hi all bros..
just bought my first PC and first time overclocking..
does this looks like a safe config?
have been running the prime for 30 mins, passed the first 576k self test..
have not touch the ram yet.. still learning..
been reading this forum from 1st page, scared to ask..
really appreciated ur advised..

@owikh84
thanks for da tips bro..

so far how high can i5 2500k go?
i wanna try as high as it can with air cooled..
before trying a custom WC..
will go for 4.8ghz tonite and see..

i see.. i just bought the pc last week..
doesn't really know what to do with till i read about OCs at this thread..
OC is very addictive! just installed noctua d-14 last nite..
right now still i'm playing around with the CPU..
can't wait see how far it can go..

still doesn't really understand how OC in ram works.. what is the main target to achieve in OC ram?

ooo.. more toward the numbers..
but what about performance? does it really shows after OCed?

dear bros..
kindly advised anything that can be improve?
i tried at 4.74GHz but then blue screen at 15th loop (linx)
sorry for the annoyance..
current vcore is: 1.332

does 1.34 or 1.35 considered safe bro?

bro owikh84,

i increased the vcore to 1.364v little by little..
and finally manage to run run Linx @ 20 loops..
below is the SS:



will try running Prime till next morning later tonite..
does the temperature considered to be safe bro?
anything else i can improve?
thanks in advance!

i give up trying my 2500k at 4.8GHz..
the temperature when crazy when running prime for 40 mins.
this mobo only allow me to enter vcore voltage by this format:
0.01, 0.02, 0.03

does 0.015v make a noticeable difference compared to 0.01v bro?
