Hello all
Am not good at learning how to OC luckily Xbit Labs overclocked an i3 530 @4.08ghz stable on a lower end H55 Biostar board like mine and so I just copied their BIOS settings.. Ran prime 95 stable no errors for 1 hour and 1 pass of memtest no errors but am thinking I should try lowering the Voltages then run prime 95 overnight to confirm it's stability
Here are the settings they used.. Link http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2010/03/03/overclocking-intel-core-i3-530/3
Intel Speed Step Disabled
CPU Ratio x22.0
CPU Frequency 185
QPI Frequency 2960mhz
Dram Frequency 1480mhz
CPU Vcore +0.140v
CPU VTT 1.285v
CPU PLL Auto
Dram Voltage Auto
PCH PLL Auto
PCH 1.10v
IGD Auto
Disabled all CPU power saving features
My question is does that seem about right? if so are there any Voltages/Settings I should try lowering/changing and test stability?
My specs are
Intel i3 530 @ 4076mhz currently
Cooler Master Hyper 212 max prime95 temp core 1 60c core 2 62c
Biostar TH55B with latest bios
A-Data 4gb 1600mhz @ 1480mhz currently
Powercolor 6950 video card stock
Corsair 600w psu
Thanks in advance
