Rightnow im siting at 3.6 ghz 18x multiplier overclock on vcore of 1.375 which i have not touched at all. (3.7 gives me some hickups)
Prime test gives me a 16.8 to 17.5 thermal margin with a cpu temp of 64. Coretemps are 53.5 max
I'm fine with it being at 3.6 atm but i would like to overclock my HT and NB.
I know you can either increase the multiplier or the frequency. I want to know which path i should take (multiplier or frequency)
Also i figure i should raise the cpu vcore as i do so right? Where to start?
System Specs:
phenom x 6 1090t 3.6 ghz / 1.375 vcore
Kingston hyperx 4GBx2 DDR3 1600
coolermaster hyper t3 with arctic 5 paste
asus m5a97
gigabyte 6950 oc edition
