Helllo all. I just completed my first build and overclock.
Quick specs:
Tried overclocking to 4.2ghz at 1.150v--- got BSOD.
Got it OC'ed to 4.2 ghz @ 1.159v.
Seems stable for now.. It idles around 37deg celsius.
100% Load Max temp on single core is 80c.
100% Load Min temp on single core is 74c.
Ran Prime95 for 5-6 hours.
Kinda saddens me that I got a below average chip.
Oh well. I came along way-- since only a month ago- all I knew how to do was change out an SSD
