mobo: MSI p67a-gd65
CPU: i7-2600k HS: Coolermaster Hyper 212 + | 1 x 120mm fan
Memory: 4 x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance
GPU: 2 x EVGA GTX560 ti Classified
Case: Rosewill Thor V2 Full, 1 x 230mm side intake, 1 x 120mm bottom intake, 1 x 230mm front intake, 1 x 140mm rear exhaust, 1 x 230 top exhaust
When I first built my computer (my first build ever) back in January, I did a pretty simple overclock ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7mHYCd1Jho ) by bumping up the turboboost to 42, but now I want to actually try to overclock this thing to 4.5.
I found another youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZX7p6vY42A ) which led me change these three settings:
1. Set CPU Ratio to 45
2. Set vcore to 1.28
3. Disable Turboboost
The computer boots successfully and I can run Prime 95 for 4 hours without crashing, but my core temps seem a little high. After 4 hours of stress testing, core temps are: 60 71 70 67
I know that doesn't seem too hot, but right now it's winter, and my room is literally 12.5c (got to afford all these computer parts somehow). When it's summer, however, my room can get up to 37c - if my cpu's running near 70 now, what happens when it's the middle of August and my two GTX 560's are chugging away?
So my question is, are there other settings I should be changing to potentially give me better heat, or require less vcore?
Should I invest in, say, a Corsair h100 so that I don't have to rely on air cooling in the summer months?
Any advice at all would be welcome, and thanks very much.
