    Posted: 21 Apr 2012 at 5:43pm
I opted to get my system overclocked to stage two: 2600k - cooled by Noctua NH-D14, sitting in a Cooler Master 942 HAF X.  When I booted up the system for the first time and subsequently, the clock speed is showing 3.40Ghz.  I was told the overclock setting was 4.50Ghz (testing details email).  Is there something I am missing or neglecting to do?  Thanks for the help ...Big%20Smile

Hi spindrift....The overclock only kicks in whrn needed,when the cpu is stressed during a game for example.    Download cpu-z and run it while playing a game.   In the bottom left window the core speed will show the oc.    It will initially show as 3400Mhz then bump to 4500Mhx or so under stress.   Hope this helps.

bprat22:  Thanks for the quick response.  I will do just that.  Any benchmarking programs you'd recommend to get an idea of how my system compares to some current data; one that will stress my system enough to allow OCing to be factored into the results?  Thanks again. Big%20Smile

CINEBENCH,I think is one.   I' m not at my pc, so I'm working off memory     Go to DS home page and lower right hit DS blog   In there they have benchmarking programs to chdck out.     There is another I' ve used but can' t think of it off the top.    I'll look later.   Good luck.
