OC, Random Restart

[Miker]

Well I have a new OC and my PC just randomly rebooted, never turned off, just rebooted. I am guessing it didn't like that OC, what do I do next? Turn up V-Core? It rebooted randomly in FireFox, temp was 38.

it needs more volts, isnt that obvious?

[Miker]

What makes you think volts? I am a nub at OCing, trying to learn. It was 100% stable in test before crash, that was at plus .025 volts, what is safe?

1.575 is stock, was up to 1.600, should I go to 1.625?

Increase the vCore or decrease your overclock...

[darkorb]

i would say max on those chips would be 1.65-1.7 but im not 100% sure

if ur temps are reasonable (under 60-65 load) then go as high as u want..

[Miker]

38idle, 61 full load for 30 minutes. Intel Max temp is 67.

But that symptom is not enough Volts?

[darkorb]

yes..

Is there is "Key of Thumb" (Sounds stupid when you type it) to how much over is safe? like .2? .15?

Basic rule of thumb to follow: increase the voltage as you see fit.

Increasing it 0.2V or 0.15V or 0.5V doesn't really matter.

Rule of thumb! That is it! LOL, it is way to late; No way am I going to let myself OC when I am this tired. Night.
