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.

I am going to call  it a night you guys as its kinda late where I live and got to wake up early tomorrow. thanks for all the help but I will be back in about 8 hours and continue I am determine to see if I can finally reach a higher stable CPU clock and with all you guys helping me I am sure it will be possiable.
 
Thanks and Good Night

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

THANKS

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!

johnksss

i was looking at halo's list...he would be 6 if i put my 295 back up...lol

 
Yep I had to think about it too lol.
