Il_napoletano Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 My overclocked computer Specs: Cooler Master Haf 932 Gigabyte P35 DS3R Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz @ 4Ghz w/Zerotherm Cooler 8Gb Geil EvoOne PC2-6400 800Mhz @ 900Mhz CL=5-5-5-15 PNY Geforce 9800GTX+ 512Mb WD Raptor 10k rpm 64x Windows 7 Ultimate Benchmarks: Super Pi 1M 12s 32M 13m52s CINEbench Rendering CPU 2.3pts -Single Core 1.21pts OpenGL 42.04pts Temps Idle 23C Load 41C Other Info: FSB 450 - Rated 1800Mhz CPU Multiplier x9 Vcore 1.3625V Do you guys think it's safe to go higher with the voltage?

nickk47 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, your load temperature is ridiculously low. I think you can get that cpu to higher levels. Mine is at 4.0 as well and the load temp is 61 c...which is why I am not choosing to push it further. But its a e6500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 btw that's Tcase temp...i think core temps idle around 32c and load 53c....i got the temps from HWMonitor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 but as i am on the max recommended voltage...how much more can i go without drastically shorting it's lifespan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickk47 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Oh okay, 53c still isn't bad though. I think you can get that to 4.2ghz or so. It's all really trial and error but my comfort line is 60c load and nothing over 1.38v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
