back down to a lower configuration.
CPU FSB - 333
PCI BUS - AUTO
CPU VCORE - AUTO
CPU VTERMINATION - AUTO
RAM VCORE - AUTO
With this setup I managed to power off the machine and restart it smoothly, without any issues. My build was completed yesterday, and now I’m planning a stress test on that component.
My specifications:
Q66000 at 3.0GHZ (OC)
8GB DRR3 at 1066mhz RAM at 1333mhz OC
Be Quiet Shadow Rock 2 with 1x Air Series AF120 LED blue Quiet Edition High Airflow 120 (acts as one exhaust on the rear)
Evga 600w 80plus
MSI GTX 950 Armor 2GB
Bitfenyx Phenom matx
2x intake Air Series AF120 LED white Quiet Edition High Airflow 120
1x exhaust at the bottom with a fan included in the case from Bitfenix
PS: I also discovered that lowering the clock speed affected the BIOS settings—so I had to reconfigure it using the Gigabyte website and save it to a USB drive. Until now, I’ve kept the computer running overnight without any noise, keeping it very quiet.
I only suggest placing the CPU on FSB 333 and then performing a stress test. After finishing, I’ll share the results here.
Cheers,
it turned out to be stable despite sounding like a coil wine after just 5 seconds, i looked into it and found it's normal—what really matters is the noise from the capacitors. keep this in mind; if you don't constantly push the CPU at full capacity 24/7, the sound should rarely show up. the original clock was around 3.0GHz (cpuz was 2.997GHz) and there were no errors.
