Simple Overclocking question

[slong]

Im running my 955BE at 3.81 at 1.48V which i know is high volts for that speed but my temps are fine, i was wondering if clearing my cmos would help getting better oc speeds with lower volts? i did mess up alot before i got it stable.. just wanting to lower my volts and thought maybe a fresh cmos would help?

Running that kind of voltage with those clock speeds is not all that unusual. The 955 is rated up to 1.5v And as long as your temps look good (for me under 55c at 100% load on the core) I don't think I'd worry about it to much.

^^^ +1 to that

yea i can go as high at 1.5v on my air and still get stay around 58-61 under lots of load, but wont go above 63... i top out at like 56 on 1.48 so 1.49 i might be able to push a bit more out ^_^
