    Ivy Bridge Overclocking Guide (Extreme LN2 Section Guide Included)

    in Ivy Bridge (Z77) OC

    hey mate

     

    nothing abnormal there!

     

    i cover this in my video. A lot of CPUs have two different CBBs, actually there is a third one which we address with benching bios so as long as you are on benching bios there are two you have to be aware of. Each CPU is different but majority seem to respond the same

     

    1) initial CBB -75C to -85C on most chips, this is due to bclock and possibly other things so that is the reason i start my settings at -75 or so and go from there

     

    2) CBB after benching crash at full pot > usually dead on around -150C. Most chips need to be warmed up to -150 and started. my main benching chip doesn't like to be warmed up to -140 for example or if i start the setup at -155 it will then go into second CBB (-80C, painful) so as long as i repeat the process and start it at -150 it will fire up every time.

     

    i also disable iGPU as i noticed it can cause the initial CBB after crash

     

    one other thing to be mindful of is if you bench and crash, hit reset right away and sometimes it iwll boot cycle back into windows with full pot without shutting down (extreme bios behaves a bit better here, as it does with bios changes at low temps)

     

    3h or 5h?
