First time OC and question about Voltages.

[Darth Bobo]

Basically I'm now in the process of OCing for the first time and I was wondering...

I have locked the CPU Vcore at 1.3V but are there any other voltages that I should worry about setting at anything else but AUTO?

PS: Right now I'm testing 3GHz at 1.3Vcore with OCCT while watching temps on TAT and PC Probe..

Auto should be fine for everything apart from your cpu.

If this is your memory, please check me on this and look yours up.

it should be set to receive 1.9V and actually I would say set it at 2.0.

I would set your cpu voltage at 1.350 Volts, thats a very minor increase over the stock 1.325 and will make up for the minor voltage drop/droop most motherboards exhibit, Vcore max spec from Intel is 1.5 volts so you are more than safe, some people have them running at close to 1.6V so, again, with 1.350 even 1.375 you are nowhere near a level that will cause any long term issues. Just keep watching your temps and proceeding carefully, looks good so far

I have the Corsair XMS2-PC6400C4 sticks, rated at 2.1V

Currently I'm running my CPU at 1.3V and according to OCCT (I haven't gotten around to testing with Orthos yet) it's stable. I idle around 37 C and load around 53 C according to TAT, Core Temp says I'm idling around 34 C but also tops out at 53 C under load. The only thing that bothers me is my motherboard temperature which rises to around 47 under load setting off the ASUS Probes warnings...
