Re: [OC] New Machine Questions
Using the fps in Crysis as a measure of performance. I seem to get better fps when setting everything back to auto except the "Performance" tab which I set to "Extreme". Memory is running at 400 at 2:3 and timings are 5 5 5 15.Got 25-30 fps in Crysis with this. When I upped the fsb to 300(2.7ghz) the bios raised the vcore to 1.4 and my idle temps went from low to mid 30's to mid 40's and only got low 20's in Crysis. Should I worry about those temps or would it be better to manually set the vcore. I have no idea what to set the vcore at in order to keep it stable and not too hot. I see alot of people overclocking this chip. Would be nice if you could do it by just raising the fsb.

| I'd recommend going Here and following the overclocking instructions, it should get you a nice stable overclock as long as you take your time to verify stability. Following that guide you will get the most effecient baseline to start from (no OC just best setttings for stock) then get you a decent OC.

| Thanks for the link. It is very informative. I followed it and did the mild overclock. The machine ran stable but hot. During Crysis I had core temps of 55c. Too hot for my liking especially with a minimum gain in frame rates. I am using the stock cooling right now. I set the cpu back to stock speed of 2.4ghz but kept my memory at 1:1. Are those core temps in the 50's safe to run?
