and get a temperature reading. If you have a thermometer in your case use that in your CPU heatsink, otherwise everest or speedfan will work, but the readings from them aren't 100% accurate. If it gets to 70+ degrees then you need better cooling and should drop the speeds a little until you can.
Also, if you BSOD or freeze or anything while IBT is running then your system isn't stable so change the voltages, increase them a little (and i mean a tiny bit at a time) and see if it increases stability. If not then your chip is past its highest point so drop the speeds a little
ok i ran intelburntest v2.1 in maximum it it came out successful, this was my first attemp aswell. i am very surprised it did so well. How much further you reckon this baby can go?
yea, its limits is about 3.2 now im jst tryn to get it stable.
im not bothered to stable it @ 3.2gh,
so ima leave it at 3ghz. the settings are 223x13.5, vcore auto STABLE
and id prefer it at 3gh cus its on default vcore haha XD! keeps my temp low
Yup, i would just keep it at 3ghz, that is what i have my 5200+ at right now, it was barely a difference in performance that extra 100=200mhz, imo its not worth it to bump up that voltage from stock 1.3 to 1.45+.Just to get it stable at 3.2...
Like zerO said, Those 65nm. brisbane cores really didnt like going much over then 3.0ghz with out really pumping the voltage. The Windsor 90nm. F3 stepping was really the best overclocking one of the bunch.
