Hello Guys,
I require your help in overclocking my i7 875K.
I have the following setup:
i7 875k
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7
Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX cpu cooler
I have currently overclocked the processor to 3.7 Ghz by just turning up the multiplier from 22 to 28. The rest of the stuff is all on stock settings. However, I have disabled turbo and C states. My idle temps are 37 degrees and the load temps while gaming are maximum 65 degrees. However, if I run Prime 95, the temps hover over 80 degrees. Please assist. I want to overclock my CPU to atleast 4Ghz. Should i change my CPU cooler to the Corsair H80 or the Antec Kuhler 920? Please help.
