Torment_78 :
what cooling are you using ?
you will need somthing good for oc'ing
what psu did you go for ?
i went with the corsair RM850 for my build
I am using a hyper 212 EVO - fairly solid cooler IMO. For the OC's I tried before realizing the PSU was shot I hit 4.6ghz (100x46 multi) and only hit about 69-70C after p95 for 2 hours (before it would crash). I'm not too worried about temps really
For PSU I did some research and ended up going with PC Power & Cooling SIlener MK III 850W. Solid reviews and manufacturing, one of the top brands according to a few different sources (up there with SeaSonic, Antec, Corsair, etc... They said typically PCP&C is rebranded SeaSonic so I'm good with that lol)
I have been OC'ing AMD for years, however this is my first Intel build. Any tips for OC'ing on an Intel platform? The research I've done so far for Ivy Bridge-E states 1. don't mess with BCLK as it can become unstable quickly (however I don't know much about 'strapping' so if you have any information about that I would appreciate it), 2. leave the power saving features and turbo on and use the multi to get the max clock up (I like this approach, as I would prefer less of an OC that can fluctuate the voltage and frequency over a slightly higher OC that I would have to keep at a steady high voltage the entire time)
