Strange Overclock attempt not working right

Mathius · 28 May 2013 at 23:02

I overclocked before using an earlier Bios version and all was fine....
Then I had my problem with enabling the RAM XMP profile, so thought updating the bios might help... (which it didnt, but ah well)

I've got the 1155 Gigabyte Overclocking Guide downloaded from youtube and I'm 20mins into it, so a default system searching for the lowest Vcore to run stable....

MIT
Core Freq - 34
T Core Freq - 38, 38, 38, 38
vcore - set to 1.000v (to test)

Ram.... (1600mhz Corsair XMS3)
Profile - Disabled
Set @ 1066
Perf Enc - Normal
DRAM - Quick

A Timing - Set as on the sticks - 9, 9, 9, 24 and CMD RATE - 1

Load Line Calib - Extreme

CPU Vcore - 1.000v
DRAM Voltage 1.500v

This is where my head spins.

Load CPU-Z and Core Freq (idle- looking on the forums) hovers around 3.8 ghz. (should be around 3.4)
Run IBT stress test and the freq doesn't move

--------
I'm doing something wrong, what I'm after is a 3.4ghz Idle and Turbo 3.8ghz..

lol, the way it should be straight out of the box.

Any Ideas?

I've reset CMOS, loaded optimised settings, and everything I seem to try keeps doing the same thing.

just press f7,optimized defaults, or flash the latest bios.

I have done, I'm back on the F16 bios which is the latest full release, still no joy. I think I'm missing something within bios but cannot for the life of me figure out what....

Thanks for trying to help though

so I take it your into ocing,if I were you I would forget your problem,set multi to 4.2ghz,run at 1.25v vcore fixed , and see how high you can get on that voltage

one other thing, is eist set to enable,also maybe disable c1/c3 state,this will give you a lower cpu frequency when idling/web browsing etc

Now I thought it was enable... originally I had this on Auto but made no difference....

I'll test it out again....
Thanks
