Die-hard Overclocking & Case Modifications | Forum profile

jeez 5.26ghz. Maybe you burned it out... or maybe your motherboard. Try everything at stock clocks. That much of an overclock is really pushing it, well, at least I think it is. See if it boots okay at stock.

Added the 2nd fan for a push/pull on the radator, made a diff. Used an Antec 3-speed fan for ea. fan both set to hi. My room temp is almost always 70F My CPU OCed to 3.7 idles now @ 30c and under a hi load it hits around 40c. Im using auto voltage & cool N quiet so that my voltages stay low as poss except during a hard draw. The extra radator fan dropped the CPU temp about 5c. My CPU voltages range from 1.09v idle-1.45v load

I got it stable at 3.8 with 1.375Vcore. I know I wont notice much with 200mhz other then benches. I just like running the i5 at 4ghz it just make me feel better. But in the end I really don't feel like having to replace everything because of my own stupidity. So what really is a safe Vcore on these old 1156 Foxconn sockets ?

Will try to get the amb temp tonight. Ended up taking my coolermaster 690 case apart last night and painted it all flat black. Will have it all back together tonight. As far as my cpu temps. Before OC my i5 750 was running at 35-36c with stock cooler, 27-28 with H50. Now OCD at 3.8ghz up from 2.66ghz my idle temps are 36-38 and running max load with intel burn test for 5 threads i only reached a max temp of 74c..

Did you down clock and check this problem yet? Also look for a wet board problem....that's a heavy oc needing the best of insulating. I also coat near areas with dielectric grease. Just a thought.

ya! they kick ass. just barely fit in the case. they are my first Noctua fans. i can't believe i have not owned them before this, really great quality.

I don't know what I'd do if the screen was a bit shorter up top, it'd take a lot of getting use to imo. Quote: Originally Posted by GC_PaNzerFIN Very nice. Compared to the T220 I had this one is much brighter and better in games even at 60Hz....

if it was me, i'd probably go with the katana, if that fans too loud you can change it for something decent, the spin is all built in and 80mm smaller and louder in my books
