Hiigarans Rig: Charlie Golf November Echo Oscar - Phase 5: Finalising - Page 19

Nice hii!

Makes me wish I had kept that i5 rig.

temperature is up to 75 degrees at 4.6 Ghz.

and i need to find out why my bus speed keeps going bac to 98.8, even though i keep setting it on 100

Some kind of power saving feature like SpeedStep?

looks like i cant get it past 4.7 Ghz without another voltage bump. at the moment, im reluctant to do it because on load, the core voltage goes up to 1.375...getting a little close to the 1.4v area which ive heard is strongly advised against. for the time being, im just going to run two instances of stress prime for an hour while i do my own thing...ill see what happens.

should it be 2 or 4 instances though? i think its two, but im not sure.

not sure. ill try four and see what happens

This may be an obvious question, but what do you do if you overclock too far and it literally explodes?

That... sounds pretty bad.

I assume there's no way in hell the company selling the CPU would replace it if you overclocked it and it was burned in hellfire as a result.

Just seems odd to me how someone who has waited years to get a good pc, and saved up for it, is going to risk it catching fire.

I am not as brave as you guys. My pc has an overclock profile but I have it turned OFF.

It produces quite a strong "hot plastic" smell if activated.

one more image added. going to be one of the last few images to post. youll find it in the case construction area...and i know, its a horrible worklog which seems to jump back and forth between phases. one day i might fix that up if i ever get the patience to do so.
