Hi, this is the first manual overclocking I have done and I know the basics of it such as raise the fsb and the vcore when it wont boot and try raising the other voltages if you hit a wall and this brings me toy my other questions.
I have got to 2.81Ghz stable, I could not get past 2.70Ghz without raising the other voltages (nb sb vtt so forth) here is a picture:
( I also only ran prime for a hour, I needed to go to bed)
I can't get to 3Ghz it simply wont boot and my other question is how much should I raise the nb,sb,vtt and memory voltages what is the limit that you should stay away from?
Also I put the vCore at 1.3V and it is not showing that in windows it is showing 1.264 or in cpu-z (I know dont trust cpu-z) 1.84. is this normal?
Any help is greatly welcomed if you have any sugestions on what fsb or voltages tell me and I will be more than glad to try them out.
