I'm going to push my rig more when I get a new cooler.

How did you get it to show. I went through all the power managment stuff in the UEFI and could not get it to change. The clocks stayed at 4.7 GHz i ran prime last night for about 6 hours the blend test in core temp the max core hit about 89 90c. I think thats to high. I have a H80 Cooler its set to medium maybe i will put it on hight tonight.

But prime ran with no errors and no crashes. The voltage is set to auto on the CPU and it looks like its running at 1.32 should i lower it.

If this thread belongs somewhere else please show me how to move it.

I am liking my new rig. I was just so used to a regular BIOS and changing volatages and FSB speeds to achive an overclock i see its different now. Anyone out there with a sabertooth please help me

Either it's because your UEFI doesn't report overclocks to Windows (my old ASUS board doesn't) or maybe it will only show if you use Turbo to overclock your board.

Is that temp to high for the cooler i have

and correction on my last post the volatage shows in cpuz that its at 1.51V if you look at the picture about. I have it set to auto in the UEFI

You should try to stay under 1.425v unless your on water otherwise the chip can degrade fast, set you voltage manually you shouldn't need more than 1.35v for 4.5Ghz.

you need to take your cpu volts off auto. most likely the m/b is using too much voltage. I would set it at 1.4v and run a quick linx like 5 passes max memory. if linx passes run p-95 blend max memory. if you blue sceen with 0124 or 0101 raise your volts 1 step and p95 again. its a painstacking process as p95 takes forever but it is the best stability tester for SB

I put the core volt at 1.30 and ran prime for 2 hours blend test and no crashes. Now for my temps I just have to switch aroun the h80 to pull IN to the case rather push out so the top fans are the exhaust this is all running at 46 mulitplier giving me 4.6 ghz I wonder if I should go higher

[Victor Morales]

So i fixed my cooler and added 2 fans on the side of my cosmos II here are my temps running at 4.6GHZ @ 1.31 Volts should i go higher prime is still running for the past 2 hours
