Yesterday I got my upgrade set (Asus P8Z77-V Pro, 3570k and 8GB Samsung). Now I thought overclocking this would be easy, but it hasn't been that easy.
What I tried:
OCCT Linpack test - fails within 10 minutes with 4.0Ghz at 1.2, raised to 1.21v and still fails
Intel Burn Test - fails within 10 minutes 4.0Ghz at 1.21v
I thought 1.2v was already quite high for just 4.0Ghz? I'm not looking for an extreme overclock. Maybe there are some other bios settings I'm not aware of.
My Samsung memory modules are running 2200mhz 10-10-10-28 at 1.5v and are memtest 4.2 stable (2 full passes).
Basically all I want is 4.0Ghz stable. My cooler is a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and it idles at 28c and load in OCCT Linpack is 58c and 69c in Intel Burn Test.
