Overclocking = WTF

Hi guys. So I bought this “THING” I call it a thing because I said %*&#@ thing all morning.
Its a Coolermaster V10 (pic below last pics) Please understand that I am so far away from knowing anything about anything re Overclocking/tweaking that I need a map to remember where the power button is (exaggerated yes)
I have a …
GA-X58A-UD7 Motherboard
Intel i7950
6GB OCZ 2000mhz Cas9. Coolermaster real power pro 850W
So the “THING” is a coolermaster V10. Don’t believe the hype it was a dream to install and clears my ram easily. It also allows room for the stock heat-sink cooler that came with the board. It all fits very nicely into my Gigabyte Aurora case which I thought I got sick of and was about to spend $ on a new case but now I am liking it all over again. I also thought I would have to buy a new PSU but I dont think I need to. It is powering
2 x SATA Burners
6 x HDD (main Velociraptor 300gb)
2 x EXT HDD
(Total HDD space 4.5TB)
V10
2 x 9800 GTX+ video cards attached to 4 monitors and more usb peripherals than you can poke a stick at. So I think it might be all good. The 850 works but the cables are stiff, thick and horrible to hide/work with.
I have tried the Overclocking, remember I know nothing so I used easytune. (images below)
Can anyone read the images and tell me if this is good? The temperature/overclock factor does it seem right? I want to learn but it takes me longer due to the self abuse with beer for 25 years (yes I have mild brain damage so its hard to remember new things I learn:coocoo:)
Anyone with knowledge of any mistakes I am making so far, please be kind and tell me? Cheers guys.


I was really stressing the PC useing PS CS4 with a few images loaded/rendering (2GB images) running a movie and I arked up CRYSIS on full, email, browser etc all running at once for 10 min before I took a screenshot of the temps if thats at all relevant





Answer #1
you have built up a nice righ. and you ought be able to get a nice overclock out of that chip. i have a qx9650 (3ghz) running @ 4ghz with a 12x multi bios oc and idle around 24-25 even with light cpu use (surfin and listen to music and such) 38-40 after hours of gaming and thats on my v10. enjoy your rig bro
