Your voltages looks fine. Pretty much all stock volts.
But i don't understand your 2nd question

lol sorry, forget about it.
so the LLC should set to ultra high? previously i set it as auto then it automatically ultra high
and how about the CPU Current Capabilities?

LLC Very High is recommended by Asus themselves.
Auto = Very High, so any selection also will give the same result.

yup i read that also, need to clarify it
btw, thanks man for replying fast!

hello guys, i just upgraded my system to intel, now im into overclocking,slowly learning here

put that aside, i just wanna some clarification, why my proc which is i52550k voltage very high on offset mode?at 4.0ghz its 1.38v already..i tried manual voltage, it run stable on 1.2v @4ghz..proc or mobo prob? im using asrock z77 extreme 4..using manual OC, proc stay 4ghz no matter what condition, idle or load..pls enlighten me, as this is a new world for me..

edit/add info
and, why my proc idle temp is so high?using cm212evo with 2 fan, idle around 35-40, load around 55-60..these temp on stock clock which is 3.4~3.8(turbo)..

Offset mode is ultimately depends on the VID of the chip. Every CPU has different VID. It is also depends on what level of offset you set in BIOS, +0.05, -0.05, +0.1 etc which will tell how the chip will behave under load/idle.

Manual voltage on the other hand, will override VID, thus what vCore is set in BIOS + LLC is what you get in the OS. If you feel that manual voltage could give you better vCore then just use the manual mode. I myself, like most people out there prefer to OC with manual voltage. More comfortable.

If you don't want to see CPU clock @ 4.0GHz all the time, enable the SpeedStep (EIST), C1E, C3, C6 in CPU configurations in BIOS. In Windows, go to Power Management settings, change to Balanced or Power Saver plan, instead of High Performance.

ok,here is the latest oc ive done, hwmonitor and coretemp showing different cpu voltage..which one should i trust? this is on offset mode +0.005v with additional turbo voltage at +0.004v..and the temp is so hot @4.5ghz..im not planning 24/7 on this speed, just wanna see how far this proc could go with minimal voltage added..



btw, according to intel, 2nd gen i5 which is sandy bridge only support ram up to 1333mhz @1.5 volt, is there any downside if i use xmp profile which is 1600mhz @1.65v?

update:now im on offset mode -0.005v, temp is much better, but i dont know about stability on idle

HWMonitor shows vCore, whilst CoreTemp shows VID so we would refer to the HWM.

It is fine to run a 1.5v rated RAM at 1.65v. The reason why 1.5v is specified in their specs is because Intel only validate their processors at 1.5v.

i just got a bsod just now, on windows 8 its hard to get the error code, but i manage somehow..its 0x124, and according to u in overclock.net forum, 0x124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT . so i think , i need tu bump the offset more..is that right?

BSOD 124 on this platform is referred to insufficient vCore. Try upping the vCore or offset.

Not sure whether this is good or not..try to push my 2500k to 4.6Ghz..maybe sifu can give some comments here..

Is it normal if BCLK not staying at 100. Mine keep moving between 99.7 - 99.8, but never reach 100. I'm leave it at default in bios.
;i5-2550k
;Z77MA-G45

It is normally for MSI & Gigabyte boards, there's about 2% variation of BCLK.
I'd just manually set the BCLK to 100.1 or 100.2 in BIOS.

Thanks a lot bro , i thought something wrong with my chip. Very relieved that doesn't affect anything . Will try adjust manually later...

Hey Guys,

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask but since this is OC thread for SB, I might as well ask for help here.
I did OC since I upgraded my system which is Nov 2011, and since that there is no problem until recently. So, here is the problem with my system. Every time I on my system, it will show the page Overclocking Failed. Please enter setup to re-configure your system. Press F1 to run setup. Then I thought my OC problem so I reset it to default which is no more OC but the problem still the same till now. Whenever the OC Failed page show, I need to enter F1 and go Bios, then I just need to discard changes and exit from bios it will boot to windows with no problem. But if I change something and save changes & exit from bios it would not boot to windows and it will shut down the system. One more thing is, every time I restart my system it will shut down the system instead of restarting it. I have to push the power button again to run my system.

I did read some of the solution suggested by any forum that I can find and I did all the solution but still same problem happen. So, I'd like to ask if any of u guys face the same problem or maybe know how to fix this problem. My friend thought maybe the OC chip on MoBo is burn or something, that's why this problem happen.

So guys, please help me fix this problem. Should I send the MoBo for warranty or what? Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi guys..

im using i7 2600K with asrock xtreme4 z77 mobo

my question is

why my CPU ratio the max is 42 only..
and it is ok to put BLCK to 105

Sounds like your mobo has a broken BIOS chip which cannot reset to default whenever you attempted to restore.
You might try to flash the BIOS to the latest revision in case if the BIOS is corrupted.
Otherwise, I'd say RMA the board is the best solution.

Sometimes it's hard to answer mobo specific issues. You might try reflash the BIOS to the latest one.
BCLK 105 is fine, as long as your chip is able to do it.

thanks bro...

Hey Bro,

I did flash to the latest BIOS but the problem still there. I've also troubleshoot everything else and there is nothing wrong with my psu, cpu, ram or any other. So, it should be my mobo. I think i will send it for RMA. Thanks for your opinion.

Hi guys, i overclocked my 2500K to 4.6Ghz but i am facing some problem when running LinX & Intel Burn Test

RAM Frequency:: 2133Mhz
VCORE:: 1.4
DRAM:: 1.65
others voltages are set to auto

Prime95 Max Temps
In-place FFTs :: 78C(MAX)
Blend Test:: 77-78C(MAX)

LinX test
Problem Size: 30600
Memory : 7168
Run: 20 Times

Intel Burn Test
Time to run :: 20
Stress Level:: Maximum
Threads:: All

i get error 0x101 & 0x124, which if im not mistaken means increase VCORE, but VCORE is already @ 1.4V, isnt it high for a 4.6Ghz OC, i have been keeping this setting for 2 weeks now, no problem until i encountered some lagging issues while playing FIFA, previously it was fine, even at stock setting FIFA runs smoothly. So i tested with LinX & Intel Burn Test, got blue screen redi with 2 types or error codes . Max temps for LinX before blue screen was 82c & 80c for intel burn test. I am really confused with where i am doing it wrongly, guide needed pls
