2700k core current limit?

no i meant core current limit.

in cpu control it gives settings for core current limit and in the speed step section long duration and short duration in (w) watts
 
Taken from Asus P8V68-Z Manual:

CPU Current Capability
This Item provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

Configuration options: [100%][110%][120%][130%][140%] Default is [100%]

I hope this helps! From what I can see with my motherboard, the higher you set this the more stable the OC at higher frequencies, I read on a ASUS support site that if you want to achieve extreme OC then you need to set the level to [140%].

Here is the link to the ASUSROG forum: http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showthread.php?2453-P67-Z68-BIOS-Guide-BASIC-Intermediate-Overclocking

Hope this helps

Just found this on:

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/07/how-to-overclock-the-intel-core-i5-2500k/3 - I hope this is ok to post?

Finally, the CPU Current Capability is the total power current available to the CPU cores. Intel purposely limits this to its own spec so the cores won't explode when someone attempts to shoot 200 amps through them. However, this also limits overclocking as the current demand increases with frequency and voltage. Increasing this factor can prevent any artificial limit of high overclocks.

thankyou for your time, its an insight but asrock dont give it in % they give it in watts, defult is 150 (w)
