Overclocking Cache, Memory, etc?

Leave turbo Enabled. Dont even think about disabling if your overclocking.

 

Leave EIST Enabled

 

There is a reason the option is grey out in the enabled position...your overclocking

 

SA Voltage, VCCIO _ Leave these set for auto

That literally runs counter to the advise given by Gigabyte. I still haven't seen a reason why disabling turbo would harm anything.

it doesnt harm anything...you just cant overclock if turbo is disabled. you are limited to stock base speed regardless of what you set the multiplier to.

 

 

gigabytes z87 z97 bios \ uefi was a total fail btw

No, that is not accurate. Not if you use the bios. I have Turbo disabled and run at 4.6GHz. All turbo does if it is left at the stock multiplier is raise the single core performance. Once you overclock past the turbo multiplier your single core speed is set by your overclock. You can raise the turbo multiplier past your overclock but then you must test each core at that clock separately.

please post a screenie of xtu like i did above

 

include cpuz ( right click cpu tab to display individual core frequency)

 

run a load test

The issue is the use of Intel's XTU, it does not play well with Gigabyte Bios. I won't comment on other brands as I don't know them. I have currently lost two Bios profiles to XTU.

 

turbo won't hurt anything as long as it's at the same clock speed as your overclock. I wouldn't go higher as that is a pain to test stability on.

As my quote says, your problem is XTU. Are you using a Z motherboard?

Has nothing to do with XTU...Trust me I know the software very well

 

My screenshot above should answer all your questions. look at the cpuz motherboard tab

 

if you post a screenie identical to mine it will answer my questions

 

i only use Z

As you can see I am clocked with a multiplier of 4.6, turbo is disabled, as per Gigabyte's recommendation.

i can see 4.6

 

the only way i can verify you hit 4.6ghz with turbo disabled is a screenie of xtu. cpuz only tells half the story

 

please replicate my screenie 100%

[App4that]

You'll notice that XTU thinks that Turbo is enabled, that's because XTU doesn't play well with the Gigabyte Bios. I have said this many times, I have also said not to use XTU to overclock as it causes problems, and that I have lost 2 bios profiles to errors caused by XTU. First was trying to turn on adaptive voltage, second was trying to go to static (how I figured out it was XTU). In my Bios Turbo is disabled, do you want a photo from my cell phone of my bios?

Forgot to quote you sorry

Forgot to quote you sorry

 

 

well not sure what to say. I would have to say turbo is enabled

 

look on the top right "maximum CPU turbo boost speed" 4.6GHz......... Turbo boost speed. if turbo was disabled it would tell you in the top right under default \proposed. it would say turbo is disabled

 

for some reason turbo has been named to Core LccMAX...not sure why. maybe your bios is completely different than the z87x ud5h. in your screenie core LccMax is enabled

 

also if turbo was disabled the turbo power max options would be greyed out. compare to my screenie for verification

Almost lost profile 3 just taking that pic. Got a critical error because turbo is off yet XTU thinks it's on. Trust me, turbo is off

Thanks for the help guys!
