OC Stability testing in easy steps (UPDATE ) This basic guide has been initially written with older 65/45nm generation dual and quad cores in mind. My recent upgrade to Z68 FTW Z77 FTW platform allowed me to introduce some more remarks ( in blue) for modern intel 5 and 6 series boards and Sandy/Ivy bridge chips and 600 series video cards (linked an excellent OCN article on 670 overclocking). CPU temperature monitoring When stress testing your system you should be closely monitoring temps, for this purpose I use my favorite Real Temps with appropriate TJunctionMax settings for CPU to monitor max temps during test on all cores. Best thing about it is giving you max temps on every core as well as actual temps, recorded maximum and minimum temps (with time when they occurred). C2Q Q9xxx use TJunctionMax=100 i7-2600K uses TJunctionMax=98 i7-3770K uses TJunctionmax=105 etc. ![]() Linx 0 64 Download mediafire links.

More of TJMax values for legacy chips here: You can get the latest RealTemp always from here: NOTE: 45nm quad core chips are worst in terms of reporting proper temperatures via DTS, sticking sensors, varying slope between cores etc. Core 2 Dual and Quad core chips (both 45 or 65nm) in general have a tendency of misreporting (or sticking) thermal sensors - DTS were designed to work correctly close to shutdown temps ~100C and not to indicate correct temps at idle. Check this link for complete RealTemp documentation and testing methodology: Please refer to CPU Cool Down test (RealTemp feature) to see how sensors are reacting in different temps generated by Prime95 load. Gazillionaire iii v3 06-te. Above link also covers paragraph called Calibration of sensors and is based on a method of running CPU @ 1.1V with multi 6x at standard (266MHz for 65nm chips and 333MHz for 45nm) FSB speed and comparing reported temps with ambient room temperature, adjusted by offset generated by used thermal solution. Such procedure will give you a good insight on how accurate your CPU thermal sensors are. For stability testing you need to use software designed for this purpose! Step 1 Stability of CPU only P67/Z68 users please refer to JacobF's thread on initial CPU OC'ing of those i5/i7 setups, will be much easier instead of reading below information which was initially written for older FSB setups: Z77 users please refer to JacobF's thread on initial CPU OC'ing based on 3770K: and refer to this thread to fix the multiplier downclocking under load (not the thermal throttling related!): P67/Z68/Z77 + 1155 SB/IB maximum 'considered safe' overvoltages: * CPU/vcore - 1.35v-1.4v (the lower, the better), 1.520V absolute max!!!
