ok fuckers time to help me out a bit here.


What temps should the CPU stay under?

Also, I know there is a few options in the BIOS that I seen some of you guys disable, don't know if it is motherboard related or just Socket 1366 related, so any help is appreciated :)

Last run before bed, I have an early job tomorrow :).

This is with HT disable, It would jump back to x20 if I have HT on, any idea why?

I got "Thermal Monitor" (this is the option that limit TDP) disabled in bios, an all the Intel energy saving option.

water or TRUE. thats your only options man. trust me.... anything less will suck balls.

what is a TRUE????

I will be going water, but not until I get paid again, can't get the block and mount kit now.

I was hoping to maybe get away with a few MHz overclock on the stock cooler, think its possible? I haven't messed with it yet as lots of new things and terms in the BIOS I am not familiar with.

i have found that at low OC(stock - 3.8ghz) HT can be enabled and run fine.

however, high OC(3.8+) it is very hard to get stability with HT enabled. as soon as i turned it off it was almost instant stability.

HT needs a TON of voltage over 3.8ghz. i think HT reaches past the limit of the 920 and 940's QPI bandwidth but the 965 has alot more room for it to run without problems.

3.6 is OK but watch the temps man. you might open a window and use some extra fans. 3.6 is doable at 1.3v max, 1.26v has run 3.6 for me.


TRUE... ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme.

THanks bro, there is just soo many BIOS options, that I dont know what to start setting. Is there anything I should be disabling in the BIOS?

Also, what do you suggest I just mess with in the BIOS for now?

i'd leave everything on auto till you figure it out a bit. you may read up on what it all means. i have posted a few VERY informative posts throughout this thread. you may read back through it and see what you can learn.

its not really a whole lot different, just different names and a tad bit different to OC.

start by raising the bclk a bit and see how far you can get on auto. i can boot 4ghz on auto but its not quite benchable.

you can also look to see if your bios will tell you what voltages its using when oced.

x21 or TURBO will disable at 60C or above on any of the cores.

You need to go to power management and switch to high performance mode. I think.

That's not how it works in our bios. Turn off C-1 and C-stepping variants.
