thanks for everyones help through all this i have learned a lot in 24 hours. do i need to drop aod and go into the bios thing from here on out? when i first built this thing i was at 77c+ and confused badly, now i know that aod reads core temp and all the others read socket temp and socket temp is of little value. i have also learned that with voltage more is not better. now i have to learn what all the other numbers in these display are and what they mean.
this is at 4240 standard stress, if overclocking is all about passing a specific test over a specific time and not worrying about stable 24/7 i should be able to work this thing to 5ghz with proper cooling and coaching. right now i think the only thing holding me back from 4.5ghz is cooling and small adjustments.
psykoikonov, i got the very high setting ran last night and it took it all night to run, to pass that test on this setup i had to back down to 3.7 ghz or my overtemp warning would come on or shutdown. it looks like i cheaped out on the cooling and am paying a high price for it. i found it just a little strange thati could back the cpu voltage down and run cooler and more stable. trents statements appear to be true and seem to apply to most boards. it makes me wonder why this cpu ships with such high voltage, or is that the board maker?
Trents, where do i find these things in the bios, i found and opened it today and it sure looks full of sugary sweet toys but i don't know the fist thing in there.
