Overclocking i7 920 so wont bottleneck gtx 980 quite so bad
Looking to actually buy gtx980 or 970 along with later upgrading my processor main board ram at slightly later date at the moment leaning towards i7 4970k, as i realise im going to get some bottleneck on cpu intensive games with my current set up so hence im back to try
i believe i have sufficent cooling in noctua dh 14 and also have new full tower case haf x
also ive dwnloaded temp programmes and stress testing apps
I've been looking at a few guides obviously i have questions as good as the guides are
im not looking to get to 4ghz just 3.4 would be great 3.6 would be great
i also realise this isnt a 5 minute job this is my fiest time overclocking please be paient
the guide im looking at at the moment is http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/rmp_i7_920_overclocking
ive also noticed i have more then 2 options other than manual and auto
XMP, DOCP ?
what exctly are these and should i use them ? settings for them are included in pics below
the guide starts by trying to find stable Vcore for stock speeds do i need to do this can i not just miss this step and input manual settings ? im guessing its tring to get lowest amount to start from then the idea is to work incrementally work up the vcore why is bad to have high vcore is this what casues the potentially instability ?its just looking at others settings the vcore is usually above where you start at 1.25 and at around 1.36 could i have some clafrication on this ?
any other relavant info apperciated im sure will have follow up questions after actually tring this out
