smidge Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 hi all, been playing with overclocking my Asus p6x58d-e with an i7 930 on it seems like a very common combination in PC land, i've been reading up on how its done and seeing some noticeable improvements in geekbench, (from low 9's up to high 12's when really pushing it) i do lots of video work so a fast machine is good! plus overclocking is kinda addictive I've got good cooling but still seeing idle temps close to 50 when pushing it, never seen load higher than 75deg but i'm not sure mac os x utilises all 8 cores in anything i make it do i'm thinking of installing XP on a seperate drive just so i can use some of the utilities i've got, i'd like to optimise all my settings without compromising stability my main question is this - does a stable XP burn period mean OS x is likely to be just as stable?

Yes it should be but you can test with the OS X version of Prime95 if you want no need for the windows. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
