Intel Core i5 & i7 Sandy Bridge Overclocking and Feedback

[Ozpa]

I can't see any numbers :/

grr darn resize, I''ll fix the screens

Ok I've just started OCing my 2500K. I've only been running 4,5Ghz for over 2 hours in OCCT + playing League of Legends while I'm at it
My motherboad BIOS has quite different OC options than Extreme3/4 I've seen people post screenshots of. I can only change vcore in 0.05 increments :/
AIDA64 reporting vcore 1.312-1.328, CPU temp is 41-42c (surprisingly low I feel, but I love my Antec 1200 and it's winter outside).
What's the most popular CPU benchmark I could use to compare scores with other oced 2500K CPUs? I want to make sure my CPU isn't being throttled or anything.

Ok fella's I need some help. I am ocing to 4.5ghz but when I set the voltage from auto to a specific number, the voltage does not down volt at idle with the clocks? Is there something special I have to do to make the voltage go down?

i belive you have to use the off set setting for it to drop when speedstep down clocks it

I will test this out but how do I know what offset if the specific voltage I am looking for?

I could never get that offset thing to work right. It was always either too high under load or too low at idle. I just said eff it and I'm doing it the old-fashioned way.

I have had trouble overclocking my i5-2500k in the past. The best I could do was 4.4ghz. I am trying again. My goal is 4.7ghz. My motherboard is the msi-p67-gd53.

My current settings are:

There is a typo on the ram voltages. Just add .1v to the ram voltages and that is what they are. As I show in the picture, current vs actual, my motherboard rounds down some settings. I am pretty sure some of those voltages are a bit high. I was getting these two bsod codes and I kept adding more vcore.

0x124
0x9C

I went 15 hours with occt linpack test with the above settings. The did the occt lin with avx and it failed in 5 minutes and had the error 0x101.

Any help would be appreciated.

My 2500k only does 4.5. You may just have a dud one like me.

4.5 is something like +0.15 vcore, etc etc, on p67. Should be doable for 99%.

mines needs +30 and even then sometimes it will lock up rarely , motherboards just a piece of shit

once my 2 new agilty 3 drives are in im going to be pushing for my 4.8ghz goal, im almost there actually but managed to have a drive failure in the middle of my adventure so i sent both of my Vertex 2's back to OCZ to have them replaced with faster drives

I'll post my bios settings soon of were im at currently

Does that info is on your keyboard?
Which keyboard do you have?

...what? uh... do you mean link. I see the picture on mine just fine. It is a big picture of hello kitty
