So day before yesterday I followed instructions on youtube and overclocked my I7 960 from 3.2 to 3.6 ghz here is before and after pictures
Before
After
As you can see only thing I have changed was BCLK frequency from 133 to 150
I haven't changed voltage of anything so from 39 to 45c temp went to 46 to 53c (FYI after stress test temp didn't past 74c)
So it worked very well for me it was really faster with games and it didn't gave me tiny lags as it use to
But today after playing last light for few hours started watching movie online and everything froze except of my cursor and then blue screen telling me about a problem in bios
So I set it way it was and not having problems anymore
I use Corsair vengeance two rams sense third one broke so 8 gb on triple memory structure I have it running on 1066 ghz when it can go up to 1600 because my CPU is not supporting it, it only supports 1066 and lower( after turning on XMP to set it at 1333 it would give me unending loops at power on so 1066 it is ((voltage was on auto all the time))
Here are my Specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte G1 assassin LGA 1366
CPU : I7 960 3.2ghz
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 2x 8 GB 1600 (working on 1066 ghz)
GPU : Evga GTX 780 Ti dual classified edition
Case: Cooler Masters Storm trooper
So its really a pain because most of the games ask for more than 3.2 ghz to run on Ultra( I checked my specs on GTA 5 Ultra settings(web) and it gave my cpu 80% when every other hardware had 100%
Please tell me how should I overclock it because I haven't found more than 3 topics about this Processor + Temperature supports overclocking
