The ULTIMATE Sandy Bridge OC Guide + P67A-UD7 Performance Review - Page 70

post #691 of 702
Howdy! Long time thread lurker.

I'm interested in clocking my system past what Easy Tune will allow me, been hesitant to do so since this will be my only computer for the next 4 years. I've read the entire post but kinda having a hard time wrapping my head around at the things to change and the items to leave alone.

I guess my first question is that i can change the multiplier in BIOS first without having to touch much else right? So I suppose I'll start there. Should there be a check list in what order i should bump things up and when i should bench it before making any further changes?

much appreciated. FYI my specs are on my profile.

Thanks for the amazing guide smile.gif

I was using another guide that used the turbo option and left everything on auto ... but my motherboard decided that @4.5 my vcore should be 1.34 i wanted to lower the Vcore and got really frustrated because the DVID option got me either blue screens or an instant power off when starting prime.

However i dont want to run @45 the whole time i want to use the turbo option. But i have a new strategy on how to achieve it.

I am following the guide right now .... I disabled all of the power saving energy crap and went straight with multiplier OC and i am just lowering the Vcore to see until when i am stable and when i get my lowest stable Vcore ill figure out how to make it work with the turbo boost and the power saving features. However i have a couple of questions.

1.- I am testing with prime doing a custom test and just changing the ram section to use 80% of my ram is that ok ???? I am also doing 20 rounds of IBT on high bc i only have 4gb of ram..

2.- How long should i test on prime before lowering to the next level of Vcore ???

3.- Right now i am @ 1.290 Vcore but in windows fluctuates a bit is this normal ??? I am reading and seeing that usually people need much more Vcore to get to 4.5 so is my chip really special or do you think i am messing something up ???

Thanks for the guide again

hi atm i got a stable OC at 4.6ghz but i dont know if im safe with my settings if i go lower on the Vcore(1.35-1.38) i get BSOD 5mins in window but with this setting i can run prime 30mins with no BSOD and temps are (idle-23 max-49) any info/help would be great thx

I have had overclocking my i5-2500k in the past. The best I could do was 4.4ghz. After reading this I am trying again. My goal is 4.7ghz. My motherboard is the msi-p67-gd53.

I am currently an hour into stress testing with the below settings. Settings (Click to show)
393

I just realized there is a typo on the ram voltages. Just add .1v to the ram voltages and that is what they are. As I show in the picture, current vs actual, my motherboard rounds down some settings. I am pretty sure some of those voltages are a bit high. But I keep getting these two bsod codes.

0x124 -- I usually get this one.
0x9C -- If I try a lower vcore I get this one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Vcoreis what you need. Can you try to increase the VCore more? Is your BIOS up to date?

if you want the multiplier to drop you will need to use the power saving features and DVID. More importantly just make sure EIST is enabled.

For testing time, you can try 1 hour of prime, and then when you think are are stable do 4 hours, if you pass, keep going until you feel good about it. Yea vcore always fluctuates.

Bios are up to date. That vcore seems really high to me. It should be fine right?
