Ratio on my G3258 (z87x UD4H mobo)

Can you show me the advanced frequency page of the @classic@ mode (F2 to access)

All of it please.
 
I think it might be the power limits being on AUTO.

Theres two of them to increase.

Plus disable all the other crap such as C states, EIST etc.
 
See all that crap under "no cores enabled" turn it all off.

Turboboost disable too.

Try that.

If that dont work then try increasing the power+current limit to say 200 each.
 
driving me bonkers now mate. Just updated to F10b and disabled all those features that we talked about before but got a BSOD each time windows was about to pop up :( loading defaults in the bios lets me into windows though.

Any other ideas mate? Maybe this beta bios is a bit buggy?
 
Can you adjust those two turbo ratios to 40X, the cpu doesnt have turboboost from what I remember but you can try that.

Is it a fresh OS install?

In power options in the OS is it set to high performance and not balanced or something.

Does the speed CPU-Z show increase if you run cinebench or SuperPI?


------------

Ive just seen some videos on youtube using gb boards and it really is as simple as it looks to oc.
 
Ok so I'm back on F9 - didn't like that bluescreening, still same issue mate, windows showing x32 :(

just checked and it on performance yeah. Its a fairly fresh install yes, only a few weeks old.

Nope, no increase showing in CPU-Z when I run Super Pi mate :(
 
Intel CPUs use Turbo Boost to go beyond the default multiplier. You need to set these both to 40.

After you do that, if you are still having problems, give ThrottleStop a try. Click on the FIVR button, check the Overclock option and make sure your turbo ratios are both set to 40. After that, click on OK and go back to the main screen and adjust Set Multiplier to 40 and make sure that is checked off. Click on the Turn On button and post some screenshots of the main window and the FIVR window and the TPL window if you are still having problems.

cheers, will try this when i get home :)
 
It really should be as simple as setting the cpu ratio and adding some volts, thats all the videos showing how to oc one of these chips show.
 
I know stulid, I don't know much about overclocking but I assumed it would be simple, this is starting to do my head in now!

tried the turbo boost multipliers at x40 again but still showed as x32 in windows grrrrr

just followed unclewebbs instructions and it did indeed change to x40, just as I was sorting screen shots the pc froze up though :(

At least you know the 40 multiplier does work. If your computer froze up when overclocking, it is often times because of lack of voltage. You should be able to adjust this in the bios or you can use ThrottleStop to do this too. I prefer to use a fixed voltage until I understand how much voltage a CPU needs. I also prefer to use a little too much voltage at first and then work my way down once stability has been proven.

Do some testing with Prime95 to make sure you are stable. These CPUs do not use the AVX instructions so you can run the newest version of Prime95 without having to worry. Other Haswell CPUs get extremely hot but a 2 core CPU without AVX should be able to easily run Prime95 v28.5 or newer.

Do some Google research to see how much voltage is appropriate for a G3258 at 4 GHz. The better CPUs should be able to run at 4.5 GHz as long as they have adequate voltage and are properly cooled.

You might not have your bios setup correctly but it is also possible that your bios does not fully support this CPU. Make sure you are using the most recent bios.

Edit - I just noticed that your Cache ratio is already at 40. Most people have better stability if the Cache Ratio is about 4 or 5 numbers less than the CPU multiplier so if you are trying to get a 40 multiplier stable, you could try using a 35 or 36 cache ratio.
