How many whats is your PSU? Memory timings? More info needed before we can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reezer Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) my temps are 23 Cel at idle and 35 at load when playing games. i have a 600 w psu. my core voltage is at 1.4 but i cannot change it my small increments because in my bios vcore option is just i 1.4 max. but there is an option to change the working voltage of the cpu at 1.45. I haven't played with memory timings yet because i read somewhere to do the cpu first and when stable play with the memory timings. But my ram is only ddr2 at 400 mhz. I may be wrong, but im inclined to think that either my ram or my mobo is hindering my oc:D Edited December 8, 2010 by reezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
