April 21, 201214 yr Hi guys, so I finally decided it was about time to o.c. my system :) So far so good, I'm testing it now. It's not a huge overclock (I run on air cooling, aftermarket one), I increased bus speed to 160 Mhz, and set multi to 23 getting 3.68 Ghz. I'm using a core voltage of 1.272 (by default at 3.2 turbo was 1.25, 1.232 with default 3.07 not turbo). Ram settings were unchanged since I can run them at their previous speed of 1600 MHz, on an XMP profile (DRAM volt is 1.65 and QPI volt at 1.4). Turbo and HT off. Now...: is there a way I can let the sytem decrease my Core voltage, like it did before, when the CPU is at idle? Now it changes the multiplier only. QPI link frequency was 3200 MHz according to CPU-z. If I left it at auto it went down to 2890. Other option is 3520 MHz, or higher. What should I do? Are there any other particular settings I should be aware of? Core temperature is around 75-76° on core 0, 72-73° on cores 1 and 2, 70° on the 4th. I use Coretemp to monitor, but I see Real temp says about the same. By the way, my mobo is an ASUS Sabertooth X58. Thanks for your help Fede Edit: Those temperatures are with Prime95 running, not idle!! :) Federico Bellato
