Its been a long time sence I've had time to overclock my rig. I had some free time tonight so I played around a little bit on my rig. The i7 930 and that water cooling was begging for a little bump

A few tweaks and I had it up to 4.2 but running a little hot. I adjusted things down to a nice even 4.0 and it runs cool enough, even while running through on Prime95

File Attachment:


and a 3dmark vantage score of 18793 with no overclock on the GPU

What did you use to overclock your CPU with? BIOS or software? If BIOS, what motherboard? (Image in your post just loaded, Gigabyte EX5 8-UD4P?)
Also, what temps are you running idle and load?

Interested to hear back!

I always use the BIOS, software is normally a little buggy

Idle 45 load 66

Sounds like a pretty nice rig. Good Job on the OC.

Heck, I still run a Athlon 64 X2 5400.:( I guess it does what I need, albeit a bit slow anymore.

I have changed the CPU to the x980 and its currently running at a slow 4.0. Its more than capable of much more, including the 4.4 that I had it at at one point.

4.4GHz!! pfft! We will never need more than 33MHz, 4MB RAM, and 500MB Hard Drives! Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool! ;)
