i5 2500k intelburntest FAIL?

hydie · 9 Sep 2011 at 20:55

Hi guys,

I've got my i5 2500K running at 4.4ghz. I've just ran a intelburntest to see if its stable and it gave me an error..see below. My idle temps are 31~34oc.

My specs:

H80 CPU Cooler (Cooler Half Price)
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68
Corsair PC Starter Bundle 2000c - 600TM Case

What went wrong?

I'm guessing you need to up the voltage until it stops erroring.

this. bump volts to 1.35 then try if no error lower volts unyill error again then raise a little and test again

Thanks ill give it ago.

My max temps got to 65oc before erroring. Does that sound about right with my specs?

Mine hits the mid 60's under load so yeah, I reckon so.

Have you disabled spread spectrum in BIOS? Most people recommend that you do for stability when overclocking. I ask because your base clock reads 99.8 rather than 100, which suggests you have spread spectrum enabled.

Temperatures look fine btw - my CPU gets to 74C after 12 minutes burn test, even though it only gets to 65 running P95 overnight.

1.3v should be sufficient for 4.4ghz unless you get a lot of voltage droop.

Temps aren't an issue.

I've actually already got the voltage on "Fixed" "1.30v"... I've disabled "Spread Spectrum" though.

Is there no loadline calibration setting? 0.05v droop is a nightmare amount for overclocking.
