Well this is the first time out of the gate in regards to Overclocking, really anything within a rig (I had bios-locked laptops prior to this point), and am looking for some feedback on my overclock.
A few things I am looking for are:
*Do the voltages look appropriate for the clock speeds imputed? Am I overvolting, undervolting or right in the 'butter zone.'
* At each clockspeed, would you recommend staying at that clock for long periods of time, or resetting to stock speeds/ a lower clock?
* Do these clocks look like they are going to shorten the life of my MOBO/ CPU? Or is this not something to worry about too much (again newbie here ^.^).
----
So, first a few notes on my rig and the clock process I used:
Rig specs:
Tower Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Computer Case
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
CPU Chip: AMD FX Eight-Core Processor FX-8350 4.0GHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60 Along with Two Corsair Air Series SP120 Fans In push-pull configuration
RAM Sticks: 32GB of CORSAIR Vengeance (4 - 8GB cards)
Power Supply Unit: XFX Core Edition PRO750W PSU
Graphics Processing Card: MSI Gaming OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Am still working on getting this resolved as the card I received turned out to be a DOA component.
Disk Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive
SSD Boot Drive: Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB SSD
Clock Process:
* Used the Bus Frequency method opposed to the multiplier method.
* All clocks have been stress-tested for over 15 minutes with prime95 and are stable as far as I can see.
--------------------------------
So! Now on to the clocks!
Clock 1: 4.515 GHz
Clock 2: 4.656 GHz
So I hope to hear from you all on what is up with these clocks. Looking forward to seeing all your guys' opinions on these!
Thanks a bunch!
Sincerely,
Nerumph
