Firstly, I think I should mention that I've had issues with this system since receiving my new i5 2500k and P8P67 Deluxe MB: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=674764
So anyway, I decided to start OCing. I've done some OCs on these setups before but using the Pro MB and I've managed to easily get a safe 4.6Ghz.
Now due to my problems previously mentioned, I decided to take one big step to an easily achievable target and then take small steps up to my target which is a minimum of 4.8Ghz and Max of 5Ghz.
I did try 4.8Ghz first at 1.35 vcore but got the BCCode 124, I tried a few tweaks and even tried copying some settings I found in a guide and tweaking those but just kept getting that 124 BSOD. I never went above 1.4 vcore though.
So I dropped it down to 4.5Ghz and a 1.3 vcore (Or 1.35, I can't remember but will find out later) which seems stable.
I've read that these CPUs have a thinner slice of silicon so the voltage shouldn't really go above 1.35 vcore. However, I've seen some people with vcores of around 1.45.
I'm using a CoolIt Eco, and at 4.5 Ghz, I'm getting temps of around 60 degrees, so I believe there is some room to increase the voltage slightly. The CoolIt isn't great tbh, I've tried to send it back a few times but they're having none of it.
I'm going to try increasing the multi to 47 and maybe increase the vcore slightly. The issue I have is that there is a lot of info out there and most of it contradicts each other.
Any help, advice and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
