SB-E Overclocking Tips???

thebanik · #1 12-29-2011

There is a BYOC event in India from 6-8th Jan where I demonstrate LN2 Overclocking every year,

....And would finally be getting a chance to bench 3930K. Just wanted to know some quick and dirty steps to OC X79 platform, since havenot used it yet and I dont think I would be getting the hardware much ahead of the event. I would be mostly using Gigabyte UD5/UD3 or MSI GD65. Also what all benchmarks would benefit from the extra cores but less frequency???? Vantage? 3D11? Unigine?

yeah what he said lol.... also chip may stop scaling if too cold bro....

if you go a lil warmer you can actually gain frequency in some cases... too cold and the chip just gets stupid..
