Alright, so pretty new to the overclocking scene. Got lots of info for you guys though, I have a few specific questions and then would also like some general feedback on the way I have my overclock setup.
Build:
i5 2500k CPU OC'ed to 4.5ghz
Corsair A70 cooler
Asus P8Z68-V pro mobo
8gb ripjaws ram.
Coolermaster HAF 932 case
EVGA 570 has yet to arrive!
Alright so pictures first:
This is after Prime95 has been running for about 40 minutes in a 24 degree room or so. My BIOS settings are as follows:
-Multiplier set to 45
-Internal PLL Overvoltage: ON
-Load Line Calibration: Medium
-Phase Control: Extreme
-CPU current capability: 100%
-CPU Voltage Offset: +0.050 (Voltage in BIOS shows from 1.208-1.216, as opposed to the 1.334 you see in the screenshot.
First question: I'm assuming the voltage difference between what it shows in the BIOS and what it shows in CPU-Z is because the CPU is under full load in the screenshot, is this true? When I turn off Prime95, CPU-Z shows a core voltage of anywhere from 1.040 to about 1.20 volts.
Second question: Is 1.334 volts a respectable voltage for a 4.5ghz 2500k overclock? Are my temperatures what I should be sitting at?
And lastly.. anything I could be doing to improve voltages/lower temperatures/increase clock, just make my overclock better in general?
Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
