I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking

Are you sure it's overclocking causing that error?, could you use bluescreen viewer and see if it's related to any software?...

I had some bsod issues awhile back on idle, turned out to be my RealTek Ethernet drivers causing it. As for nvidia drivers i'm using 296.10 :)
 
Also In BlueScreenView it says it was caused by hal.dll and ntosknl.exe

The last 10 memory dumps are all STOP 0x124 errors - usually indicating a hardware problem. BUT, this can also be a compatibility issue, an issue with low-level drivers, or even malware caused.
After updating the drivers i've mentioned it might be worth upping your core volts to that of 1.330V, there maybe a possibility that your chip doesn't like whatever mhz it's been set to. Some people have even had to have 1.4V just to get 4.5! but again this might not be the cause, could be memory related which means memtest.

All stabbing in the dark here :(

Out of interest also make sure your PSU is putting out the correct volts across the range, another thing to test... test everything!
 
too much is highly doubtful, as he isn't using too much...

perhaps pushing it to 1.2 QPI and 1.625V for dram but i would not go any higher and i'm still doubtful that it's down to this as he says gaming is fine and so is intel burn test.

who knows :D
 
Wrong board then :p

The Gigabyte ud3p most of the time needs atleast 1.2 qpi/vtt and 1.55 and upwards of dram however most have been ok with it lower for dram. On some boards it suffers from terrible vdroop issues! It wont be too much i can assure you
 
Leave c3/c6 states on auto as i have done

Wazza300 you are helping nobody is disagreeing with that fact, we are just disagreeing on what it could be :D

p.s Good idea on the dvid!
 
Why did you decrease DRam voltage? :p

I wonder is it only crashing out using chrome? and also you could always try uninstalling Flash, then trying firefox and flash again... Just trying something else really :/
 
your better of using normal cpu voltage and adding extra through dvid,that way it will raise idle cpu voltage slightly depending how much you use

The problem with that is and it's why I use LLC the UD3P it can suffer from nasty vdroop issues as you cannot use LLC and dvid/offset at the same time.

He might be ok but I know on a number of gigabyte boards i've tested you can have a vdroop from 1.40 dropping to 1.32 under load :eek:
 
Bit of an update but the last few days I decided to revisit this thread and do some extra tweaking of my overclock and i'm now running at 4.72GHZ with lower temps and more stable voltages. It's mainly down to a lower VTT and also a much lower CPU PLL!

Will adjust the settings now :)
