is it wise posting the serial number - surely they are tracked to given lots to retailers

Some new BIOS options when used with a GA-Z68XP-UD4

Buckster · 23 Apr 2012 at 18:35

Not done any overclocking yet, will soon.

ok thanks for reply

just 2500ks are so cheap and seem to overclock so well - I've not heard good things (listen to OC3D review of 3770k which means the I5) about the Ivy I5 clocking

Strange, maximum selectable CPU ratio is 38X with my GA-Z68XP-UD4

More investigation required.

CPU-Z reports 77W, the box definitely says 95W

That would be speedstep in action. The multiplier is only 16x (1.6Ghz) so it draws less power.

Would be nice to see some graphics benchmarks from you using the onboard intel hd 4000.

Would you have to disable turbo in bios?

Tried that, also tried adjusting all four Turbo cores to higher values, but cant, really weird.

Must be missing something obvious, havent used this board for awhile and have lost my mojo.

I don't think SpeedStep affects the Max TDP reported.

With my i7-2600K it says 95W when idling at 1600MHz or going full pelt overclocked.

Do you need to do a BIOS update?

Its on F6 which is the latest, cant actually remember ever flashing to F6 to be honest, swear I was on F4 last time I used this board.

Bloody Gremlins messing with me

Post up how you get on, I'm looking at putting a 3570K in a Z77X-UD3H, so will be very interested in how you get on.

You got any tasty RAM to try with the IB? Interested to see what improvements there are in RAM overclocking.

james_ati · 23 Apr 2012 at 22:04

Cant wait to see the OC results...

I hear those paper heat spreaders are all the rage

Its just a spare stick of some cheap tat that I thought would be a good idea to just buy and stick in a draw if I ever needed it.

When your not looking I'll have a rumage through the draw, if that's ok? ...maybe you left a sandybridge lying around! :rolleyes:

it really wasnt much, a bucket of chicken from Miss Millies costs more.
