Nice guide! Are the settings and voltages the same for Ivy and Sandy?

Updating guide for better readability. Added in BSOD list for Ivy Bridge. Trying to incorporate Ivy into guide more...

For the most part yes. I'm working on getting a voltage section going. I know vCore are the same at 1.52v. As for the others, you'll have to look them up for now.

I have the same motherboard (Gen2), and haven't updated yet! Need to do so soon! TY for the heads up. thumb.gif

Hey guys!

So i begun playing with my OC settings... This is what i achieved, just wanted to make sure my settings are pretty safe just for gaming etc .

450450450450

Its seems i can't get a lower vCore then that to run stable at 4.5. I used prime95 bend test for like 20 mins. No errors whatsoever.

The only thing is like you said try to play with the LLC to match your vcore in bios... My vcore in bios is 1.170-1.190. CPU-Z give me a higher vcore no matter at what setting i set LLC to it barely changes...

OC:

434


Any tips, settings ....

  • Isn't C1E supposed to be enabled? or does that help you achieve higher OC..I forgot..I thought if you are using Offset than Enhanced Halt State (C1E): Enabled
  • RAM not 1600?? frown.gif
  • 20 minutes of Prime95 is nothing....I've failed at 5 hours multiple times....though I think you know this.
  • You temps look good so far, try staying under 80C max.


FYI: Run Custom Blend Test for 24 hours...with 5 minute intervals on small FFT (default is 15), and 80% of your RAM to stress it out more (I used 6.4gb of my 8gb)..that's actually like 90% in total of system usage if you include windows....if you pass that then thumb.gif.

Your BIOS may just be reporting the wrong vCore.

Change your DRAM Voltage to 1.5v.
Change your C1E setting to enabled.

Try setting Additional Turbo Voltage to lowest setting after "Auto".

Other than that it looks good. 1.35v is pretty low and 60C max temps is really low. All really low stats for a nice overclock.

I updated to the new BIOS and me likey. I'm gone to use your pics in my guide and update it to use the new settings.

24 hours is megakill. 12 hours is even overkill for me (unless you FOLD).

Like in my guide, 1 hour is all you need. IMHO. But to each their own, if you think 12 hours then by all means, test for 12 hours. smile.gif
