PRESS ON!!!!!

Thanks again for all the advice. Will post pics of temps and stuff when I mess with overclocking more.

 

[caddi daddi]

we really like to see the goods.

So I tried 4.5 and had a fail on prime95. Dropped down to 4.4 and let it run for about 45 min. Here were the temps while running prime 95. I should be good to bump the voltage up a little bit to try for 4.5?

 

[caddi daddi]

package temp is getting close so go ahead to 4.5.

 

[cjkart20]

What are the limits I want again? I'm gonna have to bump my voltage up for 4.5

 

[caddi daddi]

the cpu line= 70c
package = 62c

- - - Updated - - -

the way i set my cooling is just to keep cpu within 10c of package, I think the board will will save itself from you by shutting down when the cpu line goes over 90c.

Looks like 4.6 is gonna be the highest I will get... Here is a pic of temps after about 1.5 hours on prime95

Very nice overclock, as long as it stays within those 62 you're golden

 

[caddi daddi]

yes, a very nice 4.6 clock.
I would like you to use the snipping tool in windows.
find it in start button/ accessories/ snipping tool, right click and select pin to task bar, it will make your screen shots look so much better.

please also go to the cpu-z web site and download cpu-z, open enough copys, (yes, with cpu-z you can do this) to show us all the tabs.

You're making my neck hurt!

 

[cjkart20]

haha I wish I knew about this tool all along. This the stuff you wanted to see? Think 4.6 is my limit?

Personally i would keep it at 4.6 yes its very good already for a 6 core on a budget cooler, you should be proud

Yeah you're about topped out. 4.6 at 1.45 V is a nice Oc. Could you click the slot #2 in the Cpu-Z spd tab so we can see what the timings info on the Ram is.

Good deal. Here you go.

 

[Mandrake4565]

Ok timing adjustment time. See your timings in the Cpu-Z memory tab of 11-11-11-28-45, set them manually to the XMP-1866 profile in the Cpu-Z spd tab except the Command rate keep that on Auto. The 3t is an error I've seen with Cpu-Z and the Sabertooth board, it does the same with my Sabertooth.

 

[cjkart20]

Do I adjust that in CPU-Z? Or go to the bios?

 

[caddi daddi]

it is set in the bios

 

[cjkart20]

I know pictures like this suck but I cant use that tool in the bios lol. I just wanna see what all I need to change and if I am even in the right place. I dont want to do anything to mess up what I have so far. Thanks for everyones help. I think I've almost got it!!

 

[Mandrake4565]

Just change the ones I put in red, leave the rest on auto.
