ok, cool wrinvert, thanks,
I tested the PSU with the volt meter seems ok, I'm getting 12.3, 5.2, 3.29, so I'm going to reuse it on my new rig, on my old system it gives out low voltage like 2.8, 4.8, 11.8 for some reason and the system doesn't boot at all, but like the guy on best buy told me last year I think the CPU and mobo are done so, OK, I will let you know as soon I'm getting the RAM, Probably by the end of the month, I will PM. Thanks
Best regards Dominick

Can anyone help me with Over Clocking my i7 2600k? (P67 FTW)
I can not get the CPU multiplier to change. I tried with the stock bios (1.3 or whatever it shipped with). I upgraded the bios to 118 and tried again and still when I go to the Over Clocking tab and select the multiplier (default on 34) and I hit ENTER, nothing happens. It does not bring up anything to allow me to change the number. Did I some how get one of those recalled boards or am I missing something?

Dont hit enter, just make sure it's highlighted and then hit the "+" or "-" key on your num pad.

thanks i'll try it. they need to remove the press enter to select an item or w/e it says LOL

I was confused at first too when I started using the bios on my P67 FTW. As stated, you can hit the "+" or "-" or type the number from you keypad. I usually hit enter after I've entered the value in the desired field, but I don't know if you have to or not.

yea i got it to work, thanks. Just the +- works. I just read it as 'press ENTER to select an item'. I guess Enter only applies to items that have another menu w/in them. Thanks for the help :)

Jacob, can you tell me what idle temps you are seeing? I've reseated my cooler twice using Arctic Silver 5 using the one line application method AS suggests.
My specs:
p67 FTW / EVGA Super Cooler / i7 2600k / CoolerMaster HAF-X
I'm not entirely sure if my 38 degree idle is normal since many EVGA Super Cooler reviews are showing much lower idle temps (albeit with the i7-920; haven't seen a review with the 2600k). My ambient is around 24 degrees.
I'm currently clocking in at 4.5Ghz with 1.29 VCore and hitting about 75 degrees (my limit) at full load (Prime95 In-place Large FFTs)
I know I should probably be asking in the EVGA Cooler section, but I saw that you have an identical setup and wanted to compare temps with you here. Thanks!

Your temps are absolut normal - it depends always a little bit on the cpu quality...
may be you can optimize it a little bit with thermal compound - but you've to remember, Prime is the maximum of load and not the normal load.

How do you overclock the turbo on the p67 FTW? On my ud7 and asus boards there options for overclocking the turbo so you don't have to turn of eist and c1e. so that way the clock would idle at 1600mhz and go up to 5ghz when needed.. (along with the necessary voltage so it would go up only if needed) here is my overclock on the p67 ftw:  It that safe for 24/7? i have a custom loop and i max out at about 63C with LinX updated linpacks and sp1

Jacob I fallow the guide, and I OC mine for now to 4GHz, , I don't understand 2 things since my first time messing with this:
1) do I have to necessary set up my Vcore to 1.3V, or I got mine on 1.25V and it's not freezing or doing BSOS, that mean is good? or I will damage the CPU buy setting Vcore on manual 1.25V?
2) EVGA OC scanner - CPU burner is any good for test CPU stability? or I have to buy prime 95?

1. Low is better. You want the lowest vcore possible in which you do not crash. 2. Prime95 is free: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ Download the zip files Windows 7/Vista/XP/2008 64-bit: Download p64v266.zip (3.8MB), version 26.6, last updated April 8, 2011.

thanks blizzie, so I can go lower even to 1.2V Vcore @ 4GHz and strees test for 1 hr and see if crashes? if don't freez mean it's good? so the OC game is about getting higher GHz on lower Vcore possible? and why Vcore float between 1.258~1.242V if I set it to 1.25? is this normal?  I don't wanna mess it up this CPU cost me 314$, lol so I wanna make sure I'm doing right!! about prime 95 thank for the link, I din't know it was free, thanks

If you have it set to without vdroop then it's a normal fluctuation. If I were you beecause you are only at 4.0Ghz overclock, just set the vcore to auto and let bios handle it. Then run your stress tests and see if it passes.
And yes, the lower the vcore with the higher Mhz CPU speed is the name of the game.

You want to run Prime95 for at least 6-12 hours before it is stable. 1.2vcore @ 4 GHz is good.  You want higher CPU speeds for lowest vcore. Be careful and don't go overboard. Enable the setting in BIOS for vdroop compensation. Your vcore variation looks fine. It will vary between idle and load.

OK, GOTCHA, yep it's set to without Vdrop like Jacob said on the guide, the Vcore I set it because he said to set it a 1.3V so I wasn't to sure if was ok to leave it AUTO, temps still good only rich 59C MAX @ 78F room temp 91% work load trought OC-Scanner - CPU burner so so far I'm still good I hope, the improvement I saw is from 7.6 stock clock to 7.7 @ 4GHz window experience index, but strange thing on 3D Mark 11 basic edition from 8616 (stock clock) to 8481(OC)??? why I lost performance from 3.4Ghz to 4Ghz? shoul be faster right??? Wath a hell!!!   never mind, I rerun the benchmark test, my mistake I forgot to quit E-LEET, now I got improvement, damn now I am from 8616 (stock clock) to 8752 (OC), damn!!!!!

what you mean by don't go overboard? I thinking about backing up from OCing, to complicate for me, I will mess something up for sure!!!! and I still don't even know how to set up a fx card, lol that explain how dummy I am, I set up 2 EVGA GTX470 in 2WAY SLI and it's ok, all 2 of them works, I put in there my old NVIDIA 8500GT as fx card and nothing, she just IDLE in there even if I set up from NVIDIA control panel to dedicate that card as fx, I see wile gaming on my G15 LCD the GPU1 & GPU2 are getting workload (the 2 GTX470 in SLI) the GPU3 (8500gt) 0% workload, I don't man, that drive me crazy, I was looking for a guide on the forum to see how to set everything correctly but 0 treads on that topic.

I never was able to do it on my old ASUS P-5ND mobo on my old INTEL Q9550, now I'm rocking with this,
I got a solid stable 26% OC
i7 2600K @ 4.3GHz at Vcore=1.2V temp 63C MAX@78F room temp after all most 15 hr straight prime95
LOVE IT LOVE IT, thanks Jacob, nice guide!!!! :)
and for those who said Vcore float problem, I don't see it, my Vcore is stable @ 1.211V (reading it trough E-LEET) it only drops to 1.186V when it IDLE but I have all power saving features ON, so my CPU downclock to 1.5GHz so it may be normal.

hope this isnt too noobish of a question but if i try to push my 2600k past 4.6 i get a machine check error and a restart before windows is supposed to load. my vcore and all other settings are on auto and my temps are fine at 4.6
is this the max for my chip or am i doing something wrong?

I'm not a OC expert, but I think is because the AUTO setting, try to go on manually set your Vcore starting with like 1.35V since you going above 4.6GHz and see what happen, if still restart then go @1.4V and set to without V drop. I don't like to keep AUTO because he shut my Vcore @ 1.38 @ 4GHz, when I can run it manually set @ 1.2V.

switch to manual Vcore. start at 1.25v and work your way up by .01 and you should be able to get a lil higher. most of the 2600k's can hit at least 4.8 before hitting a wall. but that is not a guarantee as every cpu is different. and it also depends much on what voltage you need and what your temps are at full load.

there are known vdroop levels, but i don't think that's necessarily related to having it on auto. if it is stable 1.36 on auto i don't know what it wouldn't be on manual. try a lil higher than that just keep an eye on your temps.
TBH anything past 4.5 doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of difference as far as gaming goes. I'm at 4.8 b/c i fold and it gives me a bit of a boost as far as that goes. If I didn't fold I would leave it at 4.5 and be plenty happy with my max load temps.

yea, I agree with you, going above 4Ghz doesn't even make any difference on most of the game out right now, and L4D2 definitely don't need past 4Ghz. I have 1 question 4 you, what is the Folding thing????

there are known vdroop levels, but i don't think that's necessarily related to having it on auto. if it is stable 1.36 on auto i don't know what it wouldn't be on manual. try a lil higher than that just keep an eye on your temps.
TBH anything past 4.5 doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of difference as far as gaming goes. I'm at 4.8 b/c i fold and it gives me a bit of a boost as far as that goes. If I didn't fold I would leave it at 4.5 and be plenty happy with my max load temps.
yea, I agree with you, going above 4Ghz doesn't even make any difference on most of the game out right now, and L4D2 definitely don't need past 4Ghz.
I have 1 question 4 you, what is the Folding thing????
