Hey everyone!
Thanks for the those that responded to my Turbo question in the other thread!
So due to supporting an overnight outtage (PBX/Telecomm engineer) I have had a lot of free time and done some reading which has gotten me to the point that i think I have an idea on how to get to a solid 3600/3800 OC of my i5 750.
SPECS
1. CPU: i5 750
2. CPU COOLING: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus
- (single fan not push/pull)
3. MB: ASUS P7P55D PRO
- (flashed to latest BIOS)
4. RAM: Corsair XMS3 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB )1600 MHz ( PC3-12800 )
- heat spreaders
- 9-9-9-24
5. PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TX Power Supply
6. CASE: NZXT Tempest EVO
- all 6 fans active, surprisingly quiet!
- 2 front 120mm fans are in intake
- 1 side 120mm fan intake
- 2 top 140 mm fans are exhaust
- 1 rear 120 mm fan exaust
7. VIDEO CARD: XFX Radeon 5850
PRE-OC TEMPS
Using Realtemp my 4 cores are in the mid/high 20s idle and around 40 at load.
OC GOAL
I am looking to get to a stable 3600 or 3800 with TURBO for now..THat should be more then good enough for this first time at doing it..
PLAN
Almost every guide/thread I looked at said the best way to do it is directly in the bios as opposed to software so this is my plan.
1. Reset BIOS to default
2. Leave CPU Multiplier at 20
3. Change BLCK to 180 for 3600 or 190 for 3800
4. Change RAM Speed to 1600
5. Leave Turbo enabled.
QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS
1. I realize that their is a lot more that really goes into an OC then changing 1 or 2 settings but from everything I have read..this is the simplest way to do it. Does anyone see any issues with the 5 steps above?
Thanks in advance!
