Decent guides for 1155 clocking?

[hardkore]

hey

Just took the jump today and built myself a i5 rig. Safe to say its blown my old E8400 @ 4ghz out of the water!! Dead chuffed with temps and performance so far.

At the minute theres no need (in my opinion) to overclock it straight away but i havnt got a clue how to do it on the new fangled bios. Any decent guides how? Had a quick look on google but cant be bothered to dig too much at the minute theres serious lag free bad company to play

Cheers fellow ocuk'ers

The following guide gives you a general understanding of clocking an 1155 setup and then goes on to show 3 different brands of board set up (P67 chipsets - MSI, Asus and Gigabyte) - link

I ended up just searching (p8p67 m pro i5 2500k overclock) in google and came up with a few large threads of people with the same setup trying to do the same. Gave me a good general idea of where to start and what stable settings to start out at and worked up from there

Cheers for the replies guys.

Got a few questions though. When people are saying they've reached 4.7ghz for example is that by using turbo boost or is that the base overclock?

Also how do i go around changing my multiplier? All i can do is roughly change my ddr speeds and voltages?

I change my turbo multiplier and leave speedstep on. I don't want it running at 4.7 all the time. Erm on my p8p67 the setting for the core is 'by all cores' after I have set 'ai tuner' to manual. Maybe you need to set ai tuner to manual before you can go any further. Not sure on your exact board. Is it just the standard p8p67 or the pro etc?

 

[hardkore]

just the standard p8p67 board
