Trying to stabilize overclock, confused what's causing instability (2500K, Asrock Extreme3 Gen3) - Page 2

Thread Starter 
I tried 4.2 GHz with 1.285V Vcore this time and got BSOD again.

Error code was 0x101 (with lots of zeros) which apparently means I need higher Vcore according to this thread.

What's still puzzling me is why those settings I mentioned aren't increasing stability.

try LLC level 1, sounds like it needs a little more power. with llc of level 1 you can get more power at load and less at idle. sounds like you are real close. if you dont want to ad more power and keep getting the bsod maybe you should try 4.1ghz


and to ad to your question those settings you told us about were correct, just not gonna help at the moment because vcore is the issue.

Here are my bios altho im sitting at 4.5ghz. these settings will get me to 5ghz tho with just multiplier and voltage.leave your host clock override at 100.0MHz

I would never reccommend to turn off CPU Thermal Throttling to an inexperienced overclocker, or to anyone else in that case.

I would disable spread spectrum as well.

And I would leave the C1-state enabled.

You might just have a volt hungry chip, it happens.

Isn't LLC level 1 dangerous because of possibility to overvolt? Maybe I should try with level 2?

Hungry or not, it's still confusing why those settings aren't helping to increase stability. I could live with chip that's not the best batch if there was some logic behind editing other settings for more or less stability.

You are right do not go with LLC one, go with either 2 or 3.

Try to enable Internal PLL Overvoltage if you haven't done that already.

You can also try with 1.4 vCore to make sure that you've got a vCore problem and not something else.

I am using a 2550K on a P8Z68-V Gen3 board and all I changed was my Vcore and Multiplier. Currently running 4.5ghz @ 1.265Vcore. I am sure you should be able to obtain about the same with a 2500K. Also manually set your ram. Use the default timing and voltage but set them manually so the overclock doesn't try to adjust your memory.


I would also try doing what your doing with the GPU you had previously installed and see if the problem continues. Any changes can make an overclock unstable if I am not mistaken.

Telling him to put the LLC on level one was trying to figure out if he needed more vcore, which it would give him under load and not idle as well. It wouldnt go nearly as high on level 1 as 1.4v .you can use it to test how much voltage you will need under load, and if you wanted to later on you could back the llc down and use offset voltage and turn on all of the power options if you wanted. if you do not feel comfortable going that high on the llc then you will have to raise the vcore or back down your clock. I have enabled/disabled spread spectrum many times and didnt get instability either way,nor did i have any difference in benchmarks. if you wish to disable it, you will keep a steady clock speed. having it enabled will eliminate emi and efi. having c1e enabled can save you power so if that is what you want go for it. your memory should not overclock itself, if you raise the host clock override it will but you are only using the multiplier. Unless you are going for really high clock enabling internal pll over voltage is not going to help you. you really shouldnt enable it unless you need it, and you only need it for 4.8ghz and above, somewhere in that range.

The setting you keep talking about will allow certain limits for power, they do not give you power just change the limits allowed to go through it.
