Hi all,

As I am wfinding myself without free time, I'd asked a repair center to upgrade my system (fitting coolers and heat-sink) and over-clocking. But they let the V-CORE value in AUTO and I would like to know which problems this . I am a casual player. Here are my specs. My CPU V-CORE is achieving 1.476 at loading. In the other hand, the temps seems to be OK.

My specs:

proc: i5 3570k @ 4.5
mb: GA-Z77X-D3H
2 * 4 GB 1600 Mh
heat-sink: noctua nh-d14
GPU: nvidia EVGA 660
PSU: Be Quiet! CM BQT L8-630W
 
That vcore is high. Intel say use of vcore over 1.4-1.45 can start to degrade the CPU.

I don't know why they did this, they should know better.

Go into the bios and set the voltage yourself.

Turn off speedstep (if on). Switch vcore to 1.2 (1.25) and make sure LLC is on high.

Then test it with prime. If I fails just up the vcore a nudge (0.01-0.02) CPU-Z should show you 1.2-1.25 vcore under load

EDIT: Appearently Ivybridge is much more sensitive to voltage than Sandybridge is, so keeping it under 1.3 is very important.

If you paid them to overclock this for you, i would ask for your money back.

yet you had time to devise this topic title : "Overclockprocessador: i5 3570k placa-mae: ga-z77x-d3h memoria: 2 * 4 gb 1600 heat-sink: noctua nh-d14 gpu: nvi assement"

Sorry about this. I just posted the same question into a Portuguese forum. I should edit it.
 
I think I messed up something in the bios. I had set up the multiplier to 44 and the( plc to 1.65 default is 1.8). Put the vcore to manual and 1.3. Now I can't access the bios because the keyboard and mouse stop working. And as soon the win 7 turns in the pc bsod. The only option is clear the cmos?

clear cmos and do it your self with alittle help from the friendly people here if you need it :)

Hi,
for clearing the cmos I need to open the case, right ?

I cant try to post from the second (backup) bios (this is a feature supported by this motherboard)? I am will not open this case since I can go back to 3000 rpm I ask then to solve this for me.

thanks for being friendly anyway :)
 
Turn off comp and remove the power cable (dont just turn it off fully remove cable)

Push your power button a couple of times this will discharge any remaining power

Open your case you will see somewhere on the board what looks like a watch battery ( it some times hides under a GFX card just have a hunt youll find it.

Leave it out for 5 mins and put it back together and fire it up...... youll know if it worked because the bios date and time will be reset to the time of the boards manufacture.
 
It does say your board has dual bios so if wanted to you could look at manual and find the bios switcher and change it but again make sure you have it turned off and unplugged. (if you want to learn to overclock its good to get used to clearing cmos the (hardwired way) the choice is yours

Does lower volting explains this freezing behavior ?
 
Over clocking is literally a juggling act of settings, freezing can be a result of vdroop and other factors get it back to stock and go from there.
 
Dropping the voltage to 1.3 and hoping for the best aint really the best way to try and sort it, my chip would also BSOD if i did that. If the company that overclocked it for ya was happy running it at 1.45v then i think all the other settings are proberbly worth looking at. I would try and make time to have a look at an overclocking guide.
 
If ya google Ivy Bridge overclocking guide theres loads of guides i even saw a youtube video of a guy explaining it step by step.
