***Official Ivybridge Overclock Thread***

Having some issues at the moment in that my bios won't recognise any changes I try to do to it. I want to lower my vcore offset slightly as it's about 0.25v up for some reason in a stress environment. So I lowered it and the change didn't occur. I then loaded optimized defaults and it's still on my overclock. Did this about 3 times and nothing happened, still my old settings. So I removed the mobo battery and nothing has changed. All the input values read as defaults, but the output in the bios and in cpu z shows my overclock values have not changed.

Any tips? Bios is the latest.
 
reflash the same bios and it should save the settings again,it seems to be common problem on gigabyte z77 esp if you use a beta bios

no issue's like that if you use latest final bios
 
idk?

you should be 100% stable with offset and all power states on imo,ive never once had to disable those and im at 4.8ghz

if it's not stable you need more offset or a higher llc level and slightly less offset,whatever works best

remember you can switch to high performance power profile in windows 7/8 power saving options,that will make cpu run full speed/voltage all the time without disabling eist in the bios,once done rendering select balanced for power saving at idle

saves a lot of hassle in the bios

I'm fully stable. What was causing my instabilities a few posts ago was the CPU EIST function along with using offset. Disabled the function and stopped getting whea errors, but now I can't seem to change any setting in bios. Will try and reflash it and hope that allows my to lower my volts a little, as my vcore is 0.25v over the stable volts, probably from assuming I needed to increase my vcore to stop getting whea errors from the above advice.
 
you just need time to fine tune it

im using offset and eist just fine

try reflashing the same bios or go back to latest final bios if using a beta,final bios doesn't seem to do it (not save settings)
 
So I delidded my i5, applied some Coollaboratory Liquid Pro to the CPU die and IHS etc My load temps have dropped quite nicely on three of the cores but Real Temp reports one core running approx 12-15c higher than the others. Do you think it is worth remounting the h80i? Or is this common?

Edit : So i reseated the whole lot, I don't think enough was applied. My temps are more even across all 4 cores and lower too.

Lol mate, as i said to you on battlelog, every system i owned has worked ok, but not to the expectations that i have. My 3770k was abysmal, 1.340 vcore but still not stable at a measly 4.5ghz. And when running sli you need that speed to get the most from your cards.:)

I hope his 4770k is a good clocker!

Well it's up and running now illuz, the maximus VI board is amazing, bit tighter than the P8 Z77 V Pro with sli and i cant use my xonar dx unless i change the k2 to a clc (aka heap of junk). The chip has been ran briefly at 4.6ghz on 1.25v, much more promising than the 3770k.
 
Cheers mate, the rig is still very much a work in progress. Looks a total mess tbh lol. Got new part syndrome and built it bit by bit over a few days. Cant wait to finish it properly and start to oc.
 
Having a play with mine atm, got it runnning below 1.27v but temps in the 80s. Had some problems with Prime95, a few times it stopped responding, then it tells me worker 5 has stopped, restarted it and then 6 stops. Got up this morning, ran ITB on max for 10 runs, still temps in the 80s and core voltage below 1.27.
Now I`m running Prime as I write, temps back at 70 max and voltage at 1.29. Hav`nt changed anything in the bios, so I`m a bit mystified.
