Hi guys

Would just like to know how many of you have broke over the 4.4 mark on the Asus P8P67 Pro board and the 2500K ?

Im stuck at 4.4 and cant get past it no matter what im trying :(

Post your best stable overclock speeds please.
 
You must have a dodgy chip mate, as soon as I got mine I just set the vcore to 1.3v and the multi to 45 and I've not had a single issue. I've not tried to up it yet but with my new noctua I should be able to get a 24/7 clock of about 4.7/4.8ghz at reasonable temps.
Try setting all the vrm and llc stuff to extreme, put the vccio and vccsa stuff on auto and then set the vcore at 1.3 (mine says 1.312 in cpu-z) and multi 45.
This is the easiest way to get 4.5ghz straight off with hardly any messing, then work from there to get it higher, once you have a stable OC you can start to take things off auto and lower them as much as pos.
I'm an OC noob and it worked for me lol (not saying your an OC noob, just stating if I can do it you can):)
 
Mine exact combo ran at 4.5 on 1.31v happily under load but i kept getting the odd BSOD at idle and didn't have the time to fiddle around with it.

For the P8p67 Pro make sure you have the latest bios, enable Internal PLL Overvoltage, set the voltage at 1.35 and try booting at 4.5 that will probably work nice and easy. Enabling other stuff will help keep it stable and get higher.

LLC = 100%
VRM Freq = Auto
VRM Spread = Enable
Phase Control = Extreme
Duty Control = Extreme
CPU Current = 100%

Vcore = 1.35
Dram = 1.4 (or whatever yours needs to run happily)
VCCSA = Auto
VCCIO = Auto
CPUPLL = Auto
PCH = Auto
CPU Spread Spec = Auto.
 
I'm running the 1204 bios and currently am 13 hours into prime at 4.7ghz

If its still running after work, that'll be 20 hours'ish so I'll call that stable :)

Needs a bit of juice though for that speed. CPUZ shows 1.440 at load and temps sit at 67-71 across the cores at their maximums
 
1204 here. I've had 4.6 at the following;

1.37v (It did it at 1.36, but I had some idle issues which turned out to be fixed in SP1).
LLC: Extreme
PLL Overvolt: On
PLL Voltage: 1.7v

I have been using 1.55v for memory, and have even tried 1.5v but this was resulting in some non-fatal crashes. Since going up to 1.65v these have disappeared.

I tried higher before discovering LLC and PLL Overvolt options and failed. I'm sure I could probably manage 4.8 at around 1.38, but I haven't had time to give it a go.
 
What I'm finding is the LLC setting is pretty much just an extension of how high you set CPU voltage

On mine (which hopefully is still running at home and will now be about 15 hours prime stable), even though I have to set the cpu voltage to 1.485 to get to 4.7ghz, I only have the LLC set to high. This gives a load voltage of 1.440 +- .008

If I put it to extreme as a lot of guides suggest, my load voltage become 1.51 and upwards at the same voltage. Didnt fancy it at the time so didnt watch the fluctuations and reset

So, my point is, just because I am at 1.485, I get the feeling it will be the same as someone being at 1.35 with extreme LLC

Maybe? Whom knows :D
 
Well, its still running at 4.7ghz :)

Thats 22 hours running prime so pretty sure thats stable. Temps have settled to an average of 67 degrees. Considering thats with a load volt reading of 1.440v and a ambient temp of a toasty 27 degrees, it looks like my new water cooling setup is doing a decent job

Happy with that. Well, at least for now
 
I got a call from Overclockers today informing me that they couldn't get my Titan Spinosaur above 4.4Ghz. Being a computer novice I didn't fancy trying to clock an own-build system so I decided it best to leave it to the experts, I'm a wee bit gutted that the advertised 4.6GHz won't be coming my way after all. Is it the case that I am very unfortunate and am one of only a few people getting a poor sandybridge, or should Overclockers advertise the overclock more realistically as 4.4Ghz and regard anything above as a bonus, or are Overclockers being a wee bit cute here and looking to minimise any returns due to shortened lives? I'm using the computer exclusively for FSX which I believe is one of the most CPU dependant games out there but the Overclockers rep said the 0.2Ghz will make little difference. Apart from being completely not what I would expect someone working for a company that strives to be on the edge of computer performance to say, do people agree with this? Would I even notice?

My first purchase from Overclockers was the MSI GTX580 OC so, as bad luck runs in threes, I'm dreading my next purchase. I am completely aware that this was an error by MSI, not Overclockers. On that note, can someone at MSI please grow some, put a claim in to their insurance company and get some OC cards out to those who put faith in their product and (seemingly now non-existent) customer service. I mean, bejesus, how long can you stay silent on this matter? I'm rather peeved at how long this has taken, and I don't even have a system to put it in, God knows how angry those who have a computer sitting dormant waiting for MSI to do something, anything, must be!!!
