Hey guys,
As suggested in another thread.. I have started OCing my i5. I have had tons of stability issues with simple 4.5 so instead of going downwards(4.3). I followed what a guide recommended.
I used the Boost Technology. It was stock at
37
36
35
34
and I made it
45
44
43
42
41
I've had no stability issues, running prime95 for 1 hour now but neither Realtemp nor CPU-Z can read my boost. It's in full 99,7% load but the CPU still clocks at 3.7Ghz
I "cheated" and used blizzard's beta hardware detection tool which shows
CPU Type:
Intel® Core™ i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
CPU Speed:
4.42 GHz
Now two questions:
1. Is Blizzard's detection accurate?
2. Is it "safe" to run this settings? Safe as in, will I clean my CPU with a spoon after 2 weeks or will it be k?
3. Since RealTemp seems to read the clocks wrong, I don't know if I should trust it, but according to Real Temp the CPU Idles at 2-3% load with 4.2Ghz, is that "safe"?
