First Time OC, Having Trouble.
First Time OC, Having Trouble.
Ok so technically i have oced before, using easy tune 6
but i decided to set back to defaults and oc manually through bios
this is what i was told
"I would put the CBLK at 200, Multi at 20, try vcore at 1.3v, Also make sure to have LCC at high/extreme so you dont get the vdrop when you max out the CPU."
in bios i have set me BCLK to 150 which set my cpu to 3.45GHz, which is where i want it
and i set the vcore to 1.3v, however i dont know how to change my multi or the lcc?
here is a review of my motherboard, with pics of pretty much every screen in the bios

a couple other questions i have
when i open control panel, system it says Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz 3.45 GHz
when i open cpu-z it says Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
in bios it says 3.45GHz
Non-Turbo Frequenc 3450.3
Turbo Frequenc 3600.3
why does it show my cpu at 3.07ghz n cpuz?
GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3 LGA 1366
GIGABYTE 1gb 460 GTX SLI
i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz oced @ 3.45GHz
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB 240-Pin DDR3 1333
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200 RPM
SILVERSTONE ST75F-P 750W
SILVERSTONE TJ09
howdy!
if you examine the lower left corner of cpu-z, you'll notice the clock speed is listed as 3600.0Mhz, which matches what your turbo setting shows. this is the factory specification.
since i've never overclocked a bloomfield, i can't give you specific advice on that. however, a 20% overclock wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
my cpu is indeed running at 3.45ghz, that's correct. The 3.07 refers to the processor model name. Everything is fine.
Switch to open settings, then proceed to finish; editing it will really assist

Open settings leads to finish, then click edit—it really makes a difference.

I truly wish the original poster isn’t interfering anymore.
