hi everyone, im new to overclocking, my gollowing specs are:
i5 2500k
msi p67a-g45
evga gtx 560 superclocked
8gb kingston hyper x blu 1333 ddr3 ram
corsair a50 performance cpu cooler
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
so as i say im new to overclocking...... what i need help with and some good advice is that im running my i5 2500k at 4.6 ghz and im running prime 95 and my highest temps are 60-70 degress, now is this safe??
now another thing i need help on is someytimes i want to leave my computer on eg i go for dinner or i go out for an hour with my m8 and want to keep my system on, now when i overclocked my cpu in the bios all i did was increase the multiplier to 46 and increased the volts for the cpu. now for some reason when im on the desktop in windows with nothing running when i go into cpu-z its still at 4.6 ghz, for some reason its not idleing?? why is this what setting do i need to change so it idles at 1.6ghz?
heres an image.. thanks, blk137
