Can you check this overclock

Jay794 · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:15

I'm new at this, I folloed a guide I found online and as you can see from the results, it seems stable, just want to make sure that the voltage and everything else is ok, I upped the RAM too not sure if it made a difference. Anyway, please check over this and let me know if I should change anything

Oh and ignore was CPU usage says, the clock is 4.5 not 5.8. Also I know the temps look a little high, but I'm only running the H100 on the lowest setting at the moment

ill say that voltage is too high for me nearly 1.43v
also are you using w7 sp1? Gflops looks low and next time use max ram on ibt

Way to high voltage

Jay794 · 13 Jan 2012 at 17:43

So what should the voltage be? and Yes I'm using W7 Ultimate SP1.

If I max out the RAM Intel Burn maxes out and I get bluescreens

As per OcUK http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-358-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1859 At the bottom of the product description.

***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***

- Do not exceed 1.425v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Aim to keep temperatures below 70c underload if at all possible
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher than 1.60v could limit lifespan of the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!

EDIT

Have a look here: I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking

i would stress at very high again but lower voltage to around 1.35-1.39 @4.5ghz

try this version of ibt

The voltage is way to high, Im getting 4.5ghz on a I5 2500k on stock voltage setting 1.35v, not had to change that at all.
I see you are running a I7 2600k, do these normally need more voltage than a I5 ???

wazza300 · 13 Jan 2012 at 18:22

what vccio or qpi/vtt voltage? might need slightly more cpu voltage than 2500k because of 8 threads vs 4 threads ect,

Neil79 · 13 Jan 2012 at 18:29

I'm getting 4.7ghz at 1.385 and abit less on my i5 2500k, it only raises to 1.40 under Intel Burn Test due to Load Line Calibration

Does that Cpu really need even more volts ?

Well I've messed around with the multiplier and left everything else on auto but at 4.2 I got blue screen, if I mess around with the RAM I also get BSOD. Is it safe to leave everything else alone and just whack the multipler up?

UPDATE: Running stable at 4Ghz now, going to try and push it to 4.5Ghz later.

UPDATE 2: Here's a screenshot of Intel Burn running stable at 4Ghz, does everything look ok?
