Overclocking Using Smart Quick Boost

[Larkina]

I'm currently using the z68xp-ud4  motherboard version 1.3. Running Windows 7 64bit. What I wanted to know is how to overclock my Intel i5 2500k processor to 4.3ghz Using the Touch Bios program? I'm able to overclock to the 3.7ghz range but anything beyond I seem to have problems with. I'm using a Corsair H50 water cooling system which works quite well. Average temps on idle are between 33-34c range. On full load it never goes above 58-60c. verified by RealTemp v3.70. I have 8gb of GSkill Ripjaw 1333 memory 2x4gb dual channel ram. Also using Shin Etsu thermal paste, 1 MSI N560gtx 1024m,GDDR5, Twin Frozr II video card. Everytime I set the TouchBios program to 4.3ghz it works for a while but then my computer freezes up and stop doing anything. I know from a little experience that this could be that I need to kickup the Vcore voltage settings just a little at a time until the computer boots or as in my case stop freezing up. Thank you for any help in advance.


And one other quick question is once you set your overclock on the TouchBios program can you save those settings to the BIOS so want have to keep going through the TouchBios program?

Hi, Im z68xp ud4 user too,

dont use smart quick boost to OC, the voltage seems a little bit 'dangerous'

im at 1,392v at 4,3ghz,  with smart quick boost.

the temp hit 70C at full load ( using frio ), maybe this is effect of the 'big' vcore ??
