I put together a basic comp for my brother a few weeks ago and figured I'd have a shot at overclocking it today. I went into the Bios and changed all the settings to where I wanted and booted it up.
In the Bios I had the voltage set at 1.3v, however, in CPU-Z it's reading less than 1.15v... seems strange.
So I upped the FSB to 422 and it wouldn't boot. I upped the voltage a little more 1.35 and it boots. Now however, the voltage is still reading LESS than 1.3 in CPU-z.
So my question is, which one is real? Can I risk bumping up the voltage to increase my clock speed?
Also, temps after running various stress tests don't go above 40C at load with each core reading approx 48C.
What are the thoughts? Up the voltage and push for more? Stay where it's at?
Thanks for your input!
