Overclocking my i7-860 with an "old" H55-GD65

Well, it was new to me but I understand by todays standards it is "Old"... forgive me for my budget constrainsts at the moment, but atleast I did buy an MSI, right?
OK, that being said, I would like to be a little more educated on the overclocking functions and, in some cases, how to be able to adjust them as some I can not seem to get off of auto mode...
I'm new to this (if you couldn't already tell by my other stupid posts) so be patient with me please. I pick stuff up quickly. As a matter of fact as of a month ago I could't have told you what an i7 was... Now I have built my own system and I really want to learn what everything is, what it does and how it relates to everything a little more indepthly. I have read many articles on several forums reffered by this site, so I am somewhat up to speed on many of the settings.
So far I have done three OC attempts and saved their settings. All successfull in their own way. I managed to go from the OC Genie base setting of 3.59Ghz to 3.99Ghz. Ram settings on the OC genie was 1575Mhz and my OC's were 1525Mhz. Values for voltage on my OC's are all on auto, as I can not seem to find a way of manualy adjusting the voltage outside of OC genie settings so there must be something I am not doing right. As for CPU voltage the OC genie was1.31min/1.36max. Mine were 1.36min/1.42max (which it pretty much stayes right there. This is where I think I am consuming more power especially at a higher clock. I really need to get into the voltages for the CPU and RAM (the RAM especialy).
In 3Dmark11 my last OC produced much better physics scores 8500s vs 8100s so I am confident it is working well in that regard, but who knows, maybe it should be better givin the increase in frequency. I have also run BBC2 for over 6hrs on my 3.8Ghz tune and my CPU temps never got over 60C. With OCgenie activated, my temps are in the 55C range.
I am using CPUID monitor to read temps and voltages. In this I have noticed that the OC genie power package is pulling 65W, my packages were at 95W. So given the data of the performance and the heat build up at idle and max temps, I have to concede the OCgenie setting to be more efficient. I would like to know exactly why that is. I see a different multiplyer being used, but when I am in one of my clocks, I can not adjust this either, I can only adjust frequency. Why is that?
Here are the specs on my system;
CoolerMaster HAF 922; 3x2CM, 1x1.2CM
i7-860
H55-GD65
2x4Gb G.Skill CL7 10666 ocupying 1,3
Sapphire Dirt 3 HD 6950 2Gb
Win 7 U
WD 1Tb Caviar Black 64Mb SataIII
Antec H20 620 w/ UltaKAze 3000
HCG-900 PSU
If any more info is needed, let me know. I will be all to happy to provide it the best I can.

Found it! -/+ buttons... Sry for the Noob post.... it was in the manual... Sry.
So now that that is out of the way...
I have noticed the recomendations on this sight varying from recomendations on other sites pertaining to what CPU functions should be Enabled/Disabled.
On this Forum I see most suggest O-clocking with T-boost and other CPU state controls active. Other sites say turn them off and run the CPU throttled. I personaly like the idea of a more energy efficient combo, providing it works comparitively. I am also begining base testing again with Prime95 so I know I am starting with a completely stable platform.
I also read that there is a limit of the onboard chipsets. Being this is an H55, can I ask what is the max throughput (I believe is the propoper term) for this chipset? On the Specs page it lists max QPI up to 6.4GT/s. Could someone explain what this number is representative of and what it means in relation to maximum attainable CPU frequency? Thanks.

Upgrade to Adobe CC with the conditions of the "special offer" (35,69€ / year) with an old registered CS5 Students Edition?

Hi!
I just tried to update my Adobe Creative Suite to Adobe CC. I have a registered CS5.5 Master Collection from 2012 that I bought while studying (Students Edition).
On the Adobe Website I can choose the CC as a special offer and a price o 35,69€ per year. When my Serial is checked they say that I'm not allowed to use this special offer.
Does anybody know what's the problem? Can't I use the special offer with the old serial of a student's edition?
Thank's for your help!
Best!!!

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account?

How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account? After syncing my iPhone with iTunes, the app is not listed in the App section.

To delete an app from your iphone, press and hold any icon until they all start wiggling. Apps that you can delete will have a circled x in the top left corner of the icon. Tap that circled x to delete. Tap home button to stop the wiggling.

Is there some issue with the device?

I entered a wrong email address when I first set up my iPhone 5c, I successfully changed my Apple ID but when I try to download anything it still comes up with my old apple id

I entered an invalid email when I first set up my iPhone 5s and forgot the password for the Apple ID. I managed to successfully change the Apple ID and password and validated it through email. However when I tried to download something from the App Store it still came up with my old apple id so I can't download anything. How can I fix this?

It appears that you have apps that need updating that were pruchased from more than one account
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I have a new email address which I have had verified, but when I try to update an app it asks for my password with the old email address and always comes back telling me it is an incorrect password.

Hi Vivian Zollman,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app. So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.

I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

TS2446 Fuc!!!!!!!! Yahoo disabled my Yahoo email address as there had been a breach is security. So I could no longer buy apps or update. I created a whole new Apple ID. But my iPhone still comes up with the old email address and I can't seem to get rid

I'm ready to stop using itunes the ID change of email address is killing me! Help

Well, your first mistake was making a new Apple ID. You only needed to go into Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID from the Yahoo email to your new email. Then, all the purchases you made with that old Apple ID would still be tied to your updated Apple ID.
As it is, you now have a totally new Apple ID, but the purchases you made with that old Apple ID are still (and will forever be) tied to it.
Your best bet is to log into Manage your Apple ID with the old ID (regardless of what Yahoo did with it, it is still a functional Apple ID, unless you had that disable for security reasons). Once you have logged into it, change the password on it to match the password on your new ID. Then when you are asked for a password to update an app, it won't matter which of the two Apple IDs is displaying. You will just type in the same password and your app will be updated.

I use "hdmi to component converter" to connect apple tv with my old plasma tv by component cable. Sound is ok but the picture split 2screens left and right. Still can't fix it. Anyone can help or has any idea? should I try convert to av?

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

How do I change my icloud email when don't know the old password after I have changed my apple ID email address and the password? icloud is still online with my old email address!!!

I got a new phone but backed it up through my itunes, and when I tried to use icloud it kept telling me I have forgotten my password, when I really really didn't. So I went to settings > itunes&appstore and changed my password, but also changed the email address too while I was at it, since I've always wanted to change it. But now here's the problem. My iphone's icloud is currently logged in with my old apple ID email address, which seems to not work with the new password, so I can't log it or even delete the account off my iphone. And ovbiously, I don't know the old password that I have "forgotten", as my phone tells me. There seems to be no way of changing the icloud account now.... What should I do?!

So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?
