Z68x-ud3p-b3 intel core i5 2500k oc fails

[niba10]

i have tried few tutorials on what bios settings i should put my bios for oc to 4.0-4.5
and i get crashed all the time ..

my spec are :

intel core i5 2500k now on 3.30ghz
motherboard: z68x-ud3p-b3 f7 version
ram:2 stock of kingston 4gb (8gb) 1333
hdd:samsung 1TB
cooler:sytche mugen 2
power suplier:700wat

what settings i should use at the bios settings for 4.3 or 4.5 without crashings or 4.0 more higher more better 😀 (but without crash)

Intel recommends 1.52v maximum for that CPU, and that is with a great cooler. I wouldn't go past 1.43v myself even if my temps are in the 60s load. 1.39v is a bit high for that OC. I run mine @ 4.4Ghz with 1.32v maximum and some people would say that is still a little high. Use a offset voltage instead of auto. At least the CPU is stable. Running 1.39v shouldn't hurt the CPU with those temps, as they are pretty good running Prime95, but you could probably get the voltage lower, making your CPU last longer.

yay i oc to 4.4ghz at 132v like yours and it stable to 😛
should i reduce more cvoltage ?

If your can reduce your voltage, of course! A lower voltage is always better because it won't generate as much heat and will keep your CPU alive longer. 1.32v shouldn't really effect the life anyway, but that a great improvement from 1.39v! Good job! 😀 😀 😀 😀
