GA Z77 D3H Easy Tune 6 - No Quick Boost

[Hiro]

Hey, just build pc for a friend,

Gigabyte Z77 D3H
Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB

I installed latest Easy Tune 6 from the GA website but when browse through tabs, I dont see easy boost option anywhere. I red somewhere that updating Bios might help but it didnt in my case. Any thoughts?

I might be wrong but that CPU might not support it. By what I have read you can't OC that CPU and that might by why that tab isn't there.

What about with an I5 3570K?

Yes you should be able to OC this chip

I tried Easy Tune with my 3570K and just with the lowest overclock, just over 4.0 G it would run on the edge of over heating. That is with an H60 water cooler. Easy Tune overclocked using the bus speed, the voltage would go to 1.38. I went back to default and went to the BIOS and increased the multiplier to 42 for an overclock of 4.2+ G. Under full load the cores will get to about 73 C. With Easy Tune it was going 85 C+. The voltage stays around 1.27.
