GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (rev 1.3) + i5 2500k
« on: January 27, 2013, 04:10:58 am »
Hey everyone,

Is there anyone using this motherboard and overclocked their i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz? I would like to see your settings please.

I have tried 4.5ghz it's very stable but I realize the voltage went up to 1.381v, I cant change the Vcore settings on BIOS because it doesn't have one, there is only the DVID which I tried to lower the voltage but it still rise up to 1.381v.

Is there a settings I must change to not let my Vcore increased when it's at full load? Also does the F13 BIOS has the Vcore settings feature?

Thanks, please help ASAP!

SPEC:

i5 2500k + Hyper 212 EVO
8 GB RAM @ 1600mhz
GTX 560 Ti
TX 750 PSU

Sorry for double posting, but can one of the employee that works with gigabyte to try using the GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (rev 1.3) + i5 2500k and try to overclock it to 4.5ghz. I would like to see the settings and this will help more people with motherboards without a Vcore settings on the BIOS.

I couldn't find any solution on the web, so hopefully you can answer please.

Thank's

If you're using Dynamic VCore, then of course your VCore will rise under full load—it has to compensate for Vdroop. How else would it maintain stability? Also, some chips simply require more voltage than others to run at certain frequencies; maybe your 2500K just needs that much voltage.

Judging from what you're giving us, 1.381V is seemingly the stable voltage for your CPU under full load at 4.5GHz. Please give us more information on your overclock. That is, provide other MoBo settings like QPI/VTT, CPU PLL (if used), DRAM frequency, DRAM voltages, DRAM timings, stress test program, duration of stress test.
