Hello all,

I just built myself a new computer and now im trying to OC it. To try it first i decided to put the asus bios mode on optimal, wich gives me an automatic 4.4ghz OC.

1) Is this a good way to overclock ?

2) When i run prime95 here are the temps i get :


Core 0: Min: 26C Max: 65C
Core 1: Min: 27C Max: 72C
Core 2: Min: 28C Max: 67C
Core 3: Min: 29C Max: 68C

Are these good temps ? ( i dont know much about them) I have a Noctua nh-u12p se2 heatsink.

3) Can I push it more, with another software or manually ?

4) I get 1 error in prime95 when i run it for 1 hour, wha does this mean ?

Here are my specs :


i7 2600k
Ati hd 5770 saphire
P8z68-v gen 3 Asus MoBo
2x(4GB) 1600 Hyper-x kingston RAM
650W Cooler Master power supply
OCZ agility 3 120GB SSD
Noctua nh-u12p se2



Thank you very much for any help it's really appreciated

1. No, you have better control of your overclock when done manually.

2. I'd say decent (you didn't say what voltage is with your auto OC).

3. Yes, do it manually.

4. What's the timings and voltage on your RAM?

Follow my post in a previous thread to manually OC:
