OC & Modding Overclocking Problems ?

bltallama · Feb 23, 2013

I overclocked my E7500 to somewhere around 3.6 ghz though the system was stable but I saw a lot of artifacts while playing Crysis 2. But when I played at stock speeds artifacts were nowhere to be seen. Cooling and power supply shouldn't be a problem as I have CM hyper tx3 evo and Corsair GS 700. Could it be some wrong overclocking like clocking RAM with CPU. Please advice :unsure:

What stability tests did you run and for how long?

I did run furmark after I saw artifacts during game play but it was fine.....furmark didn't show any problem

And what did you run before you saw artifacts? Furmark is for stressing GPUs. Prime95(large FFT) for CPU - min 12 hours/Memtest for RAM - atleast 10 passes.

Are you struggling with performance at stock speeds?

How much vCore you have in there...? And which motherboard..?

In stock speeds it runs with no problems but problem comes when I overclocked (through the BIOS) I have an ASUS P5P43TD.

So don't overclock it. You don't look like you know what you're doing

Yeah even I feel so :yes:. The E7500 is a pretty good processor. I Just wanted to see whether I would really get some performance boost on overclocking. I guess it wont work for me then

I had an E7400 which I constantly ran at 4.

i wouldn't discourage you from OC'ing,never hurts to have more performance.But you do need to read up before taking such measures.here read these guides : A Beginner's Guide to Overclocking Your Intel Processor,
Beginners Guides: Overclocking the CPU, Motherboard and Memory - PCSTATS.com

Hit me up after reading those guides(if you still want to OC),for any guidance regrading the same.(I OC'ed my E7400 too,so i am kind of familiar with your setup).
