Get yourself a copy of IBT and watch your rig implode. Near on impossible for your rig to 100% stable with that kind of OC.

Oops. Sorry for the confusion. I have C1E enabled. That's why the voltage is so low at idle. Here's a picture of CPU-Z at 100% load.

Those temps are a bit high ! Dont you have a custom cooler ?

Just installed a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 a few hours ago. Those temps were taken right after it was installed. Been watching them since and while gaming they aren't getting over 55.

Been fooling around with some settings. Have only been able to get back up to 3.8 stable with a lower core voltage which reduced temperatures by 10 degrees.

Just started Prime95 up.

Finally hit 4GHz on air on my Q9550 with 8GB RAM after upping the PLL and VTT voltages.

Vcore is stable, LLC enabled and I'm on an EP45-UD3P mobo which is well known for reliable and accurate voltages.

True120 cooler btw with Akasa 120mm PWN fan controlled by Gigabyte ET6 software (auto mode).

My room is hot anyway and my GTX460 (Asus Top edition) does pump around some heat as well. Lian-Li case btw and all my fans are set for quiet operation instead of speed, they only ramp up during gaming.

I have successfully managed to stabilize my first overclock, that after doing some reading.

The question is: can I get more than 3GHz speed? I tried other combinations but they don't seem to get any stability at all. Some opinions would be highly appreciated! :)

This one is for MB ref speed, Socket 754/NF4 chipset, currently the #2 all time ref speed in the world for Socket 754 and was the previous world record.

Intel Pentium E2160 1.8 GHz @ 3.0 GHz

Video cards I don't really believe in overclocking since the performance gain has been so minimal for me, even with a pretty significant overclock, so that's stock. XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Alpha Dog Edition.

http://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=28711 (if you click on my 3dmark Vantage score it will show added spec of my pc)

i5 25k running at 4.2ghz

Corsair H60 (with dual fans)

2x GTX 560 TI fermi @950 clock speed, 1900 shader, 2106 memory

    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
