Hi guys, i overclocked my 2500K to 4.6Ghz but i am facing some problem when running LinX & Intel Burn Test

RAM Frequency:: 2133Mhz
VCORE:: 1.4
DRAM:: 1.65
others voltages are set to auto

Prime95 Max Temps
In-place FFTs :: 78C(MAX)
Blend Test:: 77-78C(MAX)

LinX test
Problem Size: 30600
Memory : 7168
Run: 20 Times

Intel Burn Test
Time to run :: 20
Stress Level:: Maximum
Threads:: All

i get error 0x101 & 0x124, which if im not mistaken means increase VCORE, but VCORE is already @ 1.4V, isnt it high for a 4.6Ghz OC, i have been keeping this setting for 2 weeks now, no problem until i encountered some lagging issues while playing FIFA, previously it was fine, even at stock setting FIFA runs smoothly. So i tested with LinX & Intel Burn Test, got blue screen redi with 2 types or error codes . Max temps for LinX before blue screen was 82c & 80c for intel burn test. I am really confused with where i am doing it wrongly, guide needed pls

the code is 0x101 & 0x124, i increased to 1.43V and runned intel burn test
Set:20
Stress Level: High (2048MB)
All Thread.


temps are rocketing to 86c on my CORE 2 bro. How bout PLL voltage its auto currently.

Bro now no BSOD redi, intel burn test results as below:-

Settings:: HIGH


Settings:: VERY HIGH


i get a stable GFlops for both this test, but for my LinX i get around 60-70 GFlops, is it normal?. In addition i still get some very minor lag while playing FIFA

My Current OC Setting::



DRAM Voltage: 1.65v

Ya im using the LinX posted in 1st post with Win7 SP1. Maybe increase Vcore a little more? currently @ 1.425v

Sorry for the low resolution screenshots bro my bad bro aniway i ran LinX again yesterday increasing Vcore to 1.43. Increased GFlop around 130GF, but dropped again halfway, so i guess i am facing performance drop.



I dont get any warnings except for CPU. It always shows up a pop up "CPU 71-74 Centigrade".
This warning is intended for the CPU temps right?. Below is the screenshot showing the warning in ASUS AI Suite



performance drop because of high CPU temps?

Sure bro, will do that and get back to you

Bro Owikh, i upped Vcore abit to 1.435, ran LinX and got a constant GFlop values



so is my OC a pass nw? Btw 1.435 for 24/7 use safe for a 4.6Ghz OC or too high? so far lower Vcore gives lower results in LinX

Thx for all the guide Owikh bro without yr advise would be still lost niway bro still have some idea too push the CPU a little further, not now but maybe in few weeks times. Now planning to really check the stability and if possible further fine tune the settings if possible. Btw bro js a little doubt, if the GFlops are fine will there be any chance of me to face any lag or stutter when playing games? I tried playing borderlands 2, Counter Strike Online, NFS Most Wanted 2012 all fine....but my fifa face some kind of stutter every now and then its been happening recently but can OC have any potential chance to cause any lag? Cause OC is meant to remove the bottleneck we often face right?

Bro 82c when running stress tests are still fine, as quoted by Owikh bro as long the temps stays below 98c its ok cause during our usage temps are not often pushed to extreme height. For me when gaming my temps are around 68c MAX, and during stress test it reaches around 87c so in your case the temps might be slightly lower during your usage. Another thing is, are you running your Thermaltake 2.0 with Push & Pull fan configuration>

How much the temps will hit if you are stressing without the aircond turned on? Are you planning to increase your OC to higher clocks? For and i7 i see your temps are ok bro

than your fine bro, no problem for your daily usage. Enjoy your speed, This cooler is just fine plus your aircond is there so confirm will turn on most of the time, chill bro

Np bro, have fun cheers
