Hey Earthdog, got an error with IBT. Set to 15 loops but on 8th IBT stops because of an error. What settings do I have to tweak.
Following this guide I think I have a stable OC at 4.5g. All is exactly as explained, and i have lowered my voltage to 1.32. prime 95 is running along as I post this and all is well. My question is when I run prime95 and at 100% cpu load my multiplier changes. It fluctuates between 39, and 40. Is that normal or did I miss somthing.
i5 2500k, fatality mobo. 16gig 2333 ram, cas set to 11,11,11,30 per the box. Im cooling with a corsair water block. mixed reviews but I tried it and its awsome. Replaced a V8 cooler that just never seemed to work right.
temps stable around 60c under load for about an hr.
see if i can post a screen.....
Hi,
First of all my thanks to theocnoob!!! :¬D
I could achieve on my i7 2600K: 4.5Ghz / 1.30v stable 24/7
Temps running at now that it's OCed: Idle 32-33C / Full Load 68-69C
Now I want to go lower in voltage to see If I can achieve 1.27-1.28 and improve also the temps. Anything recommended to focus on BIOS settings?
Also, could I harm my CPU by giving less voltage that it really needs?
Thanks!
My HW is:
Ya you're fine. What you're seeing with fluctuation is most likely because your motherboard, like most motherboards, isn't holding a perfect 100Mhz as the baseclock. Its always a bit off. In your case its 99.77 so that makes a few less mhz than 4000.
It's not hard to overclock Sandybridge (Or Ivybridge. This same guide will overclock an Ivybridge cpu as the actual silicon is very similar, just smaller.)
Undervolting can not hurt the CPU. You already have a low voltage so I'd leave it. Only overvolting can hurt it.
Hi everyone. This is my first post. I'm totally new to overclocking. I followed this guide on here after reading and trying to understand what I could on the internet. I have an average knowledge base of computers for a 29-year-old. So, I'm no pro.
I have an Asus p8z68-v gen3 mother board and an i7-2700k sandy bridge.
I'm using a corsair h100 liquid cooler.
So, I followed the guide and now CPUz says I have a 4636 MHz cpu core speed. I ran all the stress tests recommended and they all passed, what concerns me is that prior to overclocking, the CPU core speed would be in the low 1000s MHz and jump up as application demands increased. I'm wondering why it just stays at 4636 MHz now, according to the read out in CPUz?
Should I be concerned at all with the Base Clock speeds in BIOS? Mine was and is still at 103. Should I mess with this? I've really tried to read up more on all this, but I can't seem to get a handle on what I should do with my specific mother board.
BTW in IntelBurn my highest temp was 82 for two cores and the others never hit 80.
