sorry im havign so many questions but hal;f my manuals are not the right ones or in english


Edit: okay, I just enabled OC genie II for now. It put it at 4.2ghz. That's good enough for me atm. IF i need more power, I can always manually OC on my own, right?


I'm running prime95 atm to stress it, and OC'd it's running cooler than my C2duo ran stock idle.

Should I leave this running over night to ensure stability?

What kind of voltage is it putting into the CPU? That is the one thing I do not like about those auto overclockers as they tend to use far too much.

Anything around 8 hours stability is good in my opinion. Some shoot for 24, but I don't like my computer going for that long.

CPU z says1.336V. Is that too much? because I can't figure out how to do it manually because my manual is not in english

After 40 mins it seemed to hang around 60 C with the mobo ~63C. Also, I haven't installed my side panel with 200mm fans so im sure it will drop another C or two

Edit: i did some reading and apparently that's rather high voltage = lots of heat = do it manually, But i cannot find a good guide to follow for my msi z68a-45 g3!!! Gahhhh idk what to do...

I found this guide but it's not for my mobo!!! http://www.overclock.net/t/963798/ms...w-and-oc-guide it says that the OC genie is not good though

[Bags]

Can I use an OC guide for another mobo than the z68?

[Goku]

Settings should be identical, so go for it. Only major difference between the Z68 and P67 is being to use the onboard graphics and Intel's SRT.

Wahaha!



This case is amazing. So glad I chose to get a new case.


Thougj... I expected things to work smoother with a new computer. Things freeze left and right, and my network card keeps not being detected.

At least my gaming performance is good.

Goku, what can I do to trouble shoot this? Windows Explorer is constantly freezing, as is firefox. They unfreeze after 10 -30 seconds, but this is a PITa...

Edit: npw I can't even get into my bios.

[Bags]

Update: reset bios using a screw driver. Underclocked my ram, everything seems to be working fine now.

[Bags]

Network card now does not work at all after trying to install new drivers.

I'm about to reformat at this point.
