Overclock i5 2500k & GD65

Hi all I am looking to overclock my i5 2500k and GD65 to 4.8ghz 24/7 is this safe to do so without degrading my components? Also I am not very clear with all the functions in the bios, there seems to be a lot if voltage settings. Can someone please advise me on starter settings I should try and if they don't work what then gets changed.
Thanks
Michelle

Well thats how they keep it clean and tidy here and the majority that comes here likes the way the forum is run.
If you come from other (manufacturer/OEM/whatever) forums and Ive been to my share, I know what, you're most likely, referring to.
But overhere we dont like flamewars, trolling, bashing against the brand/forum/manufacturer, we are keen to give help only and not feed someones personal vendetta, as that's how things on other forums tends to go, when not strictly moderated.
But this is just my opinion.
As said by Bernhard please list all of your components so we now what you have and we can help somewhat better.
As all overclocking is concerned, yes there is a risk that it goes wrong.
Is it safe to run 4.8GHz, 24/7? Nobody but time can tell since you run it out of specs and thus Intel doesnt give any guarantees, but will you get there with the cpu is also the question.
Some get it to +5GHz on air, others barely reach 4.3GHz, it all depends on what the cpu can handle and nobody can tell you that either, not even Intel.
Best way to start is read up, have you done that and think you know the basics of overclocking, then up the multi without any voltagemodifications at all and see how far it goes.
If you reach the point where you BSOD, then up the Vcore by 1 or 2 notch and see if you can get higher.
At the end you'll need to tweak some other things too and dont forget to stresstest it in between, its not punching the numbers and presto its done.
Overclocking can be a long and tideous process and as said, you'll need to test a lot to see if the system holds
The max safe Vcore, as what to tweak more, I dont know yet, but others here probably will, Im still saving/reading up for my P/Z68 rig.
A few more words of advice, dont overclock it with standard intelcooler and get a good quality psu and if youre not sure at all, leave it as is.
Thanks for all that info , I think I answered it in my above post.The only thing I did backwards is I upped my multi to 46 and vcore to 1.35v then kept the multiplier the same and reduced the vcore until I blue screened then went back up 1. Kinda the same thing I suppose. Do i just do the same for 47 and 48 then? Other voltages I changes were, IO voltage to 1.176, SA voltage to 1.19 I think that was about it but the last 2 I just followed the guide for them, don't really understand what they do tbh

But i want to still have low frequency in idle, for that, what setting causing this EIST or C1E ? Or both ? I mean if i want to have 4.5Hhz on load, and 1.6Ghz on idle, for having 1.6Ghz on idle i need to enable both EIST and C1E, or just one of them, and the other disabled.
The setting is vcore=auto, c-states=enabled and EIST=enabled not C1E as it was in 775 processors. Ivy Bridge has less VID voltage than Sandy Bridge and that means that most of IB will overclock less at auto voltage so most of them will only get 4.2 to 4.4 Ghz.
Quote from: CalinTM on 20-September-12, 05:29:06
OK, so in short answer, i will let the internal pll overvoltage to enabled ?
Disable it, internel PLL overvoltage is for extreme overclocking and might help above 4.8Ghz and that's it. According Intel can cause some CPU degradation overtime.
Quote from: CalinTM on 20-September-12, 05:29:06
1. After a CPU overclock in my case, the Intel C State (or something like that) sets to disabled. I am able to enable it again ?
And i don't understand that feature, what it actually does ? I have the options C2, C4, i think, and some auto and no limit. I should let it disabled for a OC, or enable it ?
You can and should leave it enabled it, it makes huge difference in the processor power consumption and it causes no instabilities with casual overclocking.
Quote from: CalinTM on 20-September-12, 05:29:06
2.On my PCI-E settings, i have some PCI Latency, and it's set to 32, by default. I Can achieve better overall performance if i set it to 64, or it's useless ?
32 is the best performance.

I recommend searching the threads that specialize in the 'Turbo' OC method. Ivy CPU's are not super OC'ers on conventional cooling solutions, but excellent performance can be pulled out of them in the 44X-45X range and still keep all the power saving features intact as well. CPU V. left alone to work on Auto is recommended. Initially for testing, set VDRoop to 100%. Disable EuP 2013, Overspeed Protection, and Spread Spectrum.

With the CPU Core Ratios in CPU Features back to Auto or their default, set the Adjust CPU Ratio to 43X at first just to test it for POST completion, OS loading and stability. Turbo and Enhanced Turbo could be set to disabled. Internal PLL to enabled. Try VDroop in Auto or it's other available setting. CPU PLL to 1.82v's - 1.84v's, EuP 2013, Spread Spectrum, and Overspeed Protection keep disabled. Reset the CPU Features power and duration limits back up to the previous settings as discussed.
As you said, there is a problem with the BIOS version. I tried to overclock with CPU Ratio method, unsatisfactorily. setting the CPU Ratio at 40 the system fail.
I recently tried with OC Genie Button, but the Frecuency doesn't go above 3.7Ghz, but the CPU Ratio Limit is set in 42.
you can see the picture.

Maximum safe voltage for onboard GPU (GT overclocking) on 2500k using Z68A-GD65?

i am currently stuck on using onboard graphics of my 2500k which is HD 3000 until i wait for my new GPU to arrive(probably 2-3weeks from now )
i looked everywhere and can't find any answer on how high should be the limit for onboard GPU overclocking
the option is from 1.0-1.35v
how high is the safe limit for onboard gpu voltage so i could start pushing the chip ?

The best I can advise is to delete Control Centre from your PC and attempt changes via the BIOS. IF that fails then MSI technical needs to be advised so that they can try and simulate your hardware combo. If it does work via the BIOS, then MSI technical should be advised irrespective about the Control Centre's inability to perform the functions it should.
My own experience with Control Centre software has been anything but satisfactory. The best way is still to tweak via the BIOS.
Just to confirm, you did do a CMOS reset/clear after the BIOS update? Power cord removed..... the normal procedure?
Yeah I've been working in the BIOS.. Bummer the tool lets me change everything but the CPU ratio..
I cleared CMOS w/ the same process you mentioned a few times prior to be sure..
Just after I made the initial post I opened a tech support tkt so we shall see.. I still think it has something to so w/ the BIOS interpreting my CPU as locked but I could be wrong..
Thanks for your assistance.. I appreciate it..

Overclocking the z77a-gd65 board

Hello my new found friends (I hope).I am new to both these forums and overclocking but I'm willing to learn. I have a msi z77a-gd65 mobo, 32 gigs crucial memory with an i7 3770k cpu rated at 3.5 GHz. I also have a corsair H80i cpu liquid cpu cooler. Right now the cpu is running at 4.2 GHz but I would like to try to go higher manually if I can. If any body can help with easy to follow instructions on how to do this I will be extremely grateful.

I recommend searching the threads that specialize in the 'Turbo' OC method. Ivy CPU's are not super OC'ers on conventional cooling solutions, but excellent performance can be pulled out of them in the 44X-45X range and still keep all the power saving features intact as well.

i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
So, for your 300Mhz this makes : 300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.

MOVED: Overclocking and RAID, do they mix???

Overclocking and RAID, do they mix???

What board do you have? It makes a difference in this case. For example, the Via K8T800 based boards do not have PCI/AGP locks, so raising the FSB overclocks all the other components as well, including the HDD controller, and it has been observed that for these boards, RAID arrays will become unstable at FSB settings above about 225 MHz, at most, so overclocking and RAID do not really gotogether on these boards. The nforce3 based boards, on the other hand, should have PCI/AGP locks, though I think (but I'm not sure) that you have to explicitly enable them in BIOS, and I've seen some threads questioning whether or not they actually work, so again the board might have problems with high FSB settings, although I'm pretty sure an nforce3 board would have a working lock and thus be able to overclock with a RAID array defined. Finally, if you have a nforce4 based board, it should definately have a functional lock on it, and it should handle the RAID just fine when overclocking.

Overclocking MSI X58A-GD65

Greetings to all!
I would like to overlock my computer properly in order to be able to achieve better perfomance in gaming
That is due to the reason I don't want to spend more money to this computer (I have already spent a lot)
My system build is:
Tower: CoolerMaster Cosmos RC-1000
PSU: CoolerMaster Real Power M850
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster V8
Motherboard: MSI X58A-GD65
RAM: OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Intel® i7 Triple Channel [3x2GB, 1600 MHZ, 8-8-8-24

HDD3: Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB (WD6402AAEX) [Sata 3]
Optical 1: Samsung 223QRSMN DVD-RW [Sata ?]
OS: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
As you can see my build can be considered high-end.
So far I have overclocked CPU to run at 3.0 GHZ and RAM speed at 1800 MHZ.
If I set CPU to run at a higher speed the system boots fine but the OS refuses to start
Also I have encountered some hang ups in games. I believe it's because of the automized RAM timings.
In order to overclock I have to access the "Cell Menu" in BIOS Settings.

Ouf, that all the options in Cell menu... This motherboard must have been designed for professional overclockers.
So any suggestions, any guides that I should follow?
I have heard and seen on the internet that Core i7 920 can reach 4,0 GHZ but not quite stable can I achieve such perfomance with good stability?
How do I get the real full specifications of these RAMs?
Should I enable some of the CPU features to conserve power and have a better temperature?
Should I enable also green power?
PS) Again to clarify it. I'm aiming for perfomance.

Quote from: Jack on 23-November-10, 21:46:51
It does not make sense to try overclocking the CPU and rhe memory at the same time, as it does not allow you to know if stability problems are caused by instable memory settings or instable CPU related settings.
Because of that, you should split your whole OC task into two obectives:
1. Objective: Overclock the CPU, not the memory.
2. Objective: Once the desired CPU Overclock is reached & stable, start worrying about the memory.
To reach your first objective, please keep your memory speeds as low as possible (keep it @DDR3-1066) and focus on the processor only.
So should I leave all the RAM options to Auto?
