Can this be correct?

Ok, I was told to up my CPU multiplyer to get a nice overclock. Well, I just uped the multiplyer from 13 to 13.5. My CPU speed is up from 2.61 to 2.71. Here's the thing though..................my cpu temp hasnt went up at all. This seems to good to be true! lol

So, is it safe to keep my multiplyer upped...........maybe even upped more?

It just seems like it shouldnt be this easy to get this much more performance. LOL

temperature only really increases noticeably with an increase in voltage. make sure your cpu is stable each time you up the multiplier by running prime95.

Well, I just tried to up from 13.5 to 14..........no go. My comp would POST, but wouldnt load the OS. Dang! I was hoping to get at least 14. LOL

you could just boost vcore. tell me what your current vcore setting is.

Where do I find the Vcore? Are you talking about the CPU Voltage? If so, it's 1.5v

Well, you can still take the vcore a little higher. Since you're dealing with such an expensive processor, make sure to keep the voltage below 1.6. You start risking frying the memory controller beyond that.

whats the smallest bump you can give the voltage. at 1.5v it should be safe to push it a little higher if you want to overclock a little further
