    i2500K OC with auto-voltage

    Im curious how efficient/effective it is to use "auto" vcore voltage when OCing an i2500K? I left everything at default and upped the multiplier to 45. I prefer auto because of the benefits of low vcore while idling. Vcore whilst running prime95 = 1.28 volts (When i was at 4.3 with auto (1.24...

    i2500k OC. Stuff to enable/disable?

    Hey guys, I just got my i-2500K with a gigabyte z68-UD3H motherbaord. Its seems as though every guide i look at recommends different settings to enable/disable? -Can i leave power saving options on? I hear SB is supposed to work with those on - CPU PLL (what exactly is it) -Multi load...

    Front Side Bus vs Processor Speed

    That new processor is a conroe... That is an old arcitecture that was very bad imho. Your E6300 is much better

    heatsink mounted properly?

    I just switched cases to an Antec 900 thus i removed my heatsnik (xigmatek s1283?). My idle temps with my E8400 at 3.8 GHz 1.352V are 33/36. What baffles me is that Core 1 never changes temp while in idle: stays at 36. whereas my other core seems to flucuate. When i load prime 95 up, both cores...

    OC for my E8400

    So after running prime for 12 hours one of my cores failed, however the other core ran for 19 hours. Now im in a predictiment... should i raise the VCore some more to 1.336 or should i jsut downclock? I really want to run stable at 3.8Ghz but my bum core 0 is preventing that. Also what does...

    Strange issue with mobo reporting VCC

    Hi, I have a eVGA 780i motherboard and was looking at the voltages because im ocing. I found a strange issue. When i select a certain voltage lets say 1.18 and reboot, it says teh current setting is 1.15. I did this with 1.23125 and when i reboot it says the actual voltage is 1.19 and when i...
