Trying to overclock my cpu, but have never tried it before. I read this guide but I'm wondering what I should be able to overclock up to and keep it stable without messing with the voltage.
---------------------------------------------
The guide mentioned disabling and enabling some things in the BIOS, what do you guys think of it:
Disable:
Limit CPUID Maximum
Power Technology
C1E Support
OverSpeed Protection
Spread Spectrum
Enable:
Internal PLL Overvoltage
Execute Disable Bit
Intel Virtualization Tech
---------------------------------------------
Here's my setup:
Motherboard: AsRock Extreme3 Gen3
CPU (you already know): Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4GHZ Sandy
Cooling: Corsair H100 Liquid CPU Cooler (closed-loop system)
Case: Coolermaster Haf 922 ATX
OS: Win 7 64-bit
Power Supply: OCZ Z-SERIES 1000W 80+ Gold Cert
Edit: My idle CPU temp is around 30-35 °C.
Been running for around 2 years. Not sure if I need to list anything else here but let me know if I do. Also, ASRock has this Extreme Tuning Utility (screenshot below) which lets you overclock while within Windows so I'm wondering if it's safe to use that or should I always go with a reboot?
Mostly I'm looking to overclock as I want to render stuff at times and some 3D programs are still entirely dependent on the CPU. So, I don't really need to keep it overclocked the entire time but once in a while I would need to overclock it for an entire day or half a day.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
