New i3/i5/i7 overclocking guide @ overclockers.com

[miahallen]

Hey guys...I just finished a new overclocking guide for all those users looking for help overclocking thier Core i3/i5/i7 based systems. Check it out :)

[Boogerlad]

very nice! Helped me find stable baseclock for my i5. Thanks!

[miahallen]

Glad it helped :up:

[miahallen]

After a month of solid feedback, my guide has undergone an extensive update. :up:
Feel free to check it out!

miahallen,thanks this is a great guide.
do you mind if i put a link to your guide in the
~Intel Core i3/i5 32nm Dual Core Overclocking Thread~ ?

[WhiteFireDragon]

read through everything, and that's an excellent guide! probably a few other tips and tricks you should mention, is that clakbars on h55/h57 does not like memory multiplier of 6 for some reason, even though it's less stressful for the IMC. i could only use 8 multiplier because 10 is too high and stressful, and 6 seems buggy.

and just for my own question, any general differences when clocking a 32nm clarbar in a p55 vs h55 mobo? or what about 45nm lynnfield in p55 vs h55?

That's an excellent guide with all the necessary basics, good job! :up:

I concur... great job Mia!

@WhiteFireDragon... I have an i5 750 in the Biostar TH55XE and I don't find it as easy to push up to and beyond 4.0GHz (20x200) as my other two p55 boards. It also isn't close in price point either but I've seen the 32nm pushed pretty far here on some of these h55 boards so I don't know if it is just my individual sample or the the available BIOS. :shrug: However, the board does function nicely with the chip at more moderate overclocks.

I'll be using this with my 750, thanks!

Nice additions to your guide miah. :D

That would be great....thanks :toast:

I think the problems you have found are most likely board/BIOS related, and should not be gerenalized for the platform. However, I'm still relatively fresh with the iGPU on Clarkbar ;)

That's an excellent guide with all the necessary basics, good job! :up:
Thanks Z:cool:

[Envy]

awesome guide very helpful thank you very much Miahallen :clap: there's a problem I am having for some reason while running the Prime95 Linx the CPU multiplier drops from 21 to 20 any idea? all power saving features are disable. *edit: "disable" CPU turbo power limit on Rii Gene BIOS fix.

good guide

but i found on myself that when upping multi with fix bclk may require more Vtt

[tranngocminh]

Nice guide, tks :up:

[miahallen]

Very nice OC...glad I could help :up:

good guide

hmmm...anyone else have any opinions on this. It doesn´t make any sense to me that this would be true, and I have not found that in my own testing :shrug:

Nice guide, tks :up:
You're welcome :cool:

it's not the case with me.i can go from x17 to x21 at 235
bclk and keep the same vtt of 1.31v.to me it doesnt make
sense either because it should be that once you find your
optimal vtt for a given bclk,that should be it.unless maybe
you increase memory speed or lower your cas latency

[Exeodus]

I am glad I found this. I thought the board was the reason I was having issues running my OCZ at 1600 cas 7 with a i3-530. Now I know it may be the IMC, which does seem pretty weak in my opinion.

Thanks for the info.

[CaptMorgan]

Lower multi is better correct?

[miahallen]

Lower multi is better correct?

That statement is too simplistic to be answered definitively. Can you give us a more specific example?

[BababooeyHTJ]

Thank you, I plan on upgrading to an i7 860 soon and am very glad that I found this.

[spinejam]

Great job on this guide! thanks! :)
