anyone know alienwares warranty on overclocking?

well that was fast...dentnu. 

they help stabilize a higher over clock. your still at 4.5...

lol
mah bad!
i apologize!!

These are the final setting I tryed before I called it quits as I always either get a crash in CPU test 1 or CPU test 2.I did not keep pushing on my core voltage as I don't know if it will be safe anything above where I had it at .

Got any other suggestions ? ? ?

thanks will try that now

@Halo:  You da Man!  #5 all time 295!  Great Job man!  Actually really #6 since John's score never showed up when MODSRIGS converted over to the new system.  Excellent!
 
@DENTNU:  Since you're crashing cpu#2, downclock your GPU a bit to take it out of the equation.   Or better yet, run without physx enabled.
 
I would also drop all voltages to auto except for vcore, vdimm (1.65), & vtt (+200).  Now, I'd usually tell you to go through the motions of thoroughly testing IMC (uncore), Core, and RAM, since they're all connected to blck, and any one of those weak links can blow our overclock.....  
 
But, I'm not going to do that...time to short cut and get some results.  I got my 960 up to 192blck on water (albeit cooled with outside "winter" air), but I needed a boat load of vcore (1.65).  So I think 1.5 is maybe too low...kick it up to 1.55v @blck of 189.  Since you're @ -40c, no need to even worry about vcore being too high, so kick it up.  Run the vantage CPU tests only.  Keep increasing blck and voltage. Let us know what blck you're at when you hit 1.65v.

well I was about to give up till I read your post  that last part were you say to let you know when I hit VCore 1.65v my mouth drop completely are you sure its safe to even reach that high on Vcore even on phase ?  I don't want to have a dead CPU as I have no money for a new one lol.The highest I have gotten on vcore was 1.543 I am going to keep pushing see what happen I just hope I don't have a dead CPU as that would suck 

Thanks for the advice to you and everyone thats has helped me so far.

 
hehe...gets your blood pumping doesn't it, lol.  And keep in mind, this is benching volts, not 24/7.  I'm sure you already know that.  Risk=Reward.  We just make sure our risk is calculated.....as such, you'll be fine at -40c.
 
In the end it's your call, but that's what I would do.

Yea I know its for benching but  it got my blood pumping that for sure LOL. I am going to do it I just hope I don't see smoke coming out of my case lol 
 
BTW Thanks for all the help 

i was looking at halo's list...he would be 6 if i put my 295 back up...lol
 
good call Q56. he is on phase, so  was trying to get him to let go of that 1.45V and move on up....hahaha
 
 
great job dentnu!

pictures says bandwidth succeeded....we cant see it...

johnksss

pictures says bandwidth succeeded....we cant see it...

Yea I fixed it now my bad just noticed that have no idea why I exceed my bandwidth had to put it in Flicker. Well I am going to start pushing more

EDIT: Quick question I modded my 580 voltage so it can go to  Max 1.213V. My question is whats the Max Safe voltage I could use while I am on air ?

That all depends on your temp. As long as they are fine, you are good.

BTW, Dentnu, how did you confirm -40c operation on your SS?  realtemp reads -7c, which I'm assuming is at idle.  If you're at -40C, I think it should read around -15c.  You're still sufficiently cold to be pushing high voltage/clocks, but I was just curious.

Q56_Monster 

Dentnu, did you get the fan speed modified to 100% too?  That will help.  Just go up a bit at a time on the GPU...keep increasing core by 10mhz until fail.  Then add some voltage.  I'm not sure you'll be able to make it up to 1.213 on air...the screen might just go blank (grey/blue/green) during testing if the voltage is too high.  You'll need water cooling if that is happening.  Flip machine off immediately (power switch) if screen goes weird on you.... 

1.2 won't kill anything, but I'm almost certain you won't be able to get there on air. 

Great job on the CPU!  

 
 
Thanks to you I finally found out what that blue,gray screen meant. I was having a hard time getting 740/1880/2200 fan 85% @ 1150mv Fan or above stable as sometimes it would pass the whole benchmark other times I kept getting a gray screen almost at the end of Jane Ash. SO I modded my bios fan to hit 100% fan and lowered the voltage to 1138mv and it works perfectly.  
 
Here is the end results

I am now going to raise my cpu more and see if I can hit 750 or above with my video card. . .

Here is another run Still at 4.7 and 940 core
