July 31, 201114 yr Author Commercial Member Vin, yesterday I tried to go up simply by changing the BCLK Freq parameter in the BIOS setup to 180, with CPU Ratio to 20, thus having 3.6 GHz. I did some tests with FS9 and temperatures were quite acceptable, even if a bit high. But, when I flew on the FSDreamteam JFK scenery, I got a CPU overtemperature, with the core 0 reaching 85 °C. The room temperature was quite high (almost 27 °C), but I got a bit scared and lowered the frequency to 3.4 GHz, anyway better than the 3.2 I had until yesterday. You mention "turboboost", what is it?Thank you.James You really can't use the stock cooler if you intend to overclock. Get yourself a good air cooler, or a good water cooler, or you could end up with big problems (like a dead CPU). Vin Scimone Precision Manuals Development Group www.precisionmanuals.com
