OverClock Settings for i5 2500k on ASRock Extreme3 Gen3

[Arlen10]

I'm currently using a stock cooler, I will receive my hyper 212 evo soon, and I want to overclock my i5 to 4.00Ghz exactly. I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to overclocking, do you guys know which settings I should use?

Here are my specs:

Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3 Ghz
ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 Z68
Nvidia Geforce PNY XLR8 GTX 460 OC
8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600 Mhz Corsair Vengeance Blue
Ultra LSP650 650W

Settings-------
Advanced Turbo 50:
Load Optimized CPU OC Setting:

CPU Control------
CPU Ratio Setting:
Internal PLL Overvoltage:
Intel Speedstep Technology:
Intel Turbo Boost Technology:
Turbo Boost Power Limit:
Additional Turbo Voltage:
Core Current Limit:
Host Clock Override (BCLK):
Spread Spectrum:

Voltage Control------
Power Saving Mode:
CPU Core Voltage:
CPU Load-Line Calibration:
DRAM Voltage:
PCH Voltage:
CPU PLL Voltage:
VTT Voltage:
VCCSA Voltage:

Then there are CPU Fan settings and some other stuff. Thanks for your help! If there is any additional settings that will increase my performance on a ASRock E3 G3 Motherboard let me know 😀

Use the BIOS or AXTU to OC if you are a newbie. You can go into the settings on the AXTU and set a 4.0 OC , but you may have to reboot after you reset.

BTW the AXTU settings are factory tested by ASRock.

I'm confused. What do you mean? Can you just help me with the settings?

Ok. I have the same mobo and CPU as you, and this is a 4.5ghz setting 100% stable.
Of course, if you so desire 4.0ghz, you should be able to leave everything at Default, and just change the CPU multiplier

CPU Multiplier x45
BCLK: 100mhz
Short and Long duration: 230/200.
core current limit 200
Vcore: OFFSET mode +0.020Volts
Load line calibration: LEVEL 4
Spread spectrum disabled
SpeedStep: on

Everything else leave auto.

max temps i get is 58C...H80 cooler. With a 212 expect like mid 60s

Everyone has a different 2500k, so test the voltage first. You might need higher or lower, but this is what worked successfully for me.
