Going to OC

[xXxTwIsT3dxXx]

To overclock I have to raise my DIMM voltage to .1+ so superpi will get no errors, my question is with 16 x 220 and 3500 Ram Dual channel. Will I damage anything to a point beyond repair, if I run it like this for another year? After that year I will be upgrading once again since it will be obsoleate(SP).



Cpu voltage will be 1.575

I think that you will have no problems running the above specs. What are you using for cooling (case and cpu)? Personally with a light overclock such as yours and your desire to only have it run for at least a year will create any concern. I would seriously doubt any damage but it would be good for you to state your idle and load temps.

You'll be fine as long as case ventilation is adequate.

[xXxTwIsT3dxXx]

Cooling is three intake fans 80mm 2 side and one front and 1 outake 80mm and 1 psu fan outake 90mm

case temps 28.7 idle load 44.....


cput heatsink stock intel. :bang head

With those temperatures I wouldn't even change the cpu/heatsink. That is overclocked temps correct?

[xXxTwIsT3dxXx]

No, but they dont change much.


Those are case temps not cpu...

Those are case temps not cpu...

What are your unoverclocked cpu temps vs your overclock cpu temps? Both Idle and Load.

[xXxTwIsT3dxXx]

its no differance around 48 load - 50 full load

[ropey]

Yes, you're just fine with those temps.

thanks all.
