Hi guys,

Just after abit of advice overclocking my 2600k.

I have an asus maximus extreme 5, 2 x 4gb memory and a h80 cooler.

The bios is extremely new to me on the mobo and just wanted to know of multipliers, voltages an any other setting I need to enable/disable to get a stable overclock of 4.6-4.8ghz.

Thanks

Shep
 
Might I suggest you look at the several other SB overclocking threads on page 1 (at least), and maybe come back with a specific question :)

(Impolite version: UTFS)
 
Your on an Asus mobo, so you could from a beginners point of view just run the AI Suite II and tell it to OC your machine for you and take it from there in the bios (adjusting the current settings to increase multiplier/voltages etc). If it points you in the right direction my 2600k OC is looking a little like this:

profile = xmp
blk100
Turbo multiplier = x44 (by all cores)
Core Voltage = 1.29v

Just a word of warning, don't over-do it on the voltages to hit those higher (+4.6ghz) speeds, its not good for your chip.
 
Overclocked tons of pcs but this new bios is slightly overwhelming. I want to giro 4.6ghz max. Just wondered if someone with the same board can offer advice.
 
I got a Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 with an i5 2500k, cant seen to work out this motherboard much.
Doing my head in.
every time i try to change multi from 46 to anything else it just reverts back to 46.lol
given up for now and left it on 4.6 as it came from ocuk
 
@prt, you need to press enter after you have set a new value, otherwise it just reverts back to the previous entry, I had the same issue with my p8z68 lol.

I'll try grab a few screens from my bios later today to give you an idea of what you should be looking at.
 
nice one:)
yup it does save the changes now, just having troubles BSOD if i try to got over 4.6
will keep playing and reading
 
I've overclocked about 20 of these boxes for work on the P67 Asus Maximus Extreme IV as a mobo. You'll hit 4.6 easily - if you want straight up volts that will work, I'd suggest 1.345 vcore with a manual 46 multi. It'll do this easily and it's *well* within maximum voltage for these chips, so you're home and hosed. I'm imagining you've gotten some nice low latency 1.5v RAM as well, so manually tune that up and off you go. Try and pull the volts back if you like - I imagine you'll be able to hit 4.6 on a bit less than that. :)
 
i turn off overvolt pll and then set the volts to 1.38v and then multi to 48 try to boot if it does then try intel burn test on max, if it fails then drop the multi to 47... and so on till it passes, once its passed run a blend prime 95 test for 24hour solid keeping an eye on your temps, if it passes hen all good, then try knocking the volts down one by one and repeat till you find the most lowest volts where its 24hour stable then thats it job done :)

i use the settings of:
Ultra High
Manual
350
Extreme
Extreme
Manual volts 1.38
