Microsoft Windows 7 NL, Home Premium, OEM -
LG GH22NS50 Super Multi S-ATA,
My question is im fairly new to overclocking and i dont wanna break my computer. As far as i have come with reading countless of articles on the topic i want to know if im in the right direction with the overclock and im not breaking things by accident.
My question is, i wanna run at 3,84ghz i had this enabled with:
1st settings:
24x160
qpi: auto (5.76mhz)
uncore:x18 (2880)
spd: 6.0 (960)
The oc is running fine with stresstest and also temperatures are fine with high 60`s.
Are these good settings to keep or am i breaking something i not aware off?
Though i have been running with:
2nd settings:
24x160
qpi: auto (5.76mhz)
uncore: auto (3200mhz)
spd: 10.0 (1600)
I noticed quiet a drop in perfomance going from the 2nd settings to the 1st settings. Are the 2nd settings safe to use on my system because that whas definitly faster.
if you guys can shed a light into this it will be much appreciated.
