i5 750 4.4ghz 24/7 on air

[varan]

Hello my name is Varan and i am from Holland, i am a beginner and this is my first oc. (sorry i dont know if this is the right forum to post this)

by the way, my english is not my strongest part i do my best.

i had a line for my self, when i made possible what i wanted, then i wanted to share with you. Finally i did, so....very happy .

Till now i did not asked any kind of question on a forum or some one else how to overclock. Just read a lot of forum's, guides etc...
a lot of experiment with my bios, airflow in the case, cpu, cooler etc.. and finally it work. Ofcourse a lot of blue/line screens and
i am not ready yet with experiments with aircooling till i get my load temperature down to max 70C at 4.4 ghz. I know, my temps are still to high.

The test that i just made was with room temp. at 21C

It's time for my self to get some help/advise from expert overclockers.

a lot of greetz

Welcome the OCForums.
That looks great.
Your temps are fine for 4.4Ghz
Your should try to stress it in sFFTs mode and see how it goes.

 

[SamSaveMax]

It would probably hits around 90C at 18min.....
Though, 4~4.3GHz would be an ideal clock for i5-750 24/7
Instability easily happens at 4.4GHz

made a little change to my airflow and now it does not go over the 85C and test it for 40 min.

end of this week a will try to fix some other stuf, lets see if i can stay under 80C

thanks

What are you using?

 

[doz]

Nice overclock for sure. Try LINX if you want to see some heat!

What are you using?

mugen 2 push/pull

Thanks, i will try at the weekend with Linx.

What is your experience about the best method to place your thermal grease? pea or spreading a thin lay on a cpu (with razor or plastic card). Or does this depend on the kind of HTS. If you have other advise, pls. let me know.

Nice overclock. Gotta love that i5 750. From my experiences with TIM. I usually do the old expired credit card method. Seems to work ok with my cooler.

Right know I'm using MX-2 from AC. It's my favorite paste. Hope this helps.

 

[SamSaveMax]

I use MX-2........and a little piece of plastic food shrink wrapper stretched onto my index finger to spread out a small glob of MX-2 from the center of the CPU over the entire surface area.
haha.....I don't have that many disposible credit card.....so with a shrink wrapper workouts great for me.

...the other gentlman meant to ask what heatsink that you use.

does that not makes airbubbles between your cpu/htc, i read/saw also a lot of spread methodes from smile to high five bla bla bla....but what i mostly saw was that the spread method wit your finger not good?

 

[SamSaveMax]

Nah, with bare finger would/might contributes a bad coverage.
I've been doing this way with shrink wrapper......for as long as I can remember on all of my cpus....still doing great.
Well, you can follow the others expertise advices. But since you asked...you've been shown of my methood which I think doesn't waste any precious TIM.

personaly i just put a blob, bigger then a bb, but smaler then a pea in the center of the ihs and let the heat sink spread it, i have tried the line method for dual cores aswell, but i didnt see alot of diference, i dont like manualy spreading my self as it can get messy,

at the end of the day, you just have to have a few trys , and see what works best for you.

Sorry, i did not suposed to mean its not good, it was a bit confused. The treuth is that i can not judge about what's good or not. till i try my self differnt way of spreading it. for me now its important to hear/know from other good oc'ers with more experience about there way to doing things .

Cheers mate

As far as TIM applications, go to the manufacturers website and follow their instructions for your CPU.

And yeah, I agree, using my finger is the LAST thing I would do. Im an old business/credit card application kind of guy and that served me well.

Nice overclock BTW, I swear I replied to this yesterday though!!!!

i already did that, behalve the good intructions that they provide there is mostly better way to doing thins, thanks to people who experiments.

Thanks

the temps, are they not to high for 4.4 ghz. i think tonight or friday i will get everything out of my case and try another way, maybe it change temp.

later....

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Temps are fine man!

I'm a big fan of the small beed method myself. I've used it for hundreds of mounts/dismounts and 99% of the time it's perfect!

 

[EarthDog]

Like MIAH said they are fine, thats just as high as I would go stress testing (not benching). Your 24/7 useage temps wont see that high.

 

[varan]

Thanks Miahallen and Earthdog

after do few things now it does not go load over 84C with roomtemp 21C and low idle temp.
