over clocking ?

Hey guys. Thanks for all the help you have previously given me on various other things. Its much appreciated. Now next order of business :) over clocking. I've been tinkering with it very very cautiously I just installed the evo 212 to ensure that I'm good cooling wise. I've managed to get to 4.0 MHz from the i54690ks stock 3.5. After I pushed the envelope to 4.4 she wasn't wanting to go that far. I slipped back to 4.0 in my bios and settled for that for now. But is their a good setup that can be supplied? I've adjusted voltages an all else to suffice for the increase. Or is that all my i5 will do. I know some CPUs can be cranked up more than others
 
Thread moved.

Basically you just keep pushing the multiplier up until the computer won't boot, then knock it down so it boots normally. Then you begin stress testing with Prime95 and keeping an eye on the temps.

You stress test until it doesn't bluescreen for several hours. If it bluescreens, you just bump the multiplier down a notch.
 
Using prime95. Crashed once. Did some tweaking. Running again. Sitting at around 66 C 100% load. At 4.4 GHz if I can maintain a stable test with that I'm happy. So far so good.
 
Yeah that all seems acceptable. Run it overnight and see how it is in the morning.

Also it doesn't need to bsod to be unstable. If one of the workers in Prime95 crashes, that also means it's unstable.
 
Put the cpu core voltage into manual and adjust multipliers to say 4.4ghz. If it won't boot put the voltage up by 0.050-0.1v and try again if it boots stress test and record results, if it won't put it up another 0.05-0.1v. Once booted stress test it, If it passes drop it down by 0.025-0.050v and repeat stress, if it passes drop it again and again until it fails. If it fails You can then home it in by dropping or rising 0.01v at a time until you find the safe voltage.

Try Aida64, I find it's much better software than prime95.

Yeah I ran for 4 min on full load prime an she shot to 190F on the 3rd test. I said enough is enough need to go back to fine tune this
