Still pretty new to the overclocking business, so to start I went into the bios and enabled manual under the "extreme tweaker" tab, was feeling brave so set v core to 1.35 and tried for a 5.0 over clock on the maximum turbo setting, windows booted up, went to open cpu-z and it crashed, lowered the max turbo to 4.8, occt ran for about a min and a half before crashing, so upped the vcore to 1.37, ran for about 10 minutes this time before crashing, so lowered the max tubro again to 4.6 (kept the 1.37 v tho) ran occt for 1 hour (1min idle at start 5 min idle at end) large data set -using all the cores, it passed this test thankfully, again this is just my starting point, im sure I have alot more to tweak, I kept my ram at 1600 and also kept hyper threading enabled.
Maximum temperature ranged in the 68-73 region however the CPUTIN was around 68 aswell it said the CPUTIN MAX was 127? so ocassionally it would read CPUTIN spiking at 127 (literally for a second) then drop back to 68ish degrees??
Sorry I cant give much more info but again still rather new to this, would you like any of the 14 files occt creates when the test finishes?
edite new idle temp reads 25 dgrees in asus ai suite II and 37 degrees in occt il go by occt's atm lol
