General discussion based on Extreme Overclocking

While it is kind of a marketing piece for Gigabyte here is a good, descriptive article for total beginners complete with pics of board prep and such and an intro to HWBot. Just posted yesterday.

what software do you guys use in OS to change bios settings so you dont have to reboot?

i seen the gigabyte tweak launcher and im thinking similar to that, i just want to alter fsb without the damn reboots.

im chasing down 8k firestrike http://www.3dmark.com/fs/576182

so help would be appreciated


cpu tweaker looks ok. and i can adjust timings. rock on!

 

[FireKillerGR]

depends, what mobo do u have?

 

[d1nky]

asrock fatality.

ive just noticed your mate reboots a lot, thought on extreme temps thats a bad thing.

i just friggin hate rebooting because its slow lol

 

[FireKillerGR]

lol asrock doesnt have an utility for this reason? :O

try formula drive it may work

 

[d1nky]

so what benches is your mate doing today?

and the oc utility for this board doesnt pick upon vcore over 1.6v lol

 

[FireKillerGR]

lol, have u tried xtreme overvoltage from bios? turn it enable. It will help u give more voltage

he is trying his new 4770K and will bench the igpu for pro oc cup's stage 4.
Maybe he will try to run XTU as well
