Bro owikh said below 90C.

okie, will grab a cooler tonite and start oc...hehe

I'm easily getting above 90 C with linpack OCCT with i5 2500k @4.5ghz(1.32 v)

what am I doing wrong?

What cooling u on? For me, I'm using Hyper 212 Plus with dual fans, 96C when stress test with Prime95.

Btw I'm on 4.9 GHz and 1.4 V.

I'm using xigmatek balder...should be ok wat?

i'm now stressing my cpu with linx. i saw in cpu-z my clock speed downclock to stock and back to oc sometime .....is tat normal?

Normal if u turn ON power saving feature ie. Speedstep (EIST), C1E, C3, C6.
Turn OFF to stay at set clock.

tq bro. i'm now running 500 rounds linx to ensure the stability before oc higher, will turn off those features after tis test. can u tell me is my temp acceptable so far?

Wa 500 runs. 20 runs are ok bro.

i try raise to 48x but it can't boot into window, stay at black screen with a '_' blinking...wat is the thing i need to reset?

What u mean reset?

ok temps is fine. Just that the RAM capacity u stressed was too little.
Select "all" to stress all the available RAM.

In BIOS CPU features turn ON CPU PLL Overvolting option.

Bro owikh, stock PLL is 1.8 and I lower to 1.65 is it ok?

tqvm for the guide bro. now i'm able to boot into windows and stressing at 48x...will update screenie later...

should be okay. My PC will shutdown suddenly if set below 1.55v.
CPU PLL doesnt really affect OC just the temp might be reduced abit but hardly noticeable.

no luck on 48x, vcore offset 1.4v, cpu ppl on but freeze after few rounds of linx...

To name a few possibilities that lead to the failure:
1) insufficient voltage: vcore? vtt? dimm?
2) wrong RAM timing: too tighten vs vdimm/vtt - run memtest see

But since u said LinX passed at 47x or lower clock at the same RAM settings so the 1st possibility is more relevant.

I curious i5 2500K generate same heat as i7 2600K at same speed?

raised vcore to 1.4, vtt to 1.15, dimm to 1.65, testing now.....

Btw what cooling u using?
