So basically you want me to turn everything back to default except for some settings you provided previously?

What do you mean by multi?

It would be so much easier if I had you on IM! haha. I'll try this out later.

These ones; http://forum.avsim.net/topic/390010-overclocking-and-system-tuning/#entry2505383

I need some help with the voltage offset on that. I'm clueless with overclocking/voltages as you can tell from the previous posts on here. If you could check those images again and give me some advice, it'd be greatly appreciated!

OK so I have my new case and cooler, swapped everything over and am running on it now. Only got one picture of the two boxes haha but was rushing as I was due to start work so never managed to get other photo's. I'm currently running @ 4.4Ghz with the Corsair H100 with 20-30c on minimal load 0-10%. On 100% load, I get 50-60c @ 4.4Ghz.

Might need to make some mods to my desk though as the HAF 932 is 10cm+ higher than my current case that sits very close to the keyboard drawer. Might move the drawer up or take it out completely since it's in bits lol... These drawers never last... I'll post up some pics while installing it all. EDIT - Fixed grammar...

I just bought the HAF 932 Advanced. Looks like a sexy case and comes with a few fans which will save money :lol: . Will buy the H100 in a fortnight...

Would the HAF 932 be a better choice? Seems like it has more room for the rad.

Or a case that is around £100 ish... I'm thinking of getting the HAF X now...

Can anyone tell me if the H100 will fit in the HAF 912 Plus? If it will, I'm buying it right now and will build it tomorrow ready for some more overclocking :lol:.

I did do a quick google search and found that it was the Lucid MVP program causing it. I also noticed they'll pulled FSX from the list now. All is fine now.

Has anyone seen this message yet? I just reinstalled my FSX and booted it, got this warning pop-up about 50 times having to click OK to clear it. Then installed Acceleration and the same thing happened again... Anyone else experienced this? EDIT I also just noticed... It does it every time I launch FSX

I've just checked HAF912 Plus. Looks like a really good price compared to the corsair ones. I'm definitely getting the H100 so just need a good case to go with it.

I just compared my case to the 650D. It's 4cm wider and about 10cm taller and depth. I've found myself a new cheaper case .

<p>What's the sizes differences between the cases? The 800D seems a bit much for a case whereas the 650D is a bit better on the wallet, supports a dual radiator and that's what the H100 is...</p>

I managed to get it quite stable last night at 4.7 with an offset of +0.070 but temperatures reached 100 so I think with the right case and cooling I could get 4.7.

I don't know lol... On my voltage offset it has -0.001 and +0.001 and it raises each way in 5's... any suggestions on a corsair case?

I have it at 44 with -0.005 which seems to be stable @ 1.120-8v I'm going to save up for a new corsair case with a h100 setup hopefully.

Interesting... I just rebooted and left voltage offset at -0.005% and bumped the CPU ratio up to 4.6. I rebooted and it gave me a BSOD before it even got into WIndows. I rebooted back into the BIOS and raised the voltage offset to +0.100. Now, the overclock seems to be stable but the termperatures are definitely higher. On CoreTemp right now, I'm seeing the following; Low: 78-84c High: 80-87c Screenshots of CoreTemp/CPU-Z attached. No errors being reported from Prime95 after around 10 minutes. Voltages are varieying between 1.208 and 1.216.

OK so that test ran for only an hour. All passed fine. Voltage varied between 1.120 and 1.128 and temperatures stayed at around 65-74. What do you suggest for going higher or should I stay where I am?

So the last Prime95 running at 4.2Ghz finished 200-220 tests in 1.5 hours with no errors at all. No sudden spikes in temperatures and voltage stayed stable. Running another prime 95 for another 1.5 hours on 4.4Ghz. Screen shots attached for current stats. I may also add that my fans aren't running at 100% with these stress tests... With my AXTU (Asrock Extreme Tuning Utility) I have the target speed set to one but optimal temperature set to 45c so they adjust accordingly to reach that temperature. Pretty much off when below that temperature and speed up as it gets hotter. Since I took the screenshot attached, the temperatures have sat nicely at min 65-73 max.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=Z77%20Pro3 Will try 44 in a little while.

OK, so I've made most of the changes you gave me. For some reason it wouldn't let me disable Intel Turbo Boost. DRAM Frequency doesn't give an option for XMP, only various frequencies... I set the BCLK to 100.1 like you said but it's running at 100.06 @ 42. Current voltage 1.2260. Temperatures sitting comfortable at 65/70c, screenshot attached for CoreTemp. Disabled HT as mentioned. CPUz seems to be more accurate than CoreTemp. Screenshot attached. With the cpu voltage offset, I set it to 0.005 which was the default after changing it from auto to offset. No errors with Prime95 yet but not been running for long.

it shows 0 50 and 100 percent including auto. it shows 0 50 and 100 percent including auto.
