What would you do next?

[yunaiseng]

I'm playing around with my new I7 build, my goal being to learn more, rather than really caring about actual numbers that I end up at. After raising the CPU multiplier to 46 and dropping the vcore down a little bit (I'm assuming, as long as its stable, lower is better for CPU longevity?), the machine is stable.

Next, I've been playing around with the memory settings, but it seems no matter what I try, I get BSOD. So, what I'm wondering now is, assuming I'm planning to stick to the stock cooling, what area would you look at next in fiddling around to get more performance out of the machine?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Components are:
- I7 2600K
- RS750-ACAAE3-US 750W RT
- GIGABYTE|GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Z68 R
- 4Gx2|CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B
- COOLERMASTER CASE |RC-912-KKN1 RT

1.044V for 4.6 OC???? most people needs estimately between 1.29 to 1.35v to get stable at 4.6 to 4.7ghz stable...if you got it as you say stable @ those volts ill pay alotta money for that chip hehe

1st leave you memory at default speeds and timings 1st get your cpu stable,cause if something fails you giving your self more problems to look for,cause now you dont know if it's your ram or cpu, (im 1000% sure it's you cpu lol) leave your ram alone for now up your volts to 1.25v leave it at 4.6 for now,prime it if it bsods up your voltage to 1.27 and continue like that

wait!! what cooler do you have???? if it's stock cooler dont go higher that 1.20v to 1.25 and max 4.2ghz till you get a better cooler

Let the bidding wars begin.

I have the 2500k, it needs 1.304 as an average figure to hold 4.6GHZ, its peak vCore at that level (on a prime95 4hour run) was 1.352. To do the 4.7Ghz it is currently set at I have to allow for a peak Vcore of 1.360.

But then again it is only a 2500k not a 2600k. However it is still hard to believe 1.044 would give a stable 4.6Ghz OC even on a 2600k.
