News/Guides/Concerns/OC attempts on i5-760 systems:
Main thread for all overclockers of 760. We have done the research for you. Although we can't stop you from doing more and sharing new ideas.
Thanks for everyone that will post here. This thread will surely help others in maximizing their chip faster and safer. But remember that overclocking results may vary from exactly two similiar systems. All depends on the behavior of your rig. Feel free to discuss or ask regarding the overclocking of i5-760.
Please make sure you have already read the guides of this forum on overclocking before asking.
Here are some external links that you would help you in overclocking i5-760:
1. 3 Step Overclocking guide - Lynnfield
NOTE: Some users experience OCCT to be unreliable/inaccurate in stability testing. To minimize CPU degradation(5yrs+ life), user must keep temps @65-70c normal usage, vcore not exceeding 1.35v. If you want to go further, it is ok but cpu life might not be longer as expected(3-5yrs life). The safe limits would be @85c during IBT max, 1.4v.
2. Motherboard must have LOTES socket for above 1.4Vcore
3. VCore, VTT, DRAM, PLL, PCH Explained
4. Intel Core i5-760 Technical Specifications
5. Stablity Testing: Many users have already experienced that running IBT @max for 20 loops is insufficient. It is best to run prime95 blend for 6-12 hours or depending on how long/frequent you use your computer. If you use it 24/7 then run prime95 for a day.
I welcome everyone especially those that have recently purchased their i5-760. The more info you give, the more you will be able to help others. Please do post the following:
1. Purpose or general usage of your rig.
2. CPUID CPU-Z (CPU and Memory) or a CPU-Z validated link
3. Stability tests (prime95 small/large/blend, IntelBurnTest, memtest86+, actual usage)
4. Temps(C) for idle and load (Real Temp 3.60) Voltages (HWMonitor)
5. Bios settings/screenshots
6. Benchmarks: 3DMark, PCMark, SuperPi, Aquamark, etc.
For the newbies, please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE (include post link) "No PM, no membership." I have a very busy schedule and cannot look at all pages everytime. NOTE: If I have not updated your most recent OC/specs/stability/link, please also send me a private message together with the permalink so I can easily find it. Thanks!
