I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking

I think it depends on the load put on the cpu,sometimes it will fluctuate in voltage or if your at a certain point in offset/cpu multi

its down to what you feel comfortable with really,for me I wouldn't go above 1.4v,temps id like to keep around 75-80c full ibt stress load
 
Yeah, well I am happy enough for now with 4.4GHz, the jump on voltage from 4.4-4.5 seems a bit too much :confused: even though temps are fine.

currently, my max temp is 70C with very high IBT test.
Will try the negative offset to try and lower volts/temps even more :D
 
Just did more testing :D
Tried 4.6GHz with +0.035 offset, stable with very high IBT 10 runs.
Tried 4.7GHz from +0.035 offset onwards, got to 0.05 and still BSOD after just starting IBT, gave up.
Tried 4.6GHz again, but with +0.03 offset, BSOD.
Currently sitting with 4.6GHz with +0.035 offset.
 
what happened to 4.5ghz?

I don't use prime 95 tbh,i just do 5 runs ibt max stress if it passes that I just use pc day to day and any bsod's I usualy add one click more offset till no more blue screens,or one click vccio(cpu/vtt or qpi/vtt on gigabyte) and that's it

don't get any bsod's on mine
 
Happy enough with 4.5GHz with +0.03 DVID/offset, temps are just below 70C.
IBT Max stable for 20 runs and 15mins of OCCT with linpack stable.
Voltage are 1.356v but can get up to 1.368v at times.

4.4GHz was stable with +0.005 DVID but temps weren't that much better than with 0.03 DVID, probably 2C cooler at best.
 
Ive just got this board and a 2500k from moogleys :).
I need a bit of help though, the board is on the newest u1g bios revision. The problem is the dvid offset value is defaulted to auto and blanked out so i cant change it, any ideas?
 
no I meant,in the cpu voltage list you'll see it say normal,when you set it to that the dvid will light up meaning you can adjust it,it's like that for all gigabyte boards

setting to normal uses the cpu's default voltage,you then add what you need to be stable in dvid

im guessing maybe start low and add a few clicks if unstable so maybe +0.030v for 4.2-.4.5ghz and add more/less if needed

stress the cpu in windows and look in cpu-z to see what the load cpu voltage is and adjust dvid to suit

it's llc and dvid you can't use together on gigabyte z68,it's one or the other

keep all powersaving on,it shouldn't affect stability
