No I haven't tried LinX yet I guess ill give it a shot tonight and see what happens. Thanks :)

I got it down to low 80s at max load so i'm comfy with the temps now :)

Got an error with 190X21 and was running at like 89C... reduced it to 187X21 (3927) and it's perfect... no errors (20 runs of IBT so far) and max temp of 82... didn't think just 3mhz hclk would make such a drastic change. I think i'm satisfied with this. Don't need higher. Thank you for your...

I am currently using 21X190 (195 pass prime work) Prime 95 runs a lot hotter than IBT. Like 6 degrees at least. Should I be testing with IBT? I did not turn turbo off. I did 21X190 at 1.24325 CPU voltage and got a prime error in 45 mins. I upped the voltage to 1.25 and am now trying again...

I actually reduced my CPU Voltage to 1.25 from 1.27 and my QPI/DRAM core voltage from 1.35 to 1.25 and it's now not going above 89 and usually hovering around 86-88(although i've only been priming for 20 minutes) That seems a bit safer. I didn't change any HT options in bios from what i...

I actually changed it around to 190X21 (3990) and am having about the same results. Passing prime just fine but temps reach about 92ish at highest load. So would you guys recommend stepping it down? Please realize I don't mind throwing the cpu in the garbage in like 4 years but I don't want...

I am at 195X20 (3.9ghz) on my 920 (D0 stepping) at the moment. It seems like I am not getting any prime/Intelburntest errors but my temps go to 92 once in a while. Do you guys think this is too high? Should I step back a bit? What is the max temps I should be hitting without my computer...

ugh... I already reseated it like 8 times due to some issues i was having with other hardware (and thought it might be the mobo/cpu) :( I used the AS5 website method. My ambient temp isn't really high. I reduced the voltage to 1.29xxx and am using 195 clock/19 multi. The temp hovers around...

Ok guys, so i'm up to 3.7 Settings: Multi: 20 BLCK: 185 CPU Voltage: 1.3 DRAM Bus: 1.64 QPI/DRAM Core Volt: 1.35 Ran Prime 95 on blend test for 8 hours with no errors Highest load temp for one of the cores was 91C 25 mins into the testing I have not tested lower voltages yet. I am pretty...

NVM...

Awesome thanks for the advice Can you tell me the difference between CPU voltage and QPI/DRAM core volt and which of these did you recommend not going above 1.3 on?

Hey guys, so my comp is in sig, except it currently has 6gb of RAM because one of the sticks was defective. I'd like to overclock it and just need some basic advice. 1. Are speedfan + prime 95 + memtest the only software I need? 2. In speedfan, there are temps for each of the 4 cores as well...

Ok let me try to be as detailed as possible. I put together my rig - i7 920, 12 gigs of gskill, p6t mobo, 2X evga gtx260s overclocked, 1 v raptor, 1 tb wd drive, cm 680 case. I am not sure exactly what caused the ram to fail but i will try to guess ( i am also guessing that it is the ram but i...

Hey guys so I put 12gb of G skill into my i7 920 build. I am almost certain one or more of the 6 sticks is messed up (very very long story, if it becomes important I will try to describe it here) and I am just wondering if there is any software that can which sticks are messing up. Also... is...

You sir just won the internet
