Overclocking this board is very different to the asus p8p67 deluxe.
when i use llc 5 cpu 1.35volts in bios, idle goes up to 1.37 and under load down to 1.32 should they be so much change in vcore. i know about vdroop but going over and well under seems weird.

What exactly is your question?
Click to expand...

on my p8p67 deluxe i would put 1.33 volts in bios for 4.6 ghz and idle would be about 1.34 under load about 1.33 under load. now on this motherboard im having to use 1.34 volts load line cal 5 for same overclock. in bios goes from 1.37 idle to 1.32 load., now thats a very big gap. tried all other llc and there just as bad. getting loads of blue screens 124 that is cpu volts. driving me mad. on p8p67 deluxe could run 24/7 4.8 ghz. lucky if i can get 4.5 on this.
 
hope you get it sorted and get a good clock as I have just ordered this board to replace my asrock fatal1ty that just died. thought these giga boards were supposed to be the best for overclocking

if any1 here can shed any light on setting to put in
instead of auto would be great. thx in response.
 
dont know about the giga but on the asrock had the same kind of v droop but it had offset voltage option. so say you set it to 1.35 you could add more voltage for load with the offset, that way you can keep idle voltages lower than full load voltages. I don't know the giga even has that feature but its worth a look m8

Yeah its what i used to use on the asus board. dont think this board has it :(
 
Different boards require different voltages to do the same thing. It might just be that on your old board the voltage needed for a certain frequency was reported as being lower. It is impossible to transfer the exact voltages across boards. Basically you will have to find out what your band of working voltages are at the frequencies you wish to be operational at.

I will have a look at my Z68X motherboard settings and post them here for you. Might be a day or two, or if I can find time later today. But so far it is pretty much the same as my P67A board.

What you should ensure is that you have the latest BIOS. Pretty sure you do :)
 
I've had a few setups in the past couple of years and have found the following:

Asus Intel = no v-droop on load. (P6X58D-Premium)
Gigabyte Intel = massive v-droop on load. (X58-UD5)

Asus AMD = massive v-droop on load. (Crosshair IV)
Gigabyte AMD = no v-droop on load. (890FXA-UD5)

The motherboards in brackets are what I had for reference.

I'm now on a Gigabyte P67A-UD7 which is of course Intel based and the voltage is again all over the place.
 
You cant use Dvid with llc enabled on Giga boards (p and z) with offical F3 - F5 (p) and all of he z boards. Bit of a pain really.
 
how you getting on with the overclock now? my board has turned up but I'm modding my case at the moment so wont be up and running till the weekend at best.
 
same problem now as you. I had a Asrock p67 fat1ality and cpu was happy at 4.8 with 1.37v now cant even get past about 4.2 on this Z68x-UD7. I am either not doing something right or this board is not a good for overclocking. I have only had it up and running for only a day, so hoping its that I am doing something wrong as the bios settings do seem a little different to wha I am used to. I would have thought it would still be easy to hit 4.6 tho. Im using the f6 bios, might try rolling back to an older version to see if that helps. The latest cpuz also does not report the actual voltage with this mobo?? worked fine on the p67.

Dazboots have you figured out how to get a good clock on this thing yet m8. If so please share coz its doing my head in. Starting to really wish my Asrock didn't die on me now.

Anyone else have this board? or the p67-ud7 as I am gussing the bios must be almost the same.

answering my own question here :p

But I changed the loadline calibration from 1 or 2 thinking that is teh least v droop setting to 10 and I'm back runing at 4.8 again:D

Is still a pain that cpuz don't report voltage as I would liek to see whats its runnig at under load.

Hi m8 for 100% stable can run @ 4.6 ghz and seems to use more volts.
i turned off cpu ppl turned all ce1 eist and others to disable.
im using load line calabration 6. this seems rock solid.
have u checked idle your cpu volts in windows and in load.

use easy tune 6 that came with the mobo for cpu volts. i bet your using far more volts to get it stable under load. have a look and let me know please.
mine is @ 1.356 volts idle. for 4.6 ghz. ht on

well acording to easy tune its sitting at 1.416v Idle and 1.44 load which is more than is needed on this cpu. The even stranger thing now is that I have even lowered my cpu v core in the bios to as low as 1.3v but it seems to do nothing and the v core remains as above. It more volts than I want to be running but its rock solid at 4.8 and even running prime 95 its not going above 65 degrees. Now I just need to work out why lowering the v core in bios is doing nothing and reduce teh v core going in as like I said this is more than is needed.

Its a real pain that no program like cpuz seems to report the voltage.

Ok I have it on 1.368v idle and its going to 1.38v on load with level 8 load line calibration. been running at 4.8Ghz for a few hours chucked everything at it played dirt 3 for an hour and it all seemed nice and stable. I guess its just a case of keep lowering it a notch at a time till I find the lowest volts I can run at these settings.
 
I'd roll back and try that, I did this morning to F5, and I'm getting much better results on voltage and stability on my Z68 UD4.

And was having similar issues with voltages peaking to high with the F6 bios.
