Ok, i have recently got my custom build machine, built it all up working fine, obviously i wanted to OC it, but as it was my first go at it i wanted to make sure it was done right. I checked about 15 guides and ended up following 4 to OC my 920 from 2.6 to 3.88, and it seems to be running fine (been a week) i did give it a quick 30min run with prime 95 which was ok, (also various games). but thats not my question rather is it safe to do this (temps are ok) do i have to do anything to my ram (i have no idea about this something about getting it in sync).
Also i would like to turn the OC on and off at will as one of my case fans is a server fan and can only be made quiet through the EPU (power management), i have Turbo V pre installed with the motherboard which can save profiles, is it ok for me to save the OC profile and then the stock profile and switch between them whenever i want eg playing a game, any help greatly appreciated if you want to add anything do.

There is no problem in doing that, but isn't it a drag to keep going into bios and switch? If your system is stable without disabling speedstep, then you don't have to do that. Speedstep will automatically reduce your core speed when you don't need the power, and pump it back up to your OC clock when you do.

Im not sure if i have that on i will have a look at my bios settings, is it always called speedstep?

Thanks
