I have:
Intel Core i5 750
Gigabyte Ga-p55-UD3R
Corsair Dominator 4x1 gb
Corsair H50 enclosed water cooling solution (2 fans , push/pull)
K the problem i have is my ram is not 100 percent compatible with my mobo.
stickers on the ram show they are rated for timigs of 7 7 7 20
and they are rated at 1800mhz
-yeah they are bad a$$
the problem i have is my base clock on my mobo is 133
so my cpu is 133x20 or something giving the stock speed
I know i need to make the base clock 180 to let my ram perform to its specs
I dont really want to overclock my cpu to 3.6 to i will probably simply tune down the multiplier so i would get something like 17 to have just 3.0
My only worry is whether or not to change the voltages on anything. I dont know much about the voltages.
last time i tried doing this it was not stable. however i think that was because i was using the stock cpu cooler and even worse, the stock cpu thermal compound (not nearly enough, not full contact with cpu) and my temps reached 80
So basically my question is "should i adjust any other settings than just baseclock and cpu multiplier? Should i disable turbo mode/speedstep/etc?"
thanks.
