    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    +0.303 is the highest I can go on the VCore, so no change there but I did go with the 190x20. Around midway through the 5th round. A few minutes after the 5th round.

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Sorry for the delay, I ended up passing out last night while waiting on the Intel Burn Test.. I ran 3 runs of Linx successfully. The screenshot shows the max temp from that as 65-69. I also ran 5 runs of Intel Burn Test successfully with the same temperature results. Note: The...

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Will do, downloading those programs now. I'm using the CM 212 EVO w/ Arctic Silver 5. I purchased this motherboard with zero knowledge about overclocking and it wasn't even on my radar at the time so I wasn't paying too much attention to the settings but I would have to agree now that I've...

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Yes I set the CPU multiplier manually, I can crank it up to 20 if necessary. I bumped it up to 18 and did a quick run in Prime 95, and am running it like that right now so it's at 3.6GHz. I'm using GSkill 1600 I have the timings set to 8-8-8-24 right now per their website information. I'm...

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Thanks again for the reply. I cannot set the DRAM frequency but I can manipulate it with a ram multiplier. It only has settings 3, 4 and 5. So I have it at 4 right now since the ram is rated for up to 1600. The Advanced DRAM Config is for setting the timings. Given your suggestions I set it...

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Right on, thanks alot. Apologies for the quality here I took these in a hurry. The first two shows what I have already set, the third screen shot is all I have available for voltage options.

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    I see, thank you for the response! Is there any chance you could put me in the ballpark of where I need to be with my settings? I can provide you screenshots of anything necessary(cpuid, real temp, etc. etc.) I feel quite stupid for asking but this is the learning stage for me as far as...

    i5-750 MSI P55-CD53 OC

    Greetings. I am a neophyte overclocker at best. But being curious, I armed myself with a CM 212 Evo HSF, researched the best I could and decided to follow this guide as much as I could. I ran into an issue however when I found that my motherboard does not allow me to set the VTT voltage...

    EA 650W/EVGA 460

    Wow, thanks Danny, I can't believe I overlooked that deal on the 560. For only $12 more I would be insane to pass that up. I do have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth from AMD/ATI cards/drivers and am wanting to go with Nvidia this time. Thanks alot for pointing that out!! Also thanks for...

    EA 650W/EVGA 460

    Greetings I recently placed an order for an EVGA 460. In my haste when I ordered it I forgot to check the PSU requirements. Now that I have looked at it I noticed it is recommended to have at least a 450W PSU with +12V current rating of 24A. Well my PSU obviously can meet the wattage...

    Underwhelming Newegg black friday?

    Yes this is true. I do have the capacity to read and understand a Calendar. However if you are on their email list you will notice that their Black Friday sale started today at 3:00 PM PST. I called their customer service to confirm this fact.

    Underwhelming Newegg black friday?

    I was a little underwhelmed myself. I waited until today to place my order in case there would be any deals on what I needed but no such luck. I could have ordered yesterday morning and had it shipped yesterday as well. Now it will likely not be shipped until Friday. Sad pandas. That being...

    Question RE upgrade from 4870

    Right on, thanks for the suggestions. I will go ahead and pick up that Zotac 460 unless there is a better deal for a better card on Black Friday/Internet Monday. On the overlocking topic, I am a novice cpu overclocker at best and know absolutely nothing about GPU overclocking. Is it a simple...

    Question RE upgrade from 4870

    Thanks for the reply. I would rather not wait until January since an issue with the 4870 is inhibiting my game play which is annoying since I have a currently unused copy of Skyrim staring me in the face every day. Among other reasons. Unless it was going to be a ridiculous difference in...
