Ok so I decided after sitting at 3.6ghz for a long time to start to push higher, my old CPU cooler wasn't quite up to the task to I picked up the Corsair H50 yesterday and got it installed, temps are great now but I cant get past 3.7ghz stable, I tried 3.8 and took the voltage incrementally to 1.5v and had a reboot (no bsod, just a black screen and reboot) at every stop along the way, I want 3.8ghz-4ghz but not fiery explosion bad.
Stats are in my sig, currently sitting at 3.7ghz @ 1.425v which I think is the lowest voltage I can go and keep 3.7 stable. Ambient temp is about 22°c, processor is idling at 32°c and hitting about 45°c at load on prime. Any expert tricks to push to the next level or have I reached a point that if voltage wont take me there nothing will?
Any knowledge you could pass my direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
