First of all thank you for this guide
And before I continue here's my new rig:
i7 2700K
ASRock Extreme4 GEN3
16GB 1866MHz B.Skill RAM
H100 Corsair CPU Cooler
Two GTX480SC Running in SLI
Intel 520 240GB SSD
Two 2TB SATA 6Gbs Seagate Hard Drives
Two 1TB SATA 3Gbs Western Digital Black Edition
A5 AudioEngine Speakers with D1 DAC (Just had to throw that in
)
Okay So I followed the steps in the guide and got 4.5GHz on the OC but I have a couple questions. BTW I ran Prime95 for approximately 11 hours and had no errors.
While watching CPUID during Prime I noticed that even though I set the multiplier to 45 it fluctuated between 40 and 45 depending on load. Also when idle it drops down to 16x. I'm assuming this is normal.
My temps never went over 58C and averaged around 54C to 56C. I forgot to take a screenshot before shutting down Prime after the 11 hour run but I restarted it just to show what the numbers look like under load.
The only difference in my BIOS from the guide is that I don't have C5. I have C3 and C6 and C1E. I only disabled C1E but left the other two on.
Finally LLC is set to 3. Now, where do I go from here? I want to take it to 5GHz but not sure which settings I need to change for that to happen. I have an idea but I don't want to make any changes until I hear from some of you guys first.
BTW this is a screenshot AFTER the 11 hour Prime95 run but AFTER I stopped the test. In other words it's at idle:
