Overclocking GPU and CPU.

yes you have to up the volts.

Don't worry I'm noob to OC too.

After you have set the Clock speed (Ratio) you need to find a voltage that works for it. so just keep uping it till it works then test it using intel burn test. And if it crashes or fails then up it more. then when it passes run the test 2twice or more to double check then run some of your most cpu intensive games and make sure it's all good

I have only got mine at 4.2 at the moment. I haven't really needed to go higher yet.

Hope that helps ^^^

If not i'll try to explain better.

Edit: The voltages appear further down the page. you'll know when you see it. Just don't go too high. Little increases at a time. Start from about 1.25 or something. then keep increasing little by little. =D

thanks

you dont need to OC to game !!!!!!! so they say, they say you dont need to go higher than 4.4, which is what i'm on

it isn't easy to get the Asrock over 4.5, i think you also need to adjust the cpu volts as well..... no idea how or where to do this !

go to the OC tab in the bios and keep going down past the ram timings and stuff

Ha it will. Erm. It should say CPU volts or something. Or core not sure. But it should give you a option of either fixed or something else. I was told to put it to fixed and then change it to what I wanted. It should be at auto if you haven't changed the Volts yet.

yes but without knowing for sure i'm not adjusting anything, because when you see the list, the CPU volts could be anyone of those.... and if you get it wrong it could screw up your pc.... i'll have another look on the other forums

ok. =D

Hopefully someone with a good overclocking knowledge will read this and help you out

This was totally not to bump it

If I'm honest until I got my IB I had 0 knowledge of OC'ing. I just learn very quickly when it comes to technical things. I read up a lot on SB and IB pre IB release before I even bought my rig and as such learnt a lot about how to OC etc. It's really not that hard. Anything after a Z68/P67 chipset is easy as cake to OC (that is setting wise compared to skt775 BIOS' etc)

Yeah it was ridiculously easy after you explained it to me
