:pt1cable: Hey guys,

First off I'm not a pro overclocker and I don't know everything.

I've started tweaking with my PC and I thinkI have come up with my first low overclock but stable setup. Please tell me what you see could be improved and what looks odd.
I have set the Vcore at 1.2 everything else on AUTO. TURBO is ON running at 24X multiplier (24x158)

This Screen was taken after running for 1 hour. You can see minimums before I started the test with "cold bore PC" and max after an hour of stressing with P95.

Please give comments. I tried vcore at 1.15 but it crashed so I decided to start at 1.2 instead. The vcore was normally at 1.3 on AUTO.

...and I have 1 question: I have three sticks of XMS3s. They were showing at 1067mhz and as I increased the overclock they went up to 1267MHZ. I have understood that these sticks can go up to 1600MHz? did this value really increase? is this a correct interpreation of the data, or is this number giving me a suggested value that I should increase it to?

Also I have just noticed using CPUZ that my timings are not as they should be on the sticks. (7-8-7-20). Please advise on this as well.

As always, thank you all for your help!

Any news on the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme Cooler?

If it has anything to do with Thermaltake, it's a BAD IDEA.
