Questions about OCing related programs.

[nisallik]

This morning I finished installing my PC and went to go OC it. Good stuff I guess.

Got back into Windows and launched a few programs that I heard people liked to see their pc stats.

SpeedFan is showing : Temp1 31C
Temp2 25C
Core 0 23C
Core 1 27C

That looks good.


CoreTemp says : Core 0 38C
Core 1 40C
Frequency : 2880 (320.0 x 9.0)

Temp is off a bit.... *shrug*


OCCT says : Core 0 38C
Core 1 40C
CPU Clock : 1920 (6.6% OC)
Bus Clock : 320 (60.1% OC)


A little confused here... I'm not sure what I should go by, I did have it set to clock 3 GHZ but I changed it since when I used Prime95 OCCT/CoreTemp were getting close to 60C. OCCT is showing that OCing my system to 2880, that it is really only 1920.

I'm using the P35 DS3L Overclocking guide I found here and I'm using an Allendale 2160.


First time I have OC... so I am probably missing something. =p

Anyways, here is an update.
PC runs it's intended OC while doing stress tests, playing games, etc.


While idle, it still just runs around 5 - 10% OC. I found some tips to adjust the power in the control panel and set min/max to 100%, but it still doesn't actively make it stay at the OC settings full time.

Any help will be great. =p
