hi guys

got my new i52500k oem from overclockers :)
some of you may no about my last fail :mad:
anyways hows this looking and what next for stability/temps.
alll ive changed so far in bios is :

cpu ratio to 45.
xmp 1600.
cpu fan to turbo.

rest of the system looks like this.

Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard.
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz.
Gainward gtx 295.
Thermaltake toughpower 750w psu.

thanks for all your time and help guys ;)
 
that pic was after 2 hours of prime and cpu cooler is a cooler master Hyper 212 Plus 1 fan in push.
case is a thermaltake speedo which ive grown to hate and intend on replacing.
 
Try 10 passes of IBT on max. and see if it passes. If temps are bellow 72.6 and you get no errors then you could have a stable overclock.
 
would this be considerd a fail i had 1 core go up to 73c just once for about a second.
cpu-z core voltage never went above 1.288.
core temp vid went up to 1.3811 is that someting i should worry about ?

Looking good m8, looks like its stable enough for gaming and the likes. Vcore should stay bellow 1.4v I think for 24/7, lower of course is better.

IBT it for 20 on max. if you want to make really sure its stable but I leave it after 10 as I never seem to get crashes or BSOD if it passes 10.

you have to disable multithreading in bios,its intel burn test issue,you will see higher gflops with multithreading disabled

would like to know what coolers your all using ^^^

there is no multithreading on a 2500k is there ?

cooler im useing is a master Hyper 212 Plus (push only).

122 GFlops is that bad ? :|

No at 73C things change horribly in the cpu and degradation gets a boost. I'm joking of course, as the 72C some people like to quote so much is absolute Bull, thats the case temp (ihs, the metal part of the cpu) and not the core temp which is what you're reading and will be about 10c hotter. Keep it under 80C or so in IBT in warm conditions and you'll be fine for the foreseeable future. 122 gflops if fine and about right.
 
Hey dude what options did you use for that overclock? Looks good!:D
Im waiting for a big box to be delivered to my door on monday or tuesday with the sane mobo and cpu, already got the same ram and same wattage psu! Haha great minds think a like!

honestly all i did was :

drop the BCLK from 103 to 100
set the memory to xmp witch is 1600
and set the cpu ratio to 45

every thing else was left to the instaled values.
ive run every stress test i can find and not had 1 blue screen yet.
i will say when instaling the 212 plus i went a bit ott with the artic silver 5.
i used what was left in the tube and was a bit to much imo.
ive orderd some more so will reseat it when it comes to see if i can lower the temps a little.

i will have to post some resaults on my i5 oc when i get home

look forward to seeing them m8 :)

This is what i got after 10 passes of ibt.

So here we go - im new to oc'ing also - so please let me know if all looks ok on my setup???

Running IBT on Standard is pointless, it doesn't stress the CPU enough.
You need to run it on Maximum Stress Level (but make sure there is a little bit of free ram, so it doesn't use the page file)

Here's mine at 4.6GHz (take the screenshot halfway through the last run, to see the vcore under load)

Funny I get 66+ GFlops @ 4.6GHz on my i5 2500k

Just noticed this, you need ibt with AVX support, same for LINX. You haven't seen your cpu heat up yet!

Sorry to jack your thread but im kinda new to overclocking (overclocked my old cpu with not so good results) but i have done this intel burn test as showed above on max and did all threads, but my question is should my temps be nearly all the same or should they differ like mine do currently, i will include a SS below

Thanks

Same goes for you, your temps are ok and i suspect they won't be too bad, maybe 10-15C more with AVX .

Its from Intels spec sheet for 24/7 use. Its a guideline but going above it is not wise.
