Overclocking – Intel Core i7 2600K with Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z

STABLE CLOCK: Core i7 2600K @ 5.3 Ghz

The highest stable clock that I can achieve using Noctua NH-C14 with all 4 core enabled and HT. I’ve used this setting for overclocking test over stock setup. Idle temp is 45c and load temp is over 80c.

The highest overclock that I can achieve in air cooling configuration. I’ve install the Corsair H50 water cooling but not enough to sustain the heat of the Core i7 2600K, so I revert back to air cooling.

Overclocking – Asus Matrix GTX580 Platinum with Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z

100 Mhz more from stock core clock and 200 Mhz more on memory frequency. This would be my settings for measuring the Overclocking capability of Matrix GTX580 Platinum.
