I have tried to overclock my i5-2500K using Asus P8P67. I set the Vcore in the bios to auto and offset + mode. I set the BcLK = 100MHz, multiplier = 45x.

So during idle, I'm getting around vcore 0.9v. Running Prime95, I'm getting around 1.34v.
I tried to lower the vcore in the asus AI suite to 1.15v. Using this setting, i was getting Vcore reading from CPU-z and asus probe to be 1.25V. Idle = 0.87v.

If i were to set Vcore in the bios to 1.25V, the Vcore reading with CPU-z and asus probe will be always 1.24v during idle and load.

Just wanted to check with you guys, are you seeing the same thing. Meaning if you set manually the vcore, the vcore will just stay the same regardless of idle or load?

Thanks.

No, all retail is using the small HSF, the Intel BXXTS100H cooler they got was for review engineering samples only.

Ya, anyone heard anything from Asus Malaysia? Do we get a refund?

But that is just Asus Global official statement, just don know how Malaysia Distri will handle this.

I you are only OC to 4GHz, auto is fine.

did you check with all the seller in lyn? some of them should have stock for z68 extreme 4

ya it should be normal. the thermal paste
will not have a dramatic effect like 10'c.
