Intel Core i5 & i7 Sandy Bridge Overclocking and Feedback

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 :cool:

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?

theJesus · May 31, 2012

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 :eek:

and even then sometimes it will lock up rarely

, motherboards just a piece of shit

Arrakis9 · Jul 12, 2012

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
