Hi Folks,
I just finished building my new rig and wondered if you could give some advice on overclocking.
Asus P8Z77-V
8 gig Corsair vengeance 1600mhz
i5-3570K
I am having some issues (i think) with power-saving. I tried using the auto overclock tuner software, but when i reboot and get to the post screen
it always shows the same default cpu speed and no mention of the new overclocked frequency. Also i went in to bios (reluctantly), changed the
cpu ratio to manual and inputed 44 and checked BLCK to 100, but the frequency in win 7 (64bit) is fluctuating and all over the place. I am checking
details using 'cpuz' and 'real temp', but it isnt staying at a set 4.4mhz.
I have turned off the things in the bios that i think are power saving features but its still changing. What am i missing maybe?
I tried setting the vcore voltage to 1.25 but the pc kept shutting down/starting up over and over until (i think) it set the right voltage. This shutting
off and turning on again makes me nervous lol. Makes my think ive done something drastic. Not used to it in this new bios. I just want a stable OC
that i can try with a stress test.
Any help would he awesome.
P.S Is i it ok to overclock the cpu but keep the ram at 1600?
