I am new to overclocking but not to computers. I am not a gamer. This is my new rig
i7-2600k,
P8P67 Pro
Corsair 4Gx2, 1600 mHz
Zelman nts9500.
I have read the recommendations from Asus experts. My issues are:
I can easily do 4653 with: 103mHz, 45 multiples. If I use 1.24V, peak cpu temp is ~60C, and it is stable with cinebench cpu stress test. If I use 1.25V, peak cpu temps are in mid-60s.
Both settings are stable with cinebench, but crashes with prime95.
Asus guys are recommending far higher voltage that really heats up cpu.
If I am NOT a gamer, and cinebench is stable, do I need to worry about prime95?
Antoher thing: I set OC through AI suite/win 7.
Most of the time when I restart the computer, OC settings go to default. Anyone else having same experience?
If I set OC through BIOS, would it make any difference?
