Help me get 4.4 from i2500k setup?

ChrisGTL · 18 Jan 2011 at 20:10

Can anyone help me achieve a stable oc of 4.4 from my setup please?

Maybe its just the fact my BIOS isn't up to scratch yet, but I thought 4.4 would be quite easy.

Setup is:

Gigabyte P67-UD3 (F6c BIOS)
i2500k (Titan Fenrir /w Akasa Venom Fan)
2x2GB Corsair XMS3 1600
Hiper 580w PSU
460GTX

Things I've already done:

bclk manual 100

I've tried to research as much as possible about the BIOS options on these P67's but because Asus name things differently to Gigabyte i'm getting slightly confused.

LLC is load line calibration right? Auto/Enable/Disable?
PLL Overvolt? Is this the same a vdroop? Auto/Enable/Disable?

RAM mode? Standard/Turbo/Extreme?

vcore of ? for a 4.4Ghz i2500k?

Sorry about all the noob questions, i'm trying my best to learn on my own lol

Motherboard is a UD3, the F6a bios gave me problems been too sensative, it kept flashing the BIOS back to F4 because of cold boot problems....

The F6a BIOS is from the website that gets bios files before they go live on manufactorers website.

I can boot into windows at 4.4Ghz easily, just fails Prime95 with BSOD after 4-5mins.

Cheers

Cold boot problems? What cold boot problems?

This chap has posted a good guide to walk folks through he whole process.

Cold boot problems i'm having;

It takes a while sometimes to get into my BIOS. My USB keyboard sometimes doesnt fire up during POST so hitting delete does nothing, if I press restart my computer sometimes restarts itself like 2 or 3 times.....and if that happens the BIOS wants to flash back to the backup.

I've flashed my F6c to current and backup BIOS now, seems to have calmed things down

I'll do what you said and report back

What about the C1E and EIST? Just set them all to Auto?

OK,

All settings on Auto using 44 multi.

CPUID reports 1.32vcore.

I shall try Prime95 now.

Worker #4 failed after 25 tests @ 15mins.

Is it right that my vcore in Hardware Monitor is 1.32v at idle and then goes to 1.25v under full load using Prime95?
