is it possible to push the 2500k to 4.8ghz with a Hyper 212 evo
Total noob used the article to help do his first overclock. Was hoping for a little feedback.
My system:
Mobo- Gigabyte z68xp ud3
CPU - i5 2500k
RAM - 8 gigs 1600
GPU - GTX 560 ti 448 cores
Case - Fractal Design R3
Heatsink - Hyper 212+ with only one fan attached
After 3.5 hours of 95prime I got max cpu temps of 82 Thoughts on lowering this? and other changes i should make?
Thanks for the help
Your voltage is a bit high. 1.38-1.39v is a bit high for a 4.5 ghz oc. Any decent 2500k chip should do 4.5 with less than 1.35v for sure. 82 degrees on a non hyperthreaded CPU is a bit high for my liking!
The guide was written before Z77 existed.
I like the Z77 boards I've used, certainly more than the Z68.
Thanks Bobnova
You should be buying a 3570K or 3770K now (replaces 2500K and 2600K) and a Z77 motherboard. This guide is from before these existed.
suggestions? lower the LLC? Its at 5/10 right now. Would lowering it to 3 or 4 be worth a shot? And would that then lower the temp? Maybe adding a second fan to the 212+?
Thanks
Really? I thought the 3570K had heat issues? I guess not, so I can get the 3570k to 4.5 with a Hyper 212?
Get the voltage to 1.35V and figure out how much you need by gradually dialing it down as per the guide. If you're set to 1.35 but you're getting 1.39 then your LLC is too high for your board and you need to bring it down. Play around with it and the actual input number until you get 1.35 actual voltage under load in windows.
It has heat issues at a certain point but it's a newer CPU and has a better igpu and PCIE 3.0. I don't know what heatsink you need for the IB cpus. Never played with one.
It's a bad move today to buy a 2500K. It's last year's chip.
