Re: [OC] safest OC for a 2500k, on a Asrock p67 extreme4 gen 3? it has to do with VDroop
Try setting Load Line calibration to regular. If that dosent help set it up to the next level (high i think it is)
You gotta play with it and find the setting thats right for you.
I have my LLC set to regular with a +0.60 offset and im pretty solid at 4.5 Ghz
Also, common practice is to get your machine running stable at stock. Then OC, then install extra cards such as wireless card. but none the less, you are where your at now so I would just continue on playing with the settings (LLC and Offset V)
Aside from the Clunk web site I recommended which is great for the basic and first OC I know there isnt much info there for offset .
Here are a few sites with lots of info for you.

And again Matt is correct you have plenty of room to bump up the VCore if need be

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I've got it set to auto right now, not seeing any errors or anything so far, tops out at 1.288V when prime95, 1.32V on minecraft. I can deal with 1.32V, not too bad i've seen some needed 1.34 or more for 4.5Ghz so mines not too bad. I'll play sround wit hthe vdroop and voltage settings. and if the spikes are just from coming off a load and the vrm not adjusting instantly thats fine, beats having it at 1.32V all the time.
my mobo uses different terms for vdroop and llc and so i'll read the manual and see if it says whats what in there. |

I would not take off LLC, as they is implemented by intel to control the voltage spikes, would you rather set the MAX voltage that the cpu will see... or the min and have no idea what it is spiking too?
vdroop, is good, VRMs can never adjust instantly, they can not predict the cpu work load. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | I would rather see what it can max to then see that its min can be and not know what its max is/can be.
And I think I finally found a stable setting. Yeah i only ran it for about 44 min, but everything else I have tried failed in under half that time. and according to cpu-z its max voltage never goes above 1.32V I think thats acceptable |

Lagrangeville, NY | When testing, I would use IBT, what took 20min in p95 to fail likely would have failed in the first pass of IBT...
I would do a p95 run overnight at least, when you are happy with the speed you have as a final test (I would also run IBT) |

1 edit | IBT meaning intel burn test I assume? and I will but not until next weekend, college starts backup tomorrow.
EDIT: also im gonna game some this week so if it fails during that i'll know that it needs tweaking that way too. |
