how to oc 2500k on gd65 via bios

thank you, at the moment i am just trying to get 4.5GHz stable, then i will try for 4.8 :)

5. DRAM voltage is a little low at 1.472 - you can increase this to around 1.5 or a little more to stabalise your RAM.

i have a feeling you mis-read the settings, the 1.472 is the current voltage draw, not the limit, the limit is 1.492

Either way RAM problems are a major cause of BSOD's.

There's no harm in raising the voltage a touch if it stabilises matters.

The RAM is rated at 1.4-1.65V.

Around 1.5V is what you want to aim at but some sticks will work with less and some will need a little more.
 
Surveyor, in that guide you posted, is it advisable to change everything they changed?

People talk about just ramping your multi up to 45 with sandybridge and adjusting the vcore?

that is something i'd like to know, surveyor is advising to change loads of stuff, others just say to increase multi and leave the rest on auto :confused:
 
I expect a lot of what you are reading on the internet maybe from older threads and people have played around a little more since then.

Generally your fine to just up the multi and vcore but you're likely to find you won't hit your max without further tweaking. Max I could get was 4.9Ghz but with further playing I got a wprime/superpi stable 5.2Ghz so I'm fairly happy to say there is more to sandy overclocking than just multi/vcore.

Simply going 45x and uping the vcore is the easy way to get a 24/7 stable 4.5Ghz which it seems most SB chips are happy to do. I think Surveyor is posting recommendations for aiming higher than your easy 4.5Ghz daily running speed.

Keep in mind overclocking can be very individual for each person and the hardware they use - 2 same PC's with slightly different cpus can get totally different experiences

This tbh. Once you start going past 4.5-4.6, you have to do things manually. If you don't know what you're doing, start reading a lot more before you try going past it. It's not hard when you understand it, but easy to make silly mistakes if it's your first time. :)
 
So it seems like upping the multi and then adjusting v core will be all good for me as i am perfectly happy with tat. I won't need anymore as all i do is surf, play wow and the odd bit of encoding. Whats the lowest Vcore ppl have seen at 4.5 stable?

OK.

Why are you making up quotes?

that is wierd :p i was trying to quote myself earlier in the thread - must have done it wrong! :p

EDIT: corrected it :)

anyway, is upping the voltage ok? will it increase stability? :)

so i went to reboot the computer and when it says "shutting down" it BSOD'd with MEMORY MANAGEMENT error 1A

i have reverted to stock :(
