I'm trying to do this with my I7-3930K cpu but I don't think it's possible. Apparently one of the requirements to use AMT is the processor must support vPro and the 3930K doesn't. Strangely, the BIOS does have AMT enabled but I'm not sure what sense that makes if I can't even use it, at least...

What does the Suite have to do with it? I'm talking about the adjustments necessary for a successful overclock to 4.7 GHz from the BIOS. And I have the suite installed anyway, not that it matters.

So you mean if I was to reset my BIOS to factory default (out of the box settings), set the clock multiplier to x47 and the voltages, which I think are on Auto by default, it will be enough to run 4.7 GHz stable? If I recall, I couldn't go very high without adjusting the cpu voltage manually...

"I scaled back how much voltage it would add with clock speed." Not sure what you mean there. The voltage needs to be set by you manually if you're going to overclock that high. I'm running at 4.8 GHz and my voltage is I believe set to 1.38 in the bios, but it actually runs at 1.41 because I...

Can someone tell me or verify if their post screen shows 4600 MHz if yours is overclocked to 4.6 GHz? I have mine overclocked to 4.60 GHz (x38 multiplier * 121 BCLK) and cpu-z shows 4600 MHz for core #0. So I think I'm running at 4.60 GHz...but I'm running some benchmarks in comparison to...

And how did you "get all the air out of your block?" That's a significant reduction in temps. Hard to believe almost. I wonder if that's something I can do with the H80 cooler...or H100 I plan on getting instead. I use the same thermal paste at least :-/ I have only one that runs 10C cooler...

Ok. I changed motherboards. I now have the Sabertooth x79 and things are MUCH better. It took me a while but I finally figured out how to OC on this board. I didn't realize that the speed shown at the post (4000MHz in my case) is not the real cpu speed. I went into windows & fired up CPU-Z and...

As soon as I bump up the multiplier, even if just by one, it won't post! So, if I change it from 32x to just 33 it won't post anymore and I have to clear the cmos. Today however, I bought the sabertooth...one of them is going back and I think it'll be the gigabyte. I find the sabertooth less...

I was wondering if someone has good experience overclocking, especially on this mobo and cpu. For the life of me I can't get it to overclock, at all! Stock speed is 3.20 GHz...with turbo boost on by default it goes to 3.50 GHz...if I go beyond that it fails to post. I've read others able to...

Yikes. You know you have an old pc when you're the last one to post a message here and its date is a year and a half old. Nevertheless, my p5e-vm hdmi and q6600 has proven to be a very powerful system for my needs. I have a strange problem with it. I've got a few random BSOD's lately so I...

No worries. I often find myself relieved when I've been working on something for so long to finally have it over and done with. So much less stress and more time. So I think I'll abort my little project and leave it at 3.66 GHz. Saves me some time. Though I wish I'd know exactly what to do...

NichoTL: Hey there! Long time no chat. Not sure if you remember me. It's been just over a year since I last logged on. I haven't been doing anything with my hardware since last time. I've been pretty busy with life...moved a couple of times from a home to apt and back to a home last week so...

Ahh. I may have misunderstood those stats. When I disabled my pagefile completely it says 8099M for total page file...which is about 8GB and that would be correct if it's only including my physical ram. The only discrepancy then is the graphical box shows 2.78GB (after disabling pagefile...

Can someone tell me why Task Manager shows that my page file size is 4219M / 13199M? I'm not sure what the 13199M means (max?) but I assume the 4219M is my actual pagefile size. It seems that regardless of what I set my pagefile size to be, it's always the same. I currently have it set to...

My decision is based on the results I've got. I'm quite sure I haven't missed anything. Like bing pointed out above: "<< [exhaust fan ] << [hs ] << [hs fan] << [ front fan (optional)] << cool fresh air" and that's just how I had it but the result was totally surprising to me too. I...
