For games, all that FSB won't make any difference, and why stress the board? Mobo is much more likely to die early than CPU.
If you don't care about CnQ, I'd just try to make 20x200 stable and not have wierd HT/CPU-NB frequencies.

That didnt take long wink.gif ...I'll prime test it tonight.
However I noticed after rotating my cooler my temps are a bit higher, even at idle. Im thinking I may have botched the thermal paste application. Might re-do that before I prime test more.

Hey guys, OC newbie here, finally got a decent enough cooler to OC on my new(ish) build.

Got my 960T to 4.0GHz, ran 3 hours of OCCT no errors. I overclocked through my mobo (ASRock 870 R2.0). It did take 1.45V to get it stable, and that's where my question comes in. Is that voltage too high?

It never got above 57C when stress testing it, usually hung around 52-54C.

Here's my CPUID (everything outside of clock and voltage I left stock - it does show 1.4V instead of 1.45V which is weird, but OCCT got to 1.45 during the stress test):

(I also turned off Cool N' Quiet and Turbo)

Seems a bit high to me, my 960T could do 4ghz@1.25v, but then again each chip is different. I currently have a chip that unlocked to x6 and is currently 4ghz@1.375. Its running prime right now, hopefully it is stable.

So I just re-checked and the mobo is actually at 1.425, not 1.45. I did try lower voltages, but I got blue screens after only 10-15 minutes on OCCT until I got it to 1.425.

Is the voltage so high that I'm risking having my chip die early (say, within the next 3 years)? If so, can any of the other settings be tweaked to get it stable with lower voltage?

Oh, and one other question, anyone know why CPUID reads 3991 instead of the full 4000? Is that just a mobo quirk?

Unless your running your chip on full load 24/7, I doubt you'll kill your chip early. It may shorten its lifespan but I doubt it'll die in 3 years.

I heard using a lower multiplier and just raising the FSB helps but I don't have much experience with that. Definitely give it a try though.

Well my mobo reads my core speed as 4013MHz, so I'm guessing it may be a motherboard thing. I remember my old AM3 biostar board read the core speed as 3999MHz so I wouldnt worry about it.

Why only on 2 cores though? Just for experimentation?
I think I've finally decided with my 8+1 phase board I'm going to run a 24/7 overclock with just my multiplier after advice from 2thache. I'm already over-doing it really for gaming considering I'm only running a gtx 550ti for my gpu right now. Thinking for lowest temps I'm going to run 3.8ghz at 1.40v. Maybe 1.39v if it's stable. Til I get liquid cooling and a higher performing gpu. At which time I want to try for a 24/7 overclock at 4ghz or 4.1 biggrin.gif

Yep it is just for experimentation, 8+2 would be a good thing for OCing. 3.8 is a sweet spot for the 960. Max voltage should be 1.5 - 1.55v but that would also depend on how high the temps get during load.
heck gigabyte asked me yesterday when I went to replace the 880gm-usb3 due to RTC issues which board do I want for this one damn I should asked for a 990fx smile.gif but I got the same model and it's working fine now. Actually this system is going to be my linux server once v get the 4170 in India. the 960t will go back to my old asus mobo.

touched 4.4 same volt
