The Gigabyte Z87/Haswell Overclocking(OC) Guide

X07 bios version for Gigabyte Z87X-OC actually good for memory OC. But it have strange bug. I uses GeIL Evo Veloce memory kit (MFR, single sided, 2x4). It's freq is 2400 with CL11. So, if I doesn't use XMP Profile or Team Australia Extreme Overclocking profiles - it can't run on stock with manual timings. When I load memory profiles and after tuning timings manually - everything goes cool.

 

And one thing that I want - it is displaying current timings (also & sub) in BIOS. Because when all timing in auto, it's displays not correct timings, it dislplays spd timings.

 

PS: my review Gigabyte Z87X-OC in Russian here. I really like that mobo.

I've been using my 4670K with a triple channel kit, GSkill PI 1600MHz 3x2GB CL7 PSC @ 2200MHz 8-10-8-24-74-1T 1.85v, I want to add more 2GB to the system to get a total of 8GB but do not want to lose the ability my triple channel kit have to oc.

 

I found a second hand triple channel kit like mine, GSkill PI 1600MHz 3x2GB CL7 but with different chips... 0660 = Elpida non-Hyper, my kit is 1040 = PSC.

 

The idea was to buy another triple channel kit and use 2GB from this kit along with my 3x2GB PSC kit... I'll I get the same overclock that I get now?... or will I need a 2GB module with the same chips?

Hy boys...I have a strange problems with my Z87X-OC mboard...

When i bench on LN2 I set PWM PHASE to EXTREME PERF but there is something strange. If i set vcore to 1.385V for example, CPU-Z shows me 1.385V and it's ok, but if i misure with a tester the real frequency it's 1.340V in full load...

 

It's correct or not ? it vdrops....

 

Thanks

Andrea

Leave all advanced Power settings on Auto ;)

1.73V Bios/Cpu-Z is 1.78V real ;)

Why change Power settings on Giga :D No need!

 

In my case there isn't so MOOSE...I check with tester and the real frequency is lower than bios frequency, also in full load...I try with power option all in AUTO...It's mboard issue ?

Both your settings and volts are accurate. Thats the haswell architecture basically and it also gets affected by temperature. Getting cpu colder will raise vcore!

 

On LN2 i saw that cpu vcore it's near whose I set in bios...but never higher...It's normal ?

I listened that on ASUS the vcore is always higher than whose you set in bios...

We follow intel design closely. Boards treat cpus well. I don't hear of that many cpu deaths on Gigabyte. The cpus are clocking great on oc boards, basically enjoy it man!

 

i can agree here

 

i have lost a cpu on each brand, except gigabyte. and i bench gigabyte the most
