I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking

Most games they do stay low. Battlefield ocasionally gets it to 1.39 thou but I guess probally expected of a game as intensive as that seeing as I run it on high settings?
 
Also Neil when you had your cold boot issues previously when the system would shut off while booting then start fine after did you get a message about overclocking settings when it happend. I get this problem but am yet to try the new bios (F7)/also the PLL overcoltage fix

Thanks

I did with the previous beta yes but not with F7E, however if I do get any cold boots I just pull the psu cable out when it shuts off then put it back in. I've only had one or two cold boots in over a month which is fine with me :)

Awesome. Will have to give it a try. So you did get the overclocking message?, somebody elsewhere said if you get the message it could be due to something else but I presume seeing as it sounds the same it is probally the same issue you had

Also thanks for the info!
 
It was down to a firmware issue on the chipset, thus because the computer shut itself off it detects that it was an overclock problem which it wasn't, you could get it at default settings too :(. However even if you update to F7 the new bios you still may get a cold boot at some point. But what ever you do don't let it restart on it's own straight away just pull that psu cable out and put it back in then let it boot.

Oh and back up the other bios too when it's all started up correctly after flashing! :D

I wrote down all my BIOS settings etc yesterday so will flash it when I get home and see how it goes. Only happens every so often but when it does it seems to sometimes reset my RAM settings which I then have to go in a chnage when it happens. But my computer is stable when running benchmarks so surely it wouldn't be the ram?, running Corsair Vengeance 8GB LP

Agian thanks for your replys. Can you give thanks on this fourm?
 
Finally after having a nightmare with my settings I think I have it pretty damm stable at 4.5Ghz. What do you guys think of these benchmarks? (Also I have Corsair 8GB which is 1600 and the z68-UD3P)

- Temp averaged around 68oC
- VCore average around 1.35

On last run:

After Stresstest:

Do these results look good? | Now just to fix my boot problems that come up occasionally and I'm done :D

Is it possible to get the idle temps lower. My CPU clocks down to 1.6Ghz when under small load but my vcore is still staying at 1.36 which surely isn't needed?

I have only just built my new rig, i am on bios F2 if its stable at stock should i update before starting to overclock

Would probably be best as when updating the BIOS 1. You can loose the overclock settings and 2. If they have changed something you might get different results with settings that once worked perfect on a previous version

Also there are a few options in the bios used on page 1 that aint there in bios 7F
