I got my new computer from newegg a few months ago just for a good gaming pc because my school lap top wasn't cutting it. After some research on the i5 I found out it can run at 4.0ghz and be stable so I had to try. It's my first attempt at oc. Pls let me know what you think about the computer and what could help the oc. Here's the link to the computer on newegg. now that i know about oc'ing i would have probably chosen something different but it's fine for now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-
Currently its running at 4.0 ghz, but after about 1.5 hrs of prime core 3 will have a rounding error. See pic below. None of the other cores have this probelm, and can run for 3-4 hrs w/ no problems. here is the only options that the bios has available to adjust and the settings that i have them on. I would also like to add that i have a frio air cooler that works great. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106150
ai overclock tuner- manual
cpu ratio setting- 20.0
extreme pharse full power mode- enabled.
other options for this are
bclk frequency- 200
pcie frequency- 100
qpi frequency- auto this also has options for 6407mhz and 7kmhz
dram timing-auto
cpu voltage- 1.275 this shows as 1.245 in cpuz
imc voltage- 1.3
cpu pll voltage- 1.8
pch voltage- auto
dram data reference voltage on CHA- auto
dram data reference voltage on CHB- auto
dram voltage- 1.65
load-line calibration- enabled
pcie spread spectrum- auto this could be enabled or disabled also. idk which is best
all c1e and power saving freatures are off
memory checked out through memtest85, and is currently at 1600mhz
