I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking
- Thread starter Neil79
- Start date
First off grats on a ridiculously good chip!. That VCore is among the best I have seen for a 4.5 OC. And yes around 29 - 33 is perfect idle temp and 32 is what I'm currently running at for comparison
, another random BSOD again while on YouTube. I have no bloody idea what is causing this 
. Back to the drawing board...

please check this for me
on idle cpu-z is showing 4513 mhz is this correct

On idle it should go down. Do you have C states enabled and EIST?
CPU ENHANCED HALT C1E [ ENABLE ]
C3/C6 STATE SUPPORT [ ENABLE ]
CPU EIST FUNCTION [ ENABLE ]
True even though my settings above are on AUTO it shouldn't be idling at full speed with low volts

im sure the settings above are on auto should i try them on enable.

hi
my vcore in bios is set to 1.265 LLC 5
left prime running overnight all passed.

Yeah that's wired because it seems to be ramping up a lot when under load. What does CPU-z show your VCore as when running IBT.
Ow and btw I think your signature is on too many lines. Check the rules over here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=118758

got it sorted now uninstalled intel rapid storage
Has anyone got 45X working with DVID? I am suffering from vdrop so can't get stable using Dynamic Vcore Offset (I set +0.70 in BIOS and it reads 1.42v in BIOS for 45X which is too high and drops to 1.32v in windows running prime, which is too low... Is the only way to overclock to 45X and beyond using a fixed vcore with LLC on this board?
Why not use Turbo Boost like the post suggests?. Like Neil said before at some point this board suffers bad VDroop and it is the best option to use
I did try Turbo when using dynamic vcore but it wasn't working properly so the Multi in windows got stuck at 33X. So I am now trying overclocking with a dynamic vcore at 45X with Turbo disbaled. The vdrop is very bad though. My brother has an older gigabyte mobo and he has got it stable at 45X as he can use LLC at the same time as dynamic vcore...
If getting dynamic vcore doesnt work at 45X then I will have no choice but to OC using the LLC method stated by the OP, but I am worried about running vcore at a fixed setting 24/7 with no lowering at idle plus the suggestion by some people that LLC creates micro second voltage spikes...

My 2500k is at 4.6ghz on my Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P. All I did was disable turbo, all of the power states and speedstep options and disabled the xtreme memory profiles and set it manual to x16.00 and timings to 9-9-9-24-1T.
Voltage is around 1.36v which is fine as my air cooling setup is epic.

Hi all 
First post here, just wanted to say a huge thank you for posting the settings.
I finally upgraded to a more "current" computer this week (I've not done a build since my AMD XP 2500 barton core was alive and kicking...) so I bought myself a GA-Z68AP-D3 (new, ex display), an i5 2500k, a HD6850, and 8gb corsair vengeance ram along with a couple of other bits.
I only built it last night, and tried some basic multiplier o/c work - I've been reading up on various forum posts as overclocking has changed a lot since my teens! (we're talking 7 years or so here). So anyway, I knew nothing. I set it all up, and amazingly it booted first time defying all historical trends
I downloaded the latest bios (the UEFI one) in blissful ignorance then began trying to o/c. Nothing was stable above about 4ghz... Then I noticed no LLC option in the bios. I was also getting some weird random power-cycling pre-post, post-fails, flashing cursors after post etc... The short version is that I spent hours and hours trawling the Internet reading every relevant thread/article I could find, before realising the UEFI bios was a bad idea. What am I missing here? Why have Gigabyte seemingly gimped overclocking? Just getting the thing to pass the splash screen was hard enough half the time.
Using that obscure russian video/tool, I flashed back to the "FD" one, then applied the settings from page 1 of this thread for 4.5ghz. IT'S STABLE SO FAR!
BF3 plays beautifully, 3dmark 06/11 both ran great, prime95 ran for an hour straight without issue so far. Temperature wise I'm idling at around 30/33/35/35. Max temps reported during any stress testing was 68/75/76/78 but for the last 30mins of prime95 it's been at 61/69/70/69. I'm using a Hyper 212 Evo. These temps are all fine aren't they?
All in all, I'm extremely happy and wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread constructively, as I was starting to think I might have bought a dodgy mobo.
regards,
Matt

I don't know if it was my old BIOS.. F6 I think? Or my Crucial Ballistix tactical tracer which I actually suspect but after a switch to corsair vengeance and the UEFI BIOS I've gone from having clocking so shaky I didn't bother to a seemingly stable 4.3ghz which suits me just fine.
