    Overclocking an Intel i5-750

    This is the rest of my spec by the way: 1 x IL-I5750 Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) 1 x PAT-6GDDR3 Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Triple Channel kit 1 x MSI-P55GD6 MSI P55-GD65 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard 1 x TT-W0106...

    Overclocking an Intel i5-750

    I'm trusting Core Temp 0.99.5 x86_64 for the temperature readings, and I'm way out of practice on this- I probably am too high on voltage then.. I'll retry shortly edit: I notice that my bios settings show some green power adjustment stuff too, though setting it off doesn't seem to change...

    Overclocking an Intel i5-750

    I messed around today and am getting ~4Ghz using a noctua u12ps2 cooler.. temps under prime95 are 65c top, idle 30c Click the image.. my voltage is ~1.43 btw, not what cpu-z shows on that validation sheet. It seems to misread it!

    Overclocking an i5/1156

    That's better.. 4010 ghz using 20x200.5 & 1.43v. idle 28c load 64c after about 30 mins of prime95 and case closed up Click the image..

    Overclocking an i5/1156

    Mine's 1.4v, I think the cpu-z link shows that too. I'll try some more today and see where I can take it :)

    Overclocking an i5/1156

    Thanks sirmonkey. I'll start off duplicating this result in the bios.. What's a good target temp for this chip ? It's been a while since I did an oc, ~4 years with an old AMD barton. I'm testing by running prime95 for about an hour and checking the max temp I hit. I should be able to...

    Overclocking an i5/1156

    Howdy, I picked up a Noctua u12ps2 (2 fans, one pushes & other pulls) and put it on my 2.67 i5. I have the msi p55-gd65 with "oc genie", which takes me to 3340.6 (using 17x196.5). Memory is patriot viper 3x2g Here's CPU-z ID info: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1029084...

    Windows 7 home premium and 2 cpus

    Thanks, it's what I suspected. So I am correct that my i5 system will work fine (one cpu, multiple cores, 6gb memory), but my dual Xeon will require ultimate? I did check the charts and actually googled it before purchase- there were a couple blog entries stating that home pro wouldn't have...

    Windows 7 home premium and 2 cpus

    I've been hunting for the official microsoft word on this, but it looks to me like the home premium edition won't let me use 2x xeon cpus. I can't find any official documents on this, though from past history the home editions locked you to one die (but multiple cores ok). Does anyone know...

    decent upgrade from 8600gt around $100-120 mark?

    Thanks guys. So it sounds like folks agree that it's worth putting this card in a 3.2ghz xeon box, that's good to know. I'll let this sit another 48 hours for any late "don't do it you fool!" posts then I'll grab it :-) It's a good thing I don't have a holodeck, pamela anderson and her 40 twins...

    decent upgrade from 8600gt around $100-120 mark?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys- I can't find any explicit comparisons- what kind of a leap in generations is going from a 8600gt to a 5750? Would my old dell turn into a holodeck?

    decent upgrade from 8600gt around $100-120 mark?

    I have a dual Xeon 3.2ghz system (dell 670). It has an xfx 8600 gt in it.. what would be a decent amount of bang for the buck to upgrade the video? Looks like a 9800gtx is around that mark, and a radeon 57xx is close. Any suggestions? I'm using this pc for SF4 lately, but that means low def...

    i5 750 Overclocking Issue

    I was getting around 3.3 pretty easily with a freezer7 (slightly better than intel stock cooler). Is the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 the one to get for this chip? I've seen sandra scores closer to 4ghz, but I always wonder what the full story is/what components used etc.
