  • Why did you put the CPU Multyplier to 8X and not 8.5X?? is there an difference??

  • for some reason the only way it would produce an 8.5 multi was to set something else in the bios so it would recognize it. It was N2 something... sorry really baked right now and its been some time since i been in the bios.

  • hi i oc my cpu to 3.6 and it shows this in this bios but in windows it does not show this nor does it show this on cpuz i have disable many features such as intel speedstepping but it still is not showing what have i done wrong?

    thnx

  • sounds to me like you went a little too high or messed up something in the settings. Your pc is probably underclocking to keep from cooking itself. Honestly without a lot of info i cant help. Try doing some forum research it helps a lot more then youtube.

  • OCCT stable for 2 hours it means you can use PC only 2 hours ?

  • OCCT puts more stress over 2 hours than prime at 12 hours. After this vid i ran occt for 24 hours. Which is a burn in test.

  • This video would be alright, if you didn't have that stupid logo blocking the screen. Maybe a little more detail about how you came up with certain numbers as well.

  • @fleckx Yeah, but where do i find that setting in the BIOS of the Nforce 790i? I can't find it..

  • @Merciless218 You just up the bus speed til it hits 3

  • @94prelude89 Why the heck didn't you just enable N/2 ratio? It's only function is to let you use the extra .5 multi LOL.

  • What would be the settings to overclock only to 3.0 Ghz?

  • followed every step of your guide but still my PC hansg after 45 to 1 hour don't know why :(

  • @cygod1 ur killing it. it should not go over 60c EVER .___.

  • Lol if i play max detail games my processor does 90 c it reached 97 today :P
