Nice OC. I'm at 280x9 right now and I've still got room. I have cpu voltage set at 1.4 +0%vid in the bios, which reads about 1.41 in cpuz. Try bumping your voltage up to get it stable above 285. You could put the multiplier down to 8 and max out the fsb until you get errors in p95. Then...
Thanks for responding, Duvie. The big drop in temps I experienced was from reapplying the AS5, not from the drop over time. I incorrectly applied it the first time by spreading it around the core. Sorry for being unclear. Regulating my voltages has also helped me realize why my temps were...
Yeah... Idling at 32C right now at 280x9 w/ 1.45vcore in bios, cpu-z reads 1.39-1.424. Tested 12 hrs prime95 twice and looped 3dmark for about 5 hours. Max temp running prime95 is 52C. Reapplying the AS5 must have helped; the first time I smeared it all around the core. I read the...
I reapplied my AS5, and after about a day my temps are coming down and I've been paying more attention to the voltage and setting it manually instead of "startup". Now, I'm passing prime95 for several hours at both 300x8 and 270x9, and my temps aren't going above 53c!! My voltages are at 1.4...
Thanks. I'll be patient with my temps for a while I guess. My antec 350W psu is almost 5 years old, so I doubt it is one that has specific problems with this board. However, is it possible that a weak psu could somehow cause higher temps orcause prime95 to fail even with low temps? I'm...
I'm new at overclocking, but I've been messing with my Neo2 Platinum and 3000+ 939 for a while now. It will run fine at 2.6 in windows, but it won't run prime95 for very long with mem and HTT way down. Even at 240x9, my temps during prime95 are about 60C. It ran prime95 fine at 245x9 (stock...
I FINALLY got my second board to post (RMA'ed) the first one. It kept shutting itself down and giving me blue screens when I tried to install windows. MSI tech support told me to set my RAM voltage to 2.7v instead of auto, and manually configure the 2.5-3-3-7 timings it was rated at. After...
