appleexclusive Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) First off, before I get attacked, YES I AM A NEWBIE to overclocking. My current system consists of the following: intel 920 Asus p6t Deluxe v2 Asus 5850 Video Corsair Dominator GT 6gb 1600 Corsair HX1000w power supply Cooler Master V8 cpu cooler Cooler master haf 932 case Masscool hd coolers (2) I currently have this system running at default. I would like to overclock it just a bit, because I'd like to maintain this system for a while without frying it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the processor @ about 3.00 Also, does anyone know of any lcd temperature gauges for cpus that I could put in one of my bays?

johneric Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) The simplest way is to use the AI Tweaker and TurboV software that came with your motherboard... have you tried that? It is pretty bulletproof as far as protecting you from blowing anything up... Edited January 16, 2010 by johneric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im assuming, and maybe I'm wrong, that if I could manually clock the chip at about 3.00 then using these tools could further speed up my system(safely).

They have good functionality but manually tweaking the bios works best. You can get 3.0 by just upping the bclock to 150 and doing nothing else. Every 920 i have used will do that speed with no voltage increase. That board is easy to clock with but your cooling while nice is not the best solution for big clock speeds on a 920. Safe depends on the stepping(CO or DO Find this using CPUz) THe DO stepping usually run cooler with lower voltages. So that would be a starting point for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if I change the bclock to 150, should I disable the turbo, and do I need to change anything anywhere else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicckko Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hi, I have a Asus Gene II, currently running at 3.8 GHZ with very friendly temperatures and voltages. Ill leave you my Bios settings may, they may work as a guide. In my experience I will recommend the core Temps below 74 C. With that case and cooler, you should be able to handle pretty decent temps. Here are my BIOS settings for 3.8 GHZ. Asus Rampage II Gene Bios Version - 1033 Tuning Mode - Extreme OC AI Overclock Tuner - Manual OC From CPU Level Up - Auto OC From Memory Level Up - Auto CPU Ratio Settings - 19 CPU Turbo Power Limit - Disabled Ratio Status: (Min:12, Max:21) CPU Ratio Setting - 19 C1E Support - Enabled Hardware Prefetcher - Enabled Adjacent Cache Line Prefetcher - Enabled Intel Virtualization Tech - Enabled CPU TM Function - Enabled Execute Disabled Bit - Enabled Intel HT Technology - Enabled Active Processor Cores - All A20M - Disabled Intel Speedstep Tech - Disabled Intel C-STATE Tech - Disabled BCLK Frequency - 200 PCIE Fequency - 100 DRAM Frequency - Auto UCLK Frequency - Auto QPI Link Data Rate - Auto Dram Timing Control: Auto CPU Load-Line Calibration - Auto CPU Differential Amplitude - Auto NB OCP - Enabled DRAM OCP - Enabled Extreme OV - Disabled CPU Voltage Control - Absolute VID CPU Voltage - 1.18750 CPU PLL Voltage - 1.81592 QPI-Dram Voltage - 1.20000 IOH Voltage - 1.11341 IOH PCIE Voltage - 1.51106 ICH Voltage- 1.11341 ICH PCIE voltage - 1.51106 DRAM Bus Voltage - 1.60381 Debug Mode - String Keyboard TweakIt Control - Disabled CPU Spread Spectrum - Auto PCIE Spectrum - Auto CPU Clock Skew - Auto IOH Clock Skew - Auto Check my post if you want, may be helpfull. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...howtopic=171599 Edited January 16, 2010 by Nicckko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
