Hello,
my 1st core probably holds me back in overclocking my 2500K (L040B544).
It fails in Prime95. For 4.8 GHz I need 1.43V so that it does not fail.
Is the 1st core any special or is it just one of all the same 4 cores? If MB BIOS supported turning individual cores off (it does not at the moment), could I turn 1st core off?
Or is there any other way how to make it more stable?
At the moment I have 4.6 GHz at 1.36V and all is good, I do not have any urgent need to get it to 5 GHz, but it would be nice to know, if I should bump some other voltage up a bit to avoid need for increasing the core voltage etc.
My settings:
Asus P8P67 PRO:
LCC Ultra high
VRM 350 Hz
Phase extreme
Duty extreme
CPU current 130%
VCCSA 0,95V
VCCIO 1,1V
PLL 1,80V
PCH auto
CPU spread auto.
