I would suggest you keep playing with it, it took me weeks (with ranges from high to low voltages) before I finally found a stable one. Sometimes it requires you to do minor tweaks on other settings and these differ from board to board (as I mentioned, I can't touch my PLL even though it "feels" ridiculously high)
It is possible that your CPU is simply a bad overclocker, but it could be something else. If possible try to get a gfx card so you don't have to use the iGPU, it adds quite a bit of temp. Or you could try for a lower overclock and see if you can get that stable. In my opinion, practice is the best teacher, no matter how much you read about a topic the only way to truly learn is to get your hands dirty.

BIG PROBLEM - ran the first test with all settings AUTO Vcore and AUTO offset (+) and now I can't get into BIOS after reboot. Was stable for 10 min on prime at 42x and ready to move on to next OC. now I am stuck at 42x with somewhat high voltages due to AUTO/AUTO. *** happened to my BIOS. when I press delete all I get is boot options. PLEASE HELP. I just updated to 1606 BIOS on my Z77-V so something like this wouldn't happen. Can I flash back to an old version using the flashback tool or is downgrading going to cause more problems? mad.gif

You are fine. Simply turn off the PC and press the clear Cmos switch on the back of the motherboard. If I am not mistaken it should look like a green circle. The light will turn off for a second, and turn back on. Once that light is green again, turn your system back on and you should be good.

yeah, that was a bit of a panic, but here's the problem. something didn't work with the simply base OC with this guide. The only way I can get back into BIOS each time is if I either turn the PSU completely off and clear CMOS or just turning the PSU off even works...that's not right...I can't be doing that every time to reach BIOS. I think something is either unstable, which is silly because I'm not even reaching the OS or I need to go back to the old BIOS if I can do that.

Okay, I just got back and I read through your problems. Clear CMOS and boot with complete stock. Don't change anything. Tell me if there is a problem getting into Windows or getting into BIOS after that. With downgrading BIOS, it is fairly hard to do it and most of the time, it isn't a BIOS problem like that. It normally is just an unstable OC.

stellamonster7,

Would you like to set up a time so we can finish you OC? We can IM via Skype or Steam. Might be easier then.

Make everything set to what it is like in the guide and makes sure C-States are enabled and PLL Overvoltage Enabled.
Change vcore to manual vcore and change it to 1.2000vcore.
Make CPU ratio to 40 and check stability of that for about 30 minutes. Post your results here.

I spent couple of months on tweaking it and now I'm pretty sure it's just a bad overclocker. I was able to get down to 1.216v at 4.3GHz by lowering PLL from default 1.8 to 1.75v but lowering it further doesn't seem to help much.

The only settings I haven't played much with are the following:

CPU Fixed Frequency

CPU Power Phase Control

CPU Power Duty Control

CPU Current Capability

but I don't think those have substantial influence. Most people don't even touch them.

I also tested it with discrete GPU and temps didn't change at all, which was a bit of a surprise.

Just curious, why custom blend instead of small fft? I definitely prefer blend as I can go higher than I can with small fft haha, just wondering what the thought process is

I think small fft is more CPU intensive whereas blend test both the CPU and the RAM. Also, as far as I understand it, blend gives a much better "real world" test than small fft.
