so im looking to get 3.8 on my i7 860 and wonder if i just change the cpu frequency to 185 and keep the rest of the settings thast this would work...????? and wondering if he has both cpu power pluged in on mother board/ what power suppy is he useing

ok so i did just that and i used prime95 to test and i let it go for 1 hour 20 min and there were no errors and will stress test it tonite untill tomorrow to see if it holds up which it should. i set the cpu frequency to 180 and used all of the same steps as the guide and my temp at idel is 31c  

hi  im use cool  water wc   p55 ftw 

Maybe someone can help me figure out why my WEI is so low where memory is concerned. I have adjusted my settings based on this guide. In looking for a safe air-cooled overclock, here are my settings.
 
bclock at 160.10 x 24.0
cpu is i5 650 @ 3.2 running at 3842.43
cpu voltage at 1.3
vtt voltage at 1.4
PCIE freq at 104
QPI freq at 4.270
mem freq at 1067 (2:8)
temps hover in the low 40's idle and upper 60's at peak load
intelburntest runs successful for five cycles under max load
 
All appears to be stable at this point, OEM air cooled. My WEI score doesn't appear to be right though. 
Processor 7.2
Memory 5.9
Graphics 7.6 EVGA 560TI
Hard Disk 5.9
 
The disk I understand, SSD is on the way. The memory seems low to me. I'm running 4GB 2x2GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 2000 CL9
 
Are my settings wrong on the memory?
 

Manually enter whatever your memory timings are and your voltge.Example my corsair specs are 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.65 volts.So on the memory page change from auto and manually enter your timings specified for your ram.Change the dimm voltage from auto to whatever your specs are, probably 1.65v but don't go over 1.65 volts on your board.To figure out your ram speed it will be your bclk x what your memory ratio is.Example bclk=200 and ratio is set to 2:8 so 200 x 8 = 1600 mhz. 2:10 ratio would be 2000 mhz. My memory is only rated at 1600 mhz so i would not be able to use the 2:10 ratio at a 200 bclk.

if you could post your bios settings would be helpful to others,To achieve my oc i followed miahallens 3 step guide and it worked great,just gotta be patient and follow the steps.That way it isolates whatever the problem is and you can figure it out from there instead of hit and miss messing around with voltages.I also found that when testing my new overclocks that i turn off aero theme and swith to basic,turn off any screensavers and change power scheme so display and pc never go to sleep mode.Ive had times when aero has changed the desktop was just enough to make my prime crash.

Hey guys I just moved my rig to my new p55 mobo that came in today. Before that my rig was oc'd to 3.8ghz, but I can't oc at all, if i even touch the bios my computer freaks out and won't even post. do I have a bad mobo?

Recently I put all my HW in a new case.
 
I followed this guide to OC a little - the max I am interested is ca 3.6GHz for my i5 750 + p55 SLI and I have a weird issue...
All the setting are fine, but from my previous attempt, the bus speed is stuck at 143Mhz, I can change every single other setting in BIOS, but this one is stuck, the +/- keys don't work, I can not press enter.
 
Honestly, I am hoping that I don't have reset the BIOS and set everything again, but I guess I might have to?
 
IF I reset the setting, will I be able to load them from a saved profile?
Has EVGA released any BIOS updates, I never updated the BIOS since new...
 
Finally I am interested in keep all power savings features on and only a moderate overclock, would it make any significant difference performance wise to have say CPU at 19x 166 vs 20 x 157 - ie CPU has the same speed but everything else is either a bit faster or slower?

Hello i am new to overclocking the intel chip i have the intel i5 750 and the corsair h100 in push pull setup on the evga p55 sli mobo and was wandering if someone could list all the settings i need to set to run my i5 at 4ghz please and thank you

Your new to overclocking and you want to jump right up to 4GHz? My advice...take your time and learn what overclocking is all about. Not all chips overclock the same. Start with a modest overclock and see how that works. Test it...load it...what kind of temps are you getting...how stable is your computer? For me 3.8 was as high as I could go. I could run some benchmarks at 4.0, but my temps were just to high to be comfortable with. I really saw no benifit from running my i5 at 3.8 in the end, and found 3.2 to be the sweet spot for myself, as it allowed me to keep the i5's Turboboost enabled.

hi  im use cool  water wc   p55 ftw 

How are your "High" temps so low with that high of voltage?
What is the room air temperature?
Mine is overclocked to 4.2 @1.250 without VDrop and it gets to 70-80C.
Im using Koolance 370 block with 2 - 480 Rads.
 

@buknoy  I also have E655, used this guide... I am running i7-870 @ 3.5Ghz with 160 clock and Corsair Vengeance @ 1600. Great guide...thank you.
