Overclocking (Questions)
NaRu:
also I wouldn't worry too much on O/C your ram. The bandwidth of DDR3 is faster then the memory controller in your CPU. So overclocking the ram won't provide any real performance.

I put the settings to 200x10 with multi of 8 for the ram, with turbo boost off and ram profile set to standard: boots fine.
Boots fine with 175x20 with my ram timings back to default 9-9-9-24, with the extreme profile off. Bumped the timings to 7-7-7-21, where i want them, but keeping the profile at standard still, boots fine as well.
Bumped the NB volt up from 1.1v to 1.170v. Tried to stay as low as possible to reduce the stress.
Currently at 175x20 (3.5 ghz) with mem multi of 8 (7-7-7-21 timings). Turbo boost is off. BIOS reads the CPU temp at about 40 average. Will actually stress test this when I get settled on majority of settings I want. Not sure if I want to keep it at 3.5 or just lower it a bit to reduce unneeded stress. Depends on how much of a performance change (if any).
vCore is set at auto currently. Main MIT status page shows my vCore at 1.312v atm.

lol good job for a start up, fascinating results as well. the only thing left are stability test, temps and voltage peaks(because its set to auto).
so i take it you`ll stick to 3.5ghz? most people around the net has their i5-760 clocked at 4ghz so its not really that scary to clock it at 3.5ghz. plus 3.5ghz is exactly 25% overclock.

So far looks like the cores temps get up to about 70 to 73 under max load thus far. If it changes much from there ill be sure to post new numbers. Gonna run memtest86+ after this.

you're running at some scary temps there, i5-760's Tj max is 99c, which is the "exceed = wut are you cooking?".
PS: lowering the voltage should lower the temps as well.
