Been working on a friends pc.
Parts are OCZ 2x2GB 1600 8-8-8-24 1.9V
965
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
I left everything on auto(well I started up in auto took readings and set those in the bios so it didn't try to add more voltage to other parts)
Ram was at 1066
NB at 2000
HT Link 2000
What is the best "Quick test" to run for trying out the OC? I was using prime 95 max fpu(dunno if I should try another test or software for a quick stability check) Plan to run prime 95 blend over night once we are finished
Getting to 3.6 took no effort.
3.8 Required 1.5V to run more than 10min on prime95(Manually stopped the workers)
couldn't get prime95 to run more than a few seconds at 3.9 with 1.53V.
I was just increasing the multiplier to get to this
Then I increased the cpu bus, and got 3.85 running for over 10 min(Manually stopped the test)
Not sure if another technique could yield better results but open to suggestions..
Also temps where fine, AOD and hardware monitor reported temps below 51 at 1.53V
Next we are OC'ing the NB, going to do some tests at 2600, 2800, 3000 and going to test the ram at 1333 and 1600 and see which gives better results, I read a post earlier showing 1333 outperforming 1600.
Any suggestions on the cpu or is 3.85 going to be the max
