Intel Core i5-750 @3.6 ghz stability issues

[Neutrals]

I am frequently overclocker and I overclock my system frequently. My prime object is to run latest games at online level. I work on lan the most and sometime on the default settings I face lagging issues. Now I had overclocked the Intel Core i5 at 3.6Ghz but the cpu is not stable. The system hangs entirely and I need to forcefully restart the same. This has happened a couple of times.

Each model of a cpu has its own core processor thermal specifications, cmq in general should not go beyond 65-70 degrees under stress, for more detailed info refer to the 3d hardware upgrades, but remember that for many non-core processors at 65 nm were never issued official documents on thermal specifications, and in some cases the recommended values should be taken. It is possible that your processor is heating.

Under such condition updating the BIOS is the best solution. You can go for the latest beta version of the same. But it could lead to problems if you decide to mod bsel, since problems are found for recognition. So for such you must better look for better solution. Run CPU-Z which monitor frequencies under windows. In the same way you can run Memtest to stress test the ram.

In my case I have Core i5 661 on ASRock H55M Pro and I had started to overclock some couple of months before. I had increased the frequently and found that the Bclk began to climb slowly. First level stable with the default Vcore at 4.0 GHz is very impressive with the Intel cooler box. Then I had further increased the Vcore Core i5 661 to +0.2 Volt and resumed back to old settings. The new level of stability increases to 4.56Ghz and that was good. System might be unstable due to heating.

Intel has released three processors compatible socket LGA 1156 Core i5-750 clocked at 2.66GHz, the Core i7-850 2.8GHz, and finally the Core i7-870 2.93GHz. The differences between these three processors are not only frequency but also in the management of Turbo Boost: the frequency of individual cores up higher on the 800 series than on other models. So your choice for models can give you better option.

Firstly, you must know that apart from the Extreme versions, the maximum coefficient proposed by a CPU Core i5 or i7 is its nominal frequency. For example, in the case of the Xeon L3426, it is 14x as 14x 133 MHz = 1.83 GHz. So even if the Turbo processor enables it to achieve a coefficient of 24x (24x 133 MHz or 3.2 GHz), it is not accessible via the BIOS during overclocking. Then, the activation of the Turbo does not overclocking via the Base Clock.

Run OCCT in your system and then wait back for the final result. This software will tell you that whether your system is stable for overclocking or not. If the system crashes in between then you must note down that there might be issue with cpu heating or bad ram support. Also you must know that without the Turbo mode, the processor will be limited to a factor of 14x.
