(42 is safe for almost any K series chip). From there, set your multiplier to the desired number. To get to the multiplier, enter the BIOS, select Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) and then "Advanced frequency settings". CPU Voltage calibrator (or something like that, it's above the turbo options in that BIOS menu)īefore proceeding, make sure you have the latest Chimera installed (1.4.0 or later, found in the downloads section under Chimera), as overclocking via the base multiplier will not work on older versions Load Line Calibration (Under the voltage settings in MIT)Ģ. The other settings that you want set to ENABLED are:ġ. Intel has made it stupidly easy, especially on the K series chips. I would advise NOT doing any overclocking on the stock cooler.Īs far as overclocking Sandy Bridge CPUs, there are only two numbers you have to worry about. Be prepared to crack open your tower and clear the CMOS if it does not boot. Overclocking is an art which takes patience and time. So while I can sit here and preach what works for me and what can theoretically work, it is up to you guys to tweak and see exactly what settings work for you. Well, the problem with making an overclocking guide for 1155 CPUs is that all boards are different in how they react with different voltages, and all chips have different limits. Seems to be working, so far.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide That said, I use relatively low voltage for OC'ing in a effort to show you guys what's really going on. The power the board provides is going to affect temps too, but I notice only slight difference between boards, a multi or two, between 4.3 Ghz-5.0 Ghz. It really does seem that the board you use really does affect clocks on the high-end, but on aircooling, it's temps that will set the limit. My other CPU requires more volts, kinda like yours, but still is slightly better, reaching 5.75Ghz as an absolute max. Although it seemingly requires very little volts, it also doesn't go very much past 5Ghz, with 5.35ghz being the absolute max, and that 5.35ghz is far from stable on air cooling. It'll do 4.7ghz stock volts, on the right board. I've had the CPU I'm using for testing in 8 different boards now. However, at the same time, there are only 2 CPUs in Intel's line-up that have HT, so I guess that's kinda expected. Voltage scaling on these cpus is quite the thing so varied.
Yeah, maybe I did get a bit lucky with my CPUs, but at the same time, I did buy 13, and keep the two i liked best.
