January 20, 201016 yr Hi. This is my 1st time OC and I just wanted to get some help form you guys :(The thing is ive just brought a new PC (and what a PC!) but id like to OC to improve performances even more.My new System:Prosessor: INTEL CORE I7-920 4 x 2.66GHz 8MB cache LGA1366Motherboard: ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 LGA1366, X58, Socket-1366, DDR3, ATX, SLI&CrossFireX, 3xPCIRam: CORSAIR TWIN3X 1600MHz DDR3, 6GB, DHX Graphics card: Sapphire HD4890 OC (2x DVI, TV-Out) 2x DVIPower Suppy: CORSAIR Powersupply 750W Black, ATX/EPS, 140mm Fan, 8xSATA, SLISource (keep in mind its Norwegian):http://www.eliteshop.no/?menu=produktinfo&id=77And as you can see it has not got the biggest cooling system and I was wondering how Big of a OC i should go, before its starts melitng (a safe temprature)Pleas put in mind that im a complete newbie when it comes to this!Please reply as soon you get time for it.Appreciate it. :)
January 21, 201016 yr Looks good except the graphics card isn't ideal for FSX. You really want a Geforce GTX 275 or 285 for optimal performance and image quality.
January 21, 201016 yr And as you can see it has not got the biggest cooling system and I was wondering how Big of a OC i should go, before its starts melitng (a safe temprature)What cooling system? As far as I can see your using the stock CPU Cooler. Did you by an aftermarket cooler?
January 21, 201016 yr i havent bought anything seperatly, so well yea the cooling system you can see there is that what im getting.
January 21, 201016 yr i havent bought anything seperatly, so well yea the cooling system you can see there is that what im getting.I have the same Mobo, CPU and possible RAM as you and run it stable and overclocked to 3.8 GHz with these settings in the bios:BLCK Frequency 190DRAM Frequency DDR3.1523CPU voltage 1.35QPI/DRAM Voltage 1.35DRAM Bus voltage 1.35I have a zalman cpu cooler which is quite large but it works very well. However, I would be very cautios overclocking with the default cooler.Picure of the cooler Krister LindénEFMA, Finland------------------
