@ Jaskanwar Singh - nice oc there

[Jaskanwar Singh]

hmm... Very nice Temps ......
looks like Killer cooler for that Price....

thanks S_V.

@ Jaskanwar Singh - nice oc there

thanks TP

[Skud]

Rock on, Jas.

[Jaskanwar Singh]

thanks skud

[pramudit]

My comp specs.....

only gpu overclocked....

can some 1 plz help me with cpu overclocking.... no option for increasing fsb speed in bios....

[CA50]

^ then you can't OC, better get a new mobo with OC support

[pramudit]

intel really suxxx in the case of motherboard....

[techbulb]

intel really suxxx in the case of motherboard....

Agreed

[CA50]

@pramudit, but newer highend intel board supporting SB are better in terms of OC too

[pramudit]

hmmmmm.... but companies like Asus and MSI provide better features.....

For the extra bucks u pay..

a little update guys???
CPU-Z Validator 3.1

5206.16 MHz
only limited by the cpu here.....

[topgear]

^^ Nice but is this the max limit that a 2500k cpu can reach with Air Cooling ??

[CA50]

@MegaMind, but from my experience, intel boards are usually on the high price in comparison to asus, MSi etc

That has changed with SB chipsets..

Wow! Power of a very good 53x chip

Did u check the stability??

51x actually......

Did u check the stability??

vantage cpu test stable...so thats ok in my books...i run 24/7 @ 4ghz(1.19volts)

[MegaMind]

^^That great then.. Cooler used?

[sumonpathak]

Nh-d14

[d6bmg]

51x actually......

Ah! I thought that this is the same monster chip that you have bought from thebanik. :-/

[sumonpathak]

nope...that died thanks to CESC

[Tenida]

nope...that died thanks to CESC

What about CESC???

[sumonpathak]

^^they just over volted my whole setup

[d6bmg]

nope...that died thanks to CESC

Sorry to hear that. I was surprised when you have said that your chip is 51x. I think your gigabyte motherboard & that chip most probably died at the same time due to this, right?

[sumonpathak]

yes.....the present mobo is definitely better than UD4...but am limited by a chip....and since no one i know can do a multi testing here...and wantz to trade chips am stuck for now.....

**N00b**

On my prev Intel DG31 mobo I had a core speed of 2600 MHz with Multiplier X 13 and Bus Speed 200 MHz [FIXED] and Rated FSB of 800 MHz .

I got a new Gigabyte G41MT-S2 mobo and values are 200X16 = 2600 at full load and with less load they switch to 200X6 = 1200. Is it due to some option in BIOS set to auto/default ?

In BIOS there's an option M.I.T which lets you tweak values - I haven't changed anything yet as I want to be sure of different terms used in Gigabyte boards.

What should be my next step ?

PS: This's my first OC and am trying to familiarize with the process any help is highly appreciated.

CPU : i5 2500k
Revision : D2
FSB X Multiplier : 47
Vcore Under Load : 1.351
Vcore at idle status in windows : 1.336
Vcore set in bios : 1.34
Cooler : Venomous X

Motherboard : Asus P8Z68-V
Chipset : Z68
Bios Version : 0902

Ram : Gskill RipjawsX 2*4GB 1600MHz
Latency : CL8
Volt ( set in bios ) : 1.515(Auto)

^^ nice OC though the auto vcore is a bit too high the load vcore is good enough.

the difference between the auto vcore and load vcore indicates some huge vdrop - are you using the latest bios version ? Try manually setting the vcore if possible but as long as the test and real world cpu hungry apps are stable no need to worry too much.

BIOS is the latest version TG.. Will check by dec. vcore in steps..

Update : 4.9GHz @1.4v..
