Game temps on the cpu are about 45C max which is good and idle the cpu goes as low as 28.
Might try 3.2 later in the week
Sweet!
Your temps look very cool
BUT....
I forget to tell you.. Asus motherboard cpu temps can be off by 10C !!
prob ~7C on average (from what i have read)
You should overclock with that in mind...
With my mobo, after i updated to the latest bios, my temps increased by ~7C. This must mean they corrected it somewhat... Try updating your bios.. See if you temps go up. this
might give you a closer guide..
Set your max to be 55C is what i'd say.... still gives your 8C to play with..
Voltage gives more stability @ higher frequencies, but increases temps most!!
Only add extra if unstable..
>>What voltage does cpuz report when you run prime95???
your screenshot says 1.44 but under load that will drop..
You can increase the voltage safely @ the start.. upto 1.425v Intel even design the cpu to run withing a 5% margin.. Some chips, the rated variance in voltage is even greater.. (still 1.525v max for air cooling when overclocking)
Luck foward to see your results!
