CPU GHz question

Lucas said:
Ok, thank you, but do you think that they will be good for my i5 2500K?

Yes. There are some components missing from the i5, but the Guides are still usable. All you have to do is print them, and go into the BIOS - you will then see all of this. If anything looks strange, or you don't understand it - just Google for the overclocking forums, and either find the answer or ask someone.

Okay folks.
Since I started this thread, I have tried to overclock my maching from orginal 3.5 to 4.7
I have been flying my FSX in DX10 at 4.5 for about a month now at a stable environment.

Although I have yet flown my FSX under 4.7 (since I just tried this boost this morning),
I have now achieved the attached results.

Intel Burn Test with stress level at high and running it 15 runs
with the success message appearing at the end.

I have set my vcore at 1.470V to achieve this result. When lowered to 1.460V,
I would get BSOD during my Intel Burn Test (high stress level at about run #6).

My worry is that my CPU temp goes up to about 95 degrees (although not during the whole test)
when using my Intel Burn Test.

Of note, my current CPU temp (just using the web browser to type this) is around 40 degrees
but my Core speed is spooled down to 1.6GHz.

Are these indications that my PC is stable now at 4.7GHz?

(I have liquid cooling by the way)

Improved results to my previous setup.
Instead of having my vcore "fixed", I've now switched to "offset" and now
my vcore temp is lower around 1.38V instead of 1.46V.
With Intel Burn test, CPU temp goes up to 91 degrees but never 96.

I've test flown my NGX for a 2 hour flight and no problems.
Monitoring CPU temp, it stays between mid 60's to mid 70's degrees
most of the time, with a max at 82 degrees.

Will now fly with my new 4.7GHz setting for a while.
Different weather at different time/day setting to compare pre and post
4.7, nicely smoother at higher clock speed at least today's flight.
