Overclocking a 3770k with a Gigabyte Z77X-UP7

You have a 3770K doing 5ghz and you use IBT oh dear!!! Dont torture good silicon. It wont remain good for long!!!

UP7 is a good board should run that at XMP. You tried playing with VTT and IMC volts. Giga Z77 board auto is way too low something like 0.9v when should be 1,05 stock. Test at 1.15v.

ALso test with TWCL forced to 8+ and TRFC around 264 to start with.

No good.. Boot looped :(

Won't pass POST with memory set over 1333Mhz :(

Even with VTT set at 1.15v

Tried it with CPU at stock speeds and no go..
 
Tried that BIOS when I had my 2600k installed and it was screwy..... messed up Windows, even when CPU was at stock, thought it was caused by the updated firmware in the drivers.

Maybe I'll try it again later..
 
It doesn't want to boost to 5Ghz now either and when it does boost it's very slow to react and boost up :(

Intel burn test can get it to boost to 5Ghz but normal software and games struggle to get it to boost over 2.6Ghz.
 
Took a risk and reflashed with the beta BIOS you posted Wazza and I'm now in windows at stock CPU speed with mem at 2400Mhz with XMP enabled :)

Just got to put my OC back on now :)
 
That did the trick.... Never had an OC that's passed IBT but fails games before...

Got to work on the memory now as it's horrible according to AID64 bandwidth test.
