    Need help with i5-2500K OCing

    At above WTF!!!!! If you have the option set the XMP profile for your ram so it runs the correct timings. Any time I let the Asus suite overclock my rig for me it ALWAYS set my ram to a higher freq. and made the timings to tight to get a stable over clock, not to mention clocking the BLCK (base...

    Sandy Bridge and water-cooling: Real-World Experiences Wanted!

    I disagree, not even factoring the sheer size of a decent air cooled HSF I changed from a Tuniq 120 to the H50 and dropped about 10 degrees, not to mention its a hell of alot more slient then air cooled HSF's. For the price of the H50 it is a uber piece of kit....I have my 2500K running at...

    Tips/settings for SB I7 2600K to OC to or above 4.7ghz? 16gb ram?

    I too have the P8P67 Deluxe and had terrible trouble with the latest BIOS....these boards are niggly at the moment. I went back a rev. of the bios to 1053 and the board is much better overall.

    Q9650 vs 2500k

    Well TBH, its does indeed depend on what you need and use your PC for. I upgraded from a Q9450 and it is a substantial difference across the board, I did not upgrade when the 1st i7 platforms came out because the performance did not match the price of the upgrade then....but TBH the price of a...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    The mobo actually shipped with the very 1st Bios....I was having no troubles, but then again I did not have the board very long. When I read the fixes with the 1204 Bios I decided to update as it seemed pretty major fixes. I have had nothing but trouble since I updated, I have now reverted back...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    When I said 200mhz I am just telling you guys what my ram speed is at default so you know. I am well aware that the P67 chipset and CPU sees the RAM timings different...as in my Corsair XMS DDR3 2000mhz will show up as 1866 in the bios. I have tried to set the ram timing to default and NOT...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Yeah I was thinking that myself that the volts were high...it was for a 2600K the guide but should be the same. I tell you my main worry...no matter what I do to the settings anything if I set my ram higher then 1000mhz the PC just turns off DEAD. No BSOD straight to power off!!! WIERD...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Okay, I just read an article in CUSTOM PC (Europe) and here is what they specifically say to set for a stable 4.5Ghz overclock. Mostly left to auto but other setting seem a little high on the volts. Extreme Load Line Cpu Volts - 1.39v CPU PLL - 1.9V ? VCCSA - 1.1v VCCIO - 1.10625v ...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Having some very niggly problems guys. Stability is just not there no matter what I try, I find I am getting more joy setting nearly everything to auto...when I set the volts even generously I cant get the thing past 4.2Ghz stable with default memory @ 2000mhz Maybe I have a bad batch for...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Thanx a million guys, its the individual options here I was looking for and you lot are coming up trumps ;) I ran Prime95 for 1 hour just to see tmeps and never went above 60 degrees at all, and idle is late 20s. I am rock stable now at 4.5Ghz but my ram is running at 1066mhz (533 in cpuz) I...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Well its not stable yet....tried to run Prime95 and it locks up after about 3 mins. I just used that to get the vcore under load. It boots into windows fine, idle temps are fine. I just dont know what the best way is to clock this....when you select "ALL CORES" do you leave them auto or select...

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Thanx for even looking at this post guys....I am just wondering if it is possible or even advisable to run the now SB chips at full overclock. As in not idle at 1600mhz and ramping up to 4.5Ghz when needing it...what are the setting to change to enforce this. Also the setting on the Asus...

    So I just bought a refurb 3008wfp for $800, comes with 2 year warranty.

    I am so interested in how this performs in FPS games....I have a chance to get a new dell 3008WFP for €1300 euro....which is a very good price here in Ireland. But I am concerned about lag and backlight bleed, I currently game on a BenQ 24" tft and it is super for all games...... Any YOU...
