kinda intrigue how much the cheapest custom WC u have to fork?never play with WC maa... not so thick poketed...

my 24/7 4.0Ghz cost me about rm160 a month,just realize it when i got my bill today.. 300+ worth of bill for 2 month >_>
going to downclock it.. before was 70+ grass here i come 

thanks.
lyn member dblooi posted Gskill review using gd65. it could run at 2200mhz!

using prime95 to stress and everest to check the wattage during load the proc consume max around 110W (2 core enable) while all core enable it goes above 200W+
idk whether everest is showing the true power consumption of the proc,someone can clarify this?
about all core enable and only 2 core enable,is it (mobo) really shutting down the other 2 core when we choose this option? does the mobo capable of doing this?

what cooler is good to buy with ~RM100-150?
plan to use it for core i5 750 with mild oc'ing ...e.g: not oc to 4ghz la.

as my siggy, how far do you think i can oc with a coolermaster hyper 212+????

well, basics i have in cpu, ram timing oc i'm still reading up about it.
balls, i have a pair to go for it, just wondering how far will it bring me with that cooler?

Sorry for late reply. We have checked with the relevant engineers, power consumption of CPU will be higher while overclocking, so the voltage will not lower even if system is under idle mode. You may see the six CPU Phase Leds all light. It's normal. Thanks!

That sounds pretty nice. Was installation difficult? Did u have to cabut the motherboard?
And did it come with TIM?

need to get cm hyper212+ asap ... my i5 750 with stock hsf hits 71'C at full load. lol ...

no air con, stock i5 2.66ghz, maybe it's the dust stuck on the heatsink, but it's not that thick also the dust.

yea, its really bang for buck. idle at low 30C and full load not reaching 60C on stock 860.

Just got a CM Hyper212+ for my i5 750.
Would love to go for better options than this but then budget (obviousy) & casing doesnt allow me to lah

Im quite happy with my hyper212. At stock speed 2.66Ghz & turbo on,
Stock cooler : 71-74'C
Hyper212+ : 55'C max
*running OCCT

But then I haven't test it with oc yet. dunno if my cheap ddr3 can oc how much. I'm just using mushkin ddr3 1333 ram. hehe. Again, low budget pc.

try running 10 loop with max allocated memory on IBT twice.
if there are no error then u are good to go,save alot of time though.

but IBT seem to be able to push only 50% of my processor...

do i need to open two IBT running instantaneously?

I had just realized that my i5 750 system is not even stable at stock speed with nothing else overclocked.
Bios settings : Vcore=1.25V, Vtt=1.1V, PCH=1.05V, VDDR3=1.5V
*turbo on, c1e & speedstep enabled. 

All set to default, it doesn't even pass occt 3.1.0, prime95, IBT v2.4, or superpi @ 2.66GHz stock speed. If it passes, it was just lucky. The vcore reading was 1.184V during load (4 cores turbo @ 2.8GHz) and max temp was 57'C on all the tests. There's no BSOD or system reboot though.

With IBT v2.4, it failed in 10 & 20 loops.
Seems like this proc is having a problem lah. My rig spec is as in my sig below.

crap i've shud've set it to 8 threads.silly me....auto WTF   

i've primed 20 hours got 1 error.hardware detection failure...huhuhuhu

gonna try IBT see how it goes....if IBT passed and prime95 got errors which is more accurate my fren?

UPDATES:

run IBT 20times maximum setting passed.hell primed failed 1thread IBT passed.WTF!!! 

otai sekalian, im having trouble to let my pc hit 3.8ghz, im now on 3.7ghz @ 1.25vcore. when i try set it to 3.8ghz @ 1.26vcore, prime95 just hangged at test1. im at 220block x 17multiplier.

is there little settings that i missed out?

im using p7p55d, my vtt is known as IMC right? cuz i can't find my vtt after such a long time.

Is there anyone here can get BCLK 230-233 on Core i3 530, what is the Vcore & VTT?

It seems I can't go more than 1.5 VTT... Can't boot, I just can do 4.05GHz 225x18 at 1.45 vtt & 1.4 vcore. Prime blend stable. Trying to lower em voltages. Any recommendation on good mobo that can pull off that 250 bclk trick? And what is the suggested QPI when running 225 bclk? I just pick the lowest currently.
