just got a i3 530 and h55mud2h gigbyte board with corsair 1600 mhz xms 3 case 9
frio cooler from frys. 1 fan on low since the fans are loud.
so far 4.5 ghz 1.31v in bios , in windows reads 1.34, no vdroop at all orthose, 64c load
memory 1640 mhz case 9 1.65v , ram rated for 1.65v might not oc much more than 1600.
205x 22 = 4.5ghz
qpi link 2870 mhz clocked down a tad
not sure how to tweak for better performance.
focussed mainly on cpu so far.
==================
my question do i try to up cpu more or clock ram higher or qpi link higher ? or all the above ?
I just upgraded from core2 @ 4.2 ghz/p45 and this is my crash course in i3/i5 .
also running 560ti 950/2250
thermaltake 750 or 850 wat psu i forget.
