GA-Z68-D2H-B3 Bios limitations
« on: August 15, 2011, 07:15:46 pm »
I'm running the subject board with an i5-2500k with a 212+ with hyperX 1600 9-9-9-27 in CM Sniper cases.

What's with the bios?

It came with F2 which I was able to OC to 4.5 fairly easily but I had some stability issues when under very little load.
The bios had no options to change Internal CPU PLL overvoltage Load line calibration, VCORE!, CPU PLL or System Agent Voltage so I thought I'd update the bios to F8 to see if it had more options. It didn't and I could OC past 4.3ghz at similar settings. So I tried F4. Similar experience to F8.

I ended up going back to F2 and getting stable at 4.8ghz (DVID +.10, QPI/VTT 1.14) on Prime95 small FFT and IBT but had trouble with Prime95 Blend; I need more options for tweaking! I seemed like OC was a part of this board but the bios lack of options makes it hard.

Any plans for PLL overvoltage, Load line calibration, vcore, cpu pll or system agent voltage being part of this bios? Is there a reason it wasn't included in the first place?

Hi and welcome.

I can't say at all as we don't have that sort of information.  All I can suggest is that you ask GGTS directly and see what they can tell you.

Just enter your email address and click on the language of choice.
