I have two motherboards, GA-P55A-UD3R and GA-H55M-UD2H The problem is that when I install a Clackdale i5 6xx or i3 5xx processor, the motherboard does not boot correctly, causing reboots with code 0 With the Lynnfield i5 7xx 65nm processors, it works perfectly The motherboards use the latest version of bios, I don't see the point Can someone shed some light on the causes for this? Thx!

I just discovered a strange issue when raising FSB using SetFSB in Win XP, when I add more than 5MHz of FSB the multiplier starts to drop. This only seems to appear in XP, I used the same version of SetFSB in Win 7 x64 and it worked just fine (both CPU-Z 1.85)... Setup used was a ASUS P5E64-WS EVO and a Pentium E5800 but I also had the same issue on a EP45-UD3R but with 10MHz above boot-FSB... EDIT: Seems like a CPU-Z bug, CPU-Z 1.63 displays the right multi, but I can't use that to validate for obvious reasons EDIT2: The CPU itself isn't lowering clocks at all, spi runs are nearly the same within the 1MHz where the bug accurs... Anyone ever had …

I remember that there was a way to unlock bclk overclocking in 2nd and 3rd intel gen. Mobile (socket G2) and desktop (1155) also. As far as I remember it has to do with an easy mod. Just find the proper signal, and then connect it to high or low state. Some gamming notebooks has BCLK overclocking enable by default. What application allows to change bclk? Is this BCLK app able to run from Win XP? Maybe I'm wrong with this 1155 (I've got a DELL Q77 motherboard and it'd be nice to OC it), but definitely socket G2 is overclockable by BCLK. So what can you say overclockers?

I am re-organizing and re-locating my old hardware stuff at the moment , and i came up with this device that i cant remember which exact board used it ? I am almost certain it's from X58 era. All comments welcome ? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvKRuIZpy45rglb0mCpk7KBUmKw7?e=B7UZyu

Hey all, first post here... I have some Core 2 Duos laying around that I hope to attempt OCing them at some point. E7500, E7600, and E8600. What would be some decent OCing boards I can get without breaking the bank on let's say, Ebay? Thanks for the insight. :)

Hello! I've been really interested lately in the Xeon Phi family of Intel products, and decided to buy myself more than a few cards, and I've been having a bunch of fun with them! I feel like sharing these out to people who would be interested in helping develop what they need to keep them interesting to bench, whether that be an offloader so that we can run more than gpupi on them (Maybe pass over the GPUPI domination to all the other categories :O!), or a way to mod the bios on these cards to provide higher clocks to push the records even higher. If you are at all interested in getting a phi, or own a phi, come join the conversation over at https://discord.gg/SVVSWUv…

What settings are desirable to increase CPU scores in 3DMark Time Spy, etc.? What about a 12900K CPU? Is it better to OC only the P-core without functioning the E-core? Is it better to leave hyperthreading applied? I am wondering because currently it is inferior to 12700K in CPU score!

I have been running the 3D Mark Fire strike benchmark this afternoon, I normally run a 5.2ghz overclock (chilled water) on this bench but thought I would have a play with 5.3ghz. My normal score for physics on 5.2ghz 1.38v would be around 36100 ish however when I bumped it up too 5.3ghz 1.48v there was pretty much no change in the score. I checked my thermals in Aida64 to make sure I wasn’t throttling and Double checked the clock was applied and all seems to be in order. The only thing I did notice was that my CPU Usage was around 76% throughout the bench mark. Can anybody confirm if this is typical behaviour of the benchmark with the 10980xe? If not does anyone have any …

I would love to overclock the new i9 10900k since it's basically meant for it, but really don't know the way to go about it... is overclocking as simple as watching a few youtube tutorials or is it much more complex with intricate tweaks? if I don't know what I'm doing, should I just avoid overclocking completely? Thanks all.

I have a i7 9700k that is currently running 5 Ghz. I have a Patriot Viper Steel 4133 kit (32 GB) that I havent overclocked at all. Its still running at stock speed. When I use the XMP profile, it just messes up the boot and my computer goes into an endless cycle of starting and restarting. I was wondering, for Intel CPUs, is the CPU clock more important than RAM overcl VidMate ock (in terms of performance)? Mobdro If not, how does one decide what timings and speed combos to use?

It seems like i managed to accidentally unlock the RAM and NB dividers on a Xeon E5504, so far i only managed to reproduce this with a very specific OS and once you completetly shut down the system it's locked again (hotswapping ssds is possible though to get extra mem speed on diffrent OS)... Here's some 32m runs with 2:10, 2:8 and 2:6 to prove that it is not only display bug of CPU-Z Will upload video of how i did it later, maybe even immage of the speciffic OS i used, if i can't find what exactly causes it... How I did it: 1: take windows 7 (so far only one of my copys worked) 2: reset during boot, so you get the option to boot in safe m…

Hello! I've a couple of socket A (socket 462) Athlons, Durons here. As we all know it is easily possible to unlock the multiplier. But is it allowed for hwbot benchmarks? I've some Athlon Thunderbirds which are "factory unlocked" (no lasercut on L1 bridges). https://100001.link/ https://192168101.dev/ https://1921681254.link/ Is it allowed to use non-standard multipliers on "factory unlocked" CPUs? Is it allowed to use non-standard multipliers on "factory locked" CPUs?

I know someone mentioned having problems with this board (R3E) so here are the .FZ files I have Hope they can help RAMPAGE_III_EXTREME_1.04GA.fz RAMPAGE_III_EXTREME_1.04GC.fz

I was going through some old stuff, and found what I believe are a pair of old OC Panels for ASUS Rampage III Extreme. Are these still useful for anyone benchmarking old CPUs? I don't think I ever became friends with the X58 platform and didn't use them even once myself. In case someone knows something about them, what boards do they work with other than the R3E? Maybe R3BE? If it's unclear, it's the one on the left here I'm talking about.

Gene VS apex VS extreme (z399) overclocking on water. Need advice Thanks in advance

I have recently (over the past year) been binning boards and CPUs (as well as having others check their CPUs/boards) for maximum BCLK. With Setfsb, most decent Boards are comparable/not gonna be a limiting factor below 300 MHz BCLK, but bootable I ran into some issues on some of my otherwise best boards. Note that >118 PCIe only becomes necessery after ~261 MHz BCLK, so this will be irrelevant for most people. x58a-oc: max bootable 135-136, max in Setfsb ~138 (3 boards tested, comparable results) Rampage II Extreme: max bootable 118-120, max in setfsb ~138 (2 boards tested) Rampage III Extreme: max bootable 118/134, max in setfsb around 135/unknown (2 b…

Hello, does this board need a mod to support xeons like some evga boards do? i have one that is not booting with westmere xeons of any kind (X,E,W), latest bios i was able to find within a quick search is a spectre / meltdown microcode modded p10 based. Some google searching tells me that the board is able to run xeons, but are there some different revs? the board is not labled with a rev. Someone has got a link to a official bios? all links i found are dead, offical site is down. Thanks.

I am looking to see if people are willing to share their binning data on a few cpu's, the i7 920, e2180, e2200, and any other cpu/gpu binning data people are willing to share.

5.3GHZ is impossible in my environmentCPU voltage up to 5.2GHZ is possible with 1.45V level, but beyond thatIt becomes impossible even if the voltage is increased to 1.6V.This is the same for both 8700K and 9900KIs my setting bad or is it basically lacking power capacity?Configuration is M / B XI GENE VGA RTX1060 PSU 850WLLC canceled level 8 C stateCPU temperature stays below 90 degrees in Core TempPlease advice

Hi OCers! I need a bit of tips, not for benchmarks but in fact for maximum stability in a long period of time running under stress. What I have : i9-7960x, Sage WS 10G, 128GB RAM G.Skill Trident Z CL16, and 4 RTX 2080 TI. This config is stable, but system was hanging at 1.9 CPU input voltage - I've changed to 1.95. Haven't really move VCCIO 1.1 & VCCSA beyond 1.15 - low because this MB has PLX chips. I'm curious should I increase VCCIO and VCCSA or if it's stable should I leave it alone. I know that RAM is getting into the picture and 128 is a lot for this platform - without controllers and ECC. If You had any suggestions please share…

Hi, I have about 20 Bloomfield chips to bin through and have tried one on LN2 but the results were not promising: Windows boot only around -65 or warmer, best stability around -80 and complete CB around -105. Is this typical? Gulftown is easier, there are many more resources online about CB/CBB behaviour and my 980X chip followed those descriptions pretty well. Bloomfield on the other hand has much less stuff online. Is there a CB killer minor voltage or is binning for a chip with the coldest CB most important? I tried on the UD9 but also own a RIIIF and RIIIE.

I am really not sure what I'm missing here, basically I can get up to 600FSB and use any ram setting I want with full stability, anything after that an I need to turn ram speeds right down to have the slightest bit of stability. Now I am probably forgetting something basic here but I've seen guys with 700FSB screenshots and over 2K ram clocks. Just a pointer really at what setting I could possibly be missing or forgetting would be really appreciated.

Hey guys I will try to repair a Aopen i975xa-ydg but i've a issue on the cpu probe (locked at 125° / 1F). Impossible to boot windows or installation (i've tested with other mb for it), i've testing others bios (1.03G/1.10) and the Tcore mod but it's the same... If you've a solution... (i've research old threads on XS but can find anything for that, just explain the issue). it's so old, my memories is bad Thank Bob
