hey guys, just got my new HSF installed (arctic cooler) and now my temps dropped from roughly 42-idle, 53-load @ 3.2Ghz (8x400) with a vcore of 1.34 to 37-idle but unstable during torture test @ 3.4Gh (8x430) with a vcore of 1.45
i shooting for 3.6-3.8 on air (i think i've got about the best air cooling you can get) is that too high?
*the only reason for me to OC at this point is to be able to run my ram at it's highest and utilize it to it's full potential as it is where my system is being bottlenecked (or so i think).
would lowering the multiplier to 7x533mhz (3.7 Ghz) or 6x533mhz (3.2Ghz) help stability? how high can i safely set the vcore, how high should i let temps get?
I'm still new to OCing so any suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks.
