K, I got a BSOD of 101 and 1A. As i understand it, 1A is a memory management problem.

I was up to IMC 1.22 when this happened, after a few passes of Linx. It gave me the 1A after I rebooted, going into Windows.

I'm down to 1.16 now

Edit: Now have IMC up to 1.3, where we originally started. Now I get more crap.

BSOD's:
0x0124 (known)
0x01A
0x0101
0x0A
0x03B

Windows otherwise works fine until I put Linx to it.

I also have a i5, but 750, and I'm following this for when I try to put OC it to 4GHz this weekend. Just to make it clear, are you trying to OC to 4GHz or 4.2GHz?
Good luck with that

 

[MindoverMaster]

I was fine with 4GHz, but Soul made me stretch for 4.2.

I'll see if lowering the multiplier to 20, and lowering the voltages, becomes more stable.

Edit: Yeah, I lowered the multiplier to 20. Set CPU voltage to 1.325, IMC to 1.3. I'll continue modifying that, see how far i can get down on the volts. on 4.01316Ghz now.

For how long you're testing with linx? At least one hour no?

 

[MindoverMaster]

I currently do it with 20 passes. That is when I had BSODs earlier.
It would BSOD randomly.

Once you get it fine tuned, getting close to home, then you would do longer lapses.

 

[farinha]

Ok. So you have it at 4GHz with Slay settings right?

 

[MindoverMaster]

Yeah, I'm currently lowering the CPU Voltage by 0.00625 and IMC Voltage by 0.2 after each Linx 20 pass run.

See how low I can get and still be safe.

 

[farinha]

Ok. Let me know how you end up
Sorry for all the questions but trying to keep up, Don't know much about OC

 

[MindoverMaster]

Alrighty, after a 30 minute run with no errors, my settings are:

CPU ratio (multiplier): 20
CPU Voltage: 1.29375v
ICM: 1.22v

i5 760 @ 4.01318MHz

I think this is a very safe voltage range. According to Slay.

Ask away, dude!

WOW, I have no clue what you guys are talking about, but It sounds interesting. Is this done to upgrade your processor speed? Sorry to be such a newbie, but this is how Ill have to learn.

Questions:

Do you change clock speed to help with graphics/performance
Is this something for the novice to understand/try
Is it necesary when upgrading for gaming
can it be done on any computer
