So I recently put together a this new i7 build and I want to overclock it.
Right now I have it overclocked to 3.2. In the CPUID Hardware manager it showed a min vcore of 1.00 and Max of 1.08.
I get idle temps of 30-35c (40 on a HOT day..was about 95f outside the other day) With prime 95 after an hour, the highest the temps had risen was 67c.
I also noticed in the CPUID Hardware manager that the CPU's wattage even OCed at 3.2 never exceeded 130watts of power.
My main question(s) are
1) Is this stable for 24/7 use?
2) Is the vcore too low and will it do harm to the processor?
3) Are the temps acceptable?
4) Is the wattage usage to low???
here are the specs of the computer:
Intel Core i7 920 with Vigor Monsoon III LT cooler
MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard
OCZ 6GB (2GBx3) DDR3 PC3-12800 OCZ3X1600LV6GK RAM
