Hello, I just found an Asus Rampage III Formula motherboard (with one of black ram slots not working) and i7 950 for 420 TRY (110$). Would buying these parts make sense? Is it an acceptable upgrade from my A10-7850K? I have 3*4 12 GB DDR3 RAM, R7 260X GPU.
Timelapse to 3.4 GHz:
After my Gammaxx 200 disaster, I bought Hyper T4 and overclocked my Q8400 to 3.55 GHz! Here are final BIOS settings:
Here are AIDA64 Stablity Test Results:
Thank you all guys! I researched a bit and figured out that 70C is safe. When I got money I will buy 2nd fan.
I own one of these but I cool down myself in a non-AC room :D
Here's my setup.
Here are my Idle stats:
Here are my 10 min stablity test results:
Is there something wrong? I hit 70C. I have never overclocked. My specs are on my "system specs" dropdown menu. Its "2nd System"
But it gets too hot on idle when i set Auto Fan.
With a speed of %50, I get 81C on 6min Furmark. I think I will stick with %50 fan.
Well i own a thermal paste (Zalman ZM-STG2) but i dont have compatible screwdriver. Mine just cant unscrew the card :(
