I5 2500k help

bluemax · 19 Jan 2012 at 22:25

i had an old I7 920 chip and overclocked it ok to 4.2, but ive got a new board GA-Z68 with an I5 2500k.

at the min i cant find how to change CPU volt in bios ive read some posts and managed to hit 4.0 but as of yet not stress tested, anyone got same/similar setup with some basic settings i could use to start with??

Thanks.

ignor my signiture, havent been on in ages and i need to update it!

What is the model number of your motherboard, is it Z68AP -D3?

for my asus, its + or - (offset voltage) rather than the traditional "input your voltage" so it maybe similar in your case...

Same as the Z68AP -D3. the vcore is automatically set and you have to use Dynamic vcore (DVID) to + or - volts to your auto vcore setting.

Or you can set manual voltage which at the start, is a lot easier than working out the correct offset voltage.

its z68ap-D3 F6
im new to DVID how do you calculate it? to set your Vcore?.
Just been playing arround and set DVID to +0.040 QPI to 1.160 and stress testing as we speak and temps are running arround 48/49

cpu freq is 100x40
and cpu PLL is 1.700

in gigabyte its called dvid just see what auto uses or might need to set to normal on cpu voltage then add extra in dvid,qpi/vtt you wont need half as much its different for sb,sshould run fine at stock 1.015v for qpi/vtt and run ram at rated 1.5v-1.6v max no higher

If using the Z68AP -D3 board there is no option to set the vcore voltage manually you have to use Dynamic vcore (DVID). I hope in future bios updates this option is available because using DVID offset is a pain in the bum.

Same ere!

I,ll try reseting qpi to stock and see what happens. Ram is set to 1.5v.

Also it seems that i can only get up to 4.0ghz as when i try to up the base clock say from 1000 to 1100 (as to my new board) or anything and reduce the ratio to 20 to get somthing like 2.9ghz, i wont post :confused:

it seems to only like the base clock setting of 1000.
memory is a single channel kingston 2gb 1600.

right set all volt settings to auto except ddr to 1.500v multipler to x41 thats all i can get? to get 4.10ghz and now using prime95 on torture test on high FFT's, temps running between 42 to 50c on full load.
