Underwater... on the dark side... corei7 and win7

[Grisu]

Hi!

What can I say:
The AMD P2 X4 955 BE was sold out and so I switched to the dark side.
The next thing I remember, was water all around me and a stupid fish, that won't go away.



1.
I have set my ram to 1,333 Mhz (my default ram speed), no problems so far. Should I leave it that way and switch back to 1.066 Mhz, cause the cpu can't handle more?

2.
Can I set the QIP to 6400 or might this damage the cpu?

I'm no overclocker, I just want to fine-tune my system a bit...

Dont set it to 6.4, And i have to tell you that with decent FAN you could easily reach 3.6-7GHz , i am 24/7 4.2GHz with Noctua NH-U12P

No, I'm on Air Cooling, as my budget went low...

What are the bios settings to bring this thing to 3.2 ghz?
That should be reasonable....




I found a Koala RC Wallpaper... sexy...

I have mine running at 3.2 on a stock cooler and the memory running at 1333mhz when the tirbo kicks in My cpu jups to 3.4GHz

Have done dozens of tests. With the stock cooler and my room temperatue I can't get to 3.2 safely.

So I only went up to 2,80 ghz and reduced the vcore to 1.0 volts


When the Turbo kicks in the cpu goes to 2.97 ghz.


Thanks to Ghost for the help hotline...
