So I have a few questions with my new i5 650. I am trying to overclock and I was expecting more from the CPU I guess. Right now at 4ghz I score between 11k and 12k CPU score in 3Dvantage.
I believe this might be a little low.
I come from overclocking on just recently a i5 750 and i7 860. Both of those CPU's don't have some of the options as this one does.
For example on my i7 860 and i5 750 I had a choice between two QPI Frequency's 4.27GTs and 4.8Gts.
On the i5 650 I have like 5 or 6 choices. I am also worried that this setting is too low. Because right now at 4ghz I am having to set the QPI Frequency at 3.7Gts to get it to boot at 4ghz.
So I guess I am more wanting people to look over my screen shots here and give me advice on clocking this beast. Maybe you can all see what I am doing wrong and point it out.
I know as far as speed goes I can overclock this cpu up past 4.2Ghz Because I have set the clocks as far as that and never reached 60c even at max load.
Maybe I am just expecting too much of this CPU. But please any advice or maybe lessons on some of the settings with this CPU would be much appreciated.
Thanks.....
P.S. One other thing I have not tried lowering my voltages yet so.... these are not the final voltages at all for these speeds on this CPU.
