It's usually more stable on offset mode though, it bluescreens rarely. When I tried manual voltage it bluescreened all the time.

I have a i7 2600K overclocked to 4.6GHz, and my games are getting more laggy as this chip ages. I can take it up to 4.9-5GHz, I usually use Offset Mode for voltage and left most of the other settings (e.g., load-line calibration) to their default. Right now, with a 4.6GHz overclock it usually stays between 1.3-1.4V, and at 4.9GHz before I observed upwards of 1.5V. The cooler I am using is a Hyper 212, and haven't observed the temperatures getting too high (around 70-80C). Should I be able to overclock more? Is it worth it, will it make much of a difference? The main things I'm worried about is wear on the CPU, and wear on the Power Supply.

I also heard about the way to do it by holding a wire between the 1st pin and the 8th pin on the bios chip. Could I also try that? I don't have a soldering iron so I guess I would just have to hold the wire.

I tried to flash a vbios on my graphics card, and it failed. ATIwinflash was not responding so I closed it, and then when I restarted, there was no post. I am getting the beep code for hardware component failure, I tried flashing the bios again with freedos and Rufus but it doesn't work. I boot off the integrated graphics, and even when I hotswap the graphics card back in and enter the commands with no interface it just gives an error. Even if I set It to IGD, it doesn't boot if I have the graphics card in. Any suggestions? Specs: Asus p8p67 deluxe Core i7 2600k 16gb ram 4 x 4 Sapphire hd7870 ghz edition

I don't know if I can do that, I got it used..

I have been using this Dell P2412H monitor on the lowest brightness for a while. Today it started showing a grey spot, I'm not sure why. When I turn off and then turn the monitor back on the grey spot goes away, but for a short amount of time. When I turn the monitor off for a long time (i.e., when I turn off my computer) and then wake up the next morining and turn it back on, the grey spot doesn't appear for a good amount of time (around half the day) but then it comes back. Any suggestions?

Whenever I use the OC profiles for seperate games in the AMD drivers, they eventually stop working and dont apply an overclock when I launch the game. Does anyone else experience this? Any suggestions. Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7‑2600K RAM: HyperX 16GB DDR3 1600 GPU: Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition

This is someting I noticed in games though, whenever my gpu goes to 100% usage my pc randomly shuts off. And when its at 100% usage the voltage rails are what they are in the picture, at idle the 12V rail is around 11.8 to 11.9V and all the other ones are more normal too.

I recently changed the overclocking settings in my computer and now it just shuts off randomly. Most of settings used to be on auto except BCLK and the multiplier, here are the settings I changed: Internal PLL Overvoltage: Enabled Load-Line Calibration: Extreme VRM Frequency: Manual VRM Fixed Frequency Mode: 350 Phase Control: Extreme CPU Current Capability: 130% CPU Voltage: Manual CPU Manual Voltage: 1.36 CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled BCLK: 101 Multiplier: 47 I don't think it's an overclocking problem since it is not blue screening at these voltages (I'm not getting any WHEA errors). Another thing I would like to mention is that even when I try to change back all the settings above to auto or the default setting, the auto voltage is higher than it used to be. It can now spike all the way up to 1.52V, before it wouldn't go above 1.43V.

Don't know if this will fix the problem but is there any way to turn off Load-Line Calibration on a GPU?

So, I have been trying to overclock my GPU, since it bottlenecks nearly all my games. It is a Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition and I'm using Sapphire Trixx instead of MSI Afterburner because it is the only software that allows me to change the voltage. if I overclock it a measly 5MHz I get artifacting on my main monitor (but not my second monitor) even if use the max voltage and power limit. If I ignore the artifacting I can get it up to 1150 MHz on the core. The reason why I'm curious is because I've seen people online getting way better overclocks and no artifacting, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

I lowered the BCLK to 103 and I think that fixed it.

Ok, I'm just gonna set AI overclock tuner to auto and see where that takes me.

I ran AIDA64 for like 10 minutes.

I don't think there is an option for XMP, nothing under Ai overclock tuner. There is primary, secondary, and tertiary options for ram timings though.

When I got it it was on the latest version of the bios.

But, that also counts for the boot-up behavior? It doesn't crash at these settings and I don't think I haven't seen any BSODs or WHEA errors either yet.

Also I should mention that a while ago I kept the CPU multipler at 44 and it didn't do this behavior.

I think it only happens sometimes or maybe after a long period of it being turned off or slelpt. I just turned it off and on just now and it didn't do the same behavior.

I have the most recent version of the bios.

Haven't actually tried that.

Whenever I turn on my PC, it first turns on, then off, then on again and boots into Windows. This also happens if I sleep it and then wake it up later. My system is overclocked with basically everything set to auto in the bios except BCLK and CPU multiplier. BCLK is 103.3 and the multiplier is 45. Any suggestions?

I want to try and overclock my 2600k above 4.5GHz using a Hyper 212 Evo and Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard. I bought it used from a seller that also kept it overclocked so its lifespan is already limited now and it is not an issue for me, I want to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible. Currently, it runs at 4.5GHz with a max voltage of 1.312 V and temps observed in AIDA64 are around 75-80 C at max load. I went into the BIOS and all of the different settings are kind of overwhelming so I'm just looking for a general place to start.
