Do you have a HSF or is it just using the stock cooling that came with it? Also what is your motherboard?

You can probably get it to 4.5ghz with a good cooler. We need your specs tho

MB: MSI P67A - G45 B3
CPU cooler: Antec kuhler h20 620

I have mine stable at 4.8 ghz under a Noctua cooler, but you should probably go for around 4.5/6 ghz

Ok, put core on 1.37 volts, dram at 1.55, multiplier at like 45. Call it a day.


turn off the intel speed boost crap too

Umm, OK. What does Dram at 1.55 have to do with the CPU overclocking? You don't even know what ram he has.
