Hello,
Being the proud owner of a Digital Storm System, I want to make sure I'm getting the best out of it, and will be for a long time. As such I wanted to make sure my Overclock settings were reasonable/optimal. I don't know very much about overclocking. My components are as follows: 2600K Maximus IV Extreme 8GB DDR3 RAM 2x GTX 570's I realize that every component is different, but they still live in the same ball park right? I currently am OC'd to 4.5 at 1.375 volts (all settings below). My system is stable and the maximum load temp on my cpu is somewhere between 74'-79'C depending on room temp. Like I said, I just wanted to make sure these settings were reasonable/optimal. If anything I want to err on the side of having this system for a long time than frying it. Here are the settings: CPU Level Up: Auto AI Overclock Tuner: Manual BCLK/PCIE Frequency: 100 Turbo Ratio: All Cores Mode Maximum Turbo Ratio: 45 Internal PLL Overvoltage: Auto Memory Frequency: DDR3-1600MHz Memory Bandwidth Booster: Disabled EPU Power Saving Mode: Disabled DRAM Timing Control Primary Timings CAS# Latency: 9 RAS# to CAS# Delay: 9 RAS# Pre Time: 9 RAS# ACT Time: 24 DRAM Command Mode: Auto All other Timings All values set to Auto CPU Performance Settings CPU Ratio: Auto Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology: Enabled Turbo Mode: Enabled Turbo Mode Parameters Maximum Power: Disabled All other values set to auto Digi+ VRM/Power Control VCORE PWM Mode: T.Probe VCORE MOS Volt Control: Auto VCORE Loadline Calibration: Auto VCORE Switching Frequency: Auto VCORE Phase Control: Extreme VCORE Overcurrent Protection: 100% VCORE EMI Reduction: Disabled VRM Overcurrent protection: Enabled VDRAM, VCCSA, VCCIO Overcurrent protection is Disabled for all All other values set to auto Extreme OV: Disabled CPU Voltage: Manual Mode CPU Manual Voltage: 1.375 DRAM Voltage: 1.65000 All other values set to auto Thank you for your help! |

IF your vcore is below 1.4, temps are below 85c and system is stable, your oc is good to go. if there was a problem you would have stability issues or heat issues.
