Hi, I have a stable overclock of 3216 mhz and I am wondering if I want to overclock it to 3300mhz, how much should I overvolt? I have a gigabyte motherboard and I overclocked it WITHOUT the multiplier and the RAM is still stable. I just added 1. My ram was 1066mhz and it now is 1072 without touching the voltages from auto to something else. I am using the stock intel cooler. I am using a gigabyte motherboard. The one without any mouse and a blue background. It detects when the computer can't boot, and tells you to change the overclock settings. By the way, I am new to overclocking with overvoltage. I have a gt 710, a stock cooler, and a core i5 650. By the way, should I ask 2 questions in one post?

Alright. I have tested the overclock I had of a cpu speed of 3216 mhz and a ram speed of 1072 mhz and it was on 53C and 54C without removing dust. And that is with the stock cooler. And, on a home theatre PC.

Not bad, most ppl don't try and push too much OC on a HTPC as it's generally not needed for gaming purposes, and it doesn't take much to watch video. OC generally adds too much heat for the uber small heatsinks in those tiny HTPC boxes, which raises fan rpm/noise beyond tolerable limits.

I consider my HTPC quiet.

That's all that matters. As you get more into understanding relationships between cpu and settings, you'll probably be able to add to that OC a little more and still find it quiet with acceptable temps. It's going to depend on your perseverance and the limits of that particular cpu/ram/mobo and bios.

I'd keep the voltage as is, but lower the OC 1 notch. Most bsod is from lack of voltage for the cpu demand, so to get stability at current OC limits, you'll either need to bump voltage up a notch or fiddle with some other settings. If you check windows event viewer for exactly what caused the bsod, you'll have a clearer answer as to what needs adjusting.

This is very useful, thank you for the information. I will probably try to find how to slightly lower the overclock. Thank you..

I lowered the baseclock and made the multiplier be x16. The temperature on 100% load is 52°C. I want to know if when its on 100% on cpu-z, is it normal if it is hard to stop the stress test.

Should stop easy enough, just like any other app, but you'll find the temps will still be high until the cooler has worked sufficiently long enough to cool down. If you are running p95, stopping the test just stops the workers, doesn't shut down the app.

By cpu-z stress test, I mean the bench tab there is a stress test button. That is what I meant.
