reddot Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Hello guys, I have just been playing around with OC'ing my CPU a tiny little bit. Here is the screenshot of Prime95 doing its work, as well as CPUZ/CPUID information. http://i42.tinypic.com/28latkx.png The load temperatures remained at 65-68 degrees through the prime95 test. I set my RAM Voltage to 1.60 and it seems to be stable, but I could always bump it up to 1.64 in case it fails on me. My main question is about my Core Voltage, as you can see on screenshot it is currently at 1.256V, is that too high for my OC? I could try putting it at 1.2250 as I have seen on some forums, but I would like some suggestions from more experienced users. Also, in the DRAM frequency, I have chosen the 1200's one closer to 1333 (which is my stock frequency of the RAM), because the next one up was in 1500's and I did not feel like OCing the RAM, as I am pleased with its performance already. Any extra tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Here are the PC Specs, if that is of any help: Intel Core i2 920 @ 3.26GHz (air cooled with Noctua-NH12P) ASUS p6t non-deluxe version 6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 Viper@1333MHz 7-7-7-20 500GB SG HD @ 7200rpm EVGA Geforce GTX 260 216cores, OC + 1800MB vidRAM Corsair 750TX PSU QuickEdit: At idle the temps vary from 39 to 42. Seems good to me, or am I wrong? Edited June 30, 2009 by reddot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 That looks fine. The core voltage is different for each chip. You should try lowering, but there's no guarantee that will work. Just because some chips will run lower doesn't mean yours will, and even if yours won't that's still a good voltage. You should continue to tweak to find what works best for your parts. What thermal grease are you using and what fans are on the Noctua? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What thermal grease are you using and what fans are on the Noctua? Fans are 2x Noctua NF-P12 Premium Fan and for paste I use NT-H1 Thermal Compound (the TIM compound). Both are doing an amazing job, pretty much inaudible when working (even during 100% load) and very very efficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsboredom Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) im running a 175x21 overclock on my 920 w/ the noctua push-pull system and am running 1.256v which is what my motherboard defaults to or "autos" to and it runs great. Mine idles from 32-35c normally. Room temp around 26C Edited July 1, 2009 by xsboredom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddot Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Just a quick update for those interested: When I finally added all the cooling these are the temperatures produced by HWmonitor after 30 minutes of L4D, seems very good to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 3.2 on a 920 is a piece of calke as you have found out. Thats a great start for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
