so heres my sob story. a couple weeks ago i got my hands on a gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 in anticipation of ivy bridge. me not doing my research beforehand ended up with a motherboard that would not let me change the multiplier on the 3570k i got. gigabyte is taking their merry time with updating to a new bios for this board so i just got another Z77 board on the way later this week.
for those of you with Ivy Bridge experience, how high do you think my IB will overclock? those who guess right gets PRIDE AND GLORY!
even though i cant change the multiplier on the mobo, i can still change the bclk, which is currently at 106 (36x multiplier), giving me 3816mhz. right now i am priming away at vcore 0.99 for almost two hours now (at the time of this post). i got a bsod when i lowered vcore to 0.97. my goal is 4.8ghz (cooling is apogee xt, xspc rx360, mcp655)
so who cares to take a guess?
