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

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
