the G3250 is not a unlocked cpu and not the one i have.Z97M with 1.30 BIOS is clocking my 4670K worse than Z87M. Simply needs higher voltage for the same clock. There are no vrm frequency options at all. I'm doing something else for the most of the time and I just runned some stability tests to check how it's acting but I guess I have to check newer BIOSes.
Ah, one more thing. I have to set core multi "per core" as "all cores" is always setting max multi x39 even though in BIOS I see higher values. So Evilsizer was right but he had the same on G3250. As I said I didn't check any other BIOS than 1.30 yet ... will post something more later
Its not the boards VRM frequency that is the option its the IVD that is but in an offset. according to the manual for ocing they suggest .6 offset, i use a postive offset of .6. im not sure if the offset is meant as a percentage, but that is what im assuming. since i dont have a real strong air cooler but one i chose for being balanced and non-tower. i think my temps at 4.2ghz are reasonable. i say that cause if i was overclocking higher i would mess with using a higher offset for the IVD.
