Hi folks
I've been happily running my current system for about a year now clocked at 4.2. Done it the lazy mans way:
- Changed turbo boost values from 3.7,3.6,3.5,3.4 to 4.2,4.2,4.2,4.2
- Disabled Over-speed protection and increased short/long duration power limits
Left Speedstep on (preferred) and everything else on Auto.
Had to set memory by hand, as XMP not detected correctly by BIOS/mobo and volts to RAM at 1.52v
It's run 100% fine for 12 months at this and will take as many hours of IBT/Memtest/Prime 95 that you want to throw at it. And CPU volts are around 1.28v and temps not that much over 60C in Prime 95 (a bit higher in IBT max setting).
As you do... decided to see if I could coax any more out of the CPU (without much effort). So just increased the turbo boost values from 4.2, to 4.4.
It wil boot into Windows and run IBT at standard setting, but increase this to high setting and it BSODs (The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124).
Now wondering if it's a matter of taking the voltages in hand (so to speak), rather than auto. Or could something like the VDROOP setting help, currently set to high. Or maybe the RAM needs a bit more voltage?
As I say, I'd rather leave Speedstep on if possible. Not looking for the ultimate OC, but just interested to see if I can easily coax a bit more out of it.
Any suggestions?
