Hi all,
So i bought a Zalman CNPS12X heatsink so it's time for some performance...
my motherboard is Gigabyte's GA-970A-UD3P, comes with 8+2 power phases so should be quite capable... also 4 gigs (2x2) of 1600mhz cl9 hyperx ram
with all the power saving features turned off, hpc enabled, - loadline calibration set to extreme, not 100% sure but lower settings seemed unstable...
i seem to be able to take it up to 4.5 ghz with just increasing the multi and adjusting voltage a little, 4.4ghz basically runs at stock volts but i settled for 1.418 just to be sure,
still looking for the best voltage for 4.5 ... have it @ 1.44 at the moment and it passes intel burn test - hottest core around 55c according to HWINFO64...
however i hit a wall if i go to 4.6ghz this way ...
so i guess i'd have to play with some other settings -
unfortunately i'm a complete noob at new gen overclocking... just been doing it on core2duo/quad before...
can you guys recommend some settings to try a higher oc?
