Hello. After years of consistent service, I chose to attempt an overclock on my old i5-2500K. I aimed for improved performance in demanding CPU games. Although this was my first overclocking, I had reviewed many articles and forums, feeling confident. However, I faced some unusual issues with the v-core voltage. Initially, I managed to reach 4.1GHZ at a stock voltage of 1,260. When I increased it to 1,270 and then 4,2GHZ, I encountered a BSOD during the Prime95 test and a crash when loading a P3D game. After checking my BIOS, it displayed 1,270, but CPU-Z showed consistently 1,260, sometimes dropping to 1,248. I attempted various higher values in BIOS, but they didn’t appear there. I wanted to adjust them further, as my motherboard supports it when auto-voltage is enabled, reaching 1,336.

This is my MoBo

Anyone have any advice? How can I ensure the BIOS voltage is properly applied? In short, BIOS voltage settings don’t affect Windows configurations. Anything above the stock 1,260 is not recognized by the system. On AUTO mode it exceeds 1,336v.

C1E-DISABLED
EIST-DISABLED
C3, C6 States-DISABLED
CPU Thermal Monitor-DISABLED
Turboboost - DISABLED
Internal PLL CPU overvoltage - DISABLED

The issue involves adjusting the BIOS settings to manage voltage fluctuations when the CPU operates at higher loads. The problem occurs across different voltages like 1,260V or 1,272V, but the solution lies in modifying the appropriate BIOS configuration. In GTA V, it seems the setting is set to 1,248V only.
