Newbie overclocking, some help?

Featured Replies

If you do not know anything about voltages for that CPU/Board don't touch it , else you will fry something.

Ok, can I leave them in AUTO without problem, correct? And what about Turbo power Limit, C1E and othes, can I ENABLE them now?

EDIT:Seriously man, did I spend my long posts giving you a good tutorial and all, so that you overclock however you like? Do as it pleases you... I'm outta here... angry.png

NEVER in my experiences do you put the voltage on auto. The mobo can do some silly things.

That's true. I've seen the auto stick voltages above the maximum allowed. If you run it on that, it'll fry quickly.

Thanks to all

I tried the auto voltage on my 2500k once and it didn't even boot, had to reset BIOS.

My auto voltage run fine on my system, my doubt was that the voltagesv were to high in auto so my cpu is too much supercharged and temp go high. I need to find the lower voltage to obtain low temp and stability.

This was at 4.5GHz so it was not easy for the mobo. If you are at stock or just over, then auto does the job.

Stock is 2,67 i oc to 3,65 and leave in auto, but i don't know if trust auto voltage. My temp with prime go to 80C and it's no good for cpu i think.

That's a little on the hot side. Try manually lowering your core voltage down slowly.

Is that I've done, but HOW to low, also 0,85, minimum range value for i7?

If you go too low, the system won't boot. So then you just start increasing it again till it boots, then stress test it to see if it's stable. Most cpu voltages for that CPU shouldn't go below 1. Just read the OC guide that was posted here before. Everything you need is in there

I red it carefully, it's a very good guide. Many thanks again :-) As said before I use Freezer Xtreme Artic Cooler, but I've tested with 3.65 my CPU temp go high, about 80°C, so in your opinion which is the best cooler, Thermalight or Noctua for my mobo?

Noctua NH-D14. Best air cooler available (and priciest). Beats some closed loop liquid coolers
