I have a P55 FTW running the lastest A71 BIOS update. The I7-875k boots fine and CPUz shows the clockspeed at 2933. When I change the multiplier from 22 to 25 and reboot, the POST screen shows the multiplier at 25, the processor running at 3333. However, once windows 7 boots, CPUz shows I am back to runnng 2933. When I run a test/stress program, the processor speed never exceeds 2933. Any idea of what is wrong?

What do you have the host clock set to? Are you using turbo mode?

Enable K-Boost, Speedstep, TurboMode. Disable C-States, C1E. That should work..

I enabled k-boost, Speedstep, Turbo Mode and Disabled c-state and c1e and I can only get the k boost multiplier to work? How would I go about getting like 3.3 4 core, 3.6 3 core 3.8 2 core and 4.0 1 core turbo I cannot figure out how to even get the turbo to kick on? What the heck does the turbo override (current power do) they have no units of measurement ffs 760??? 716??? I would love help to achieve my goals if anyone has suggestions?

K-Boost gives me 27, I set it to 30, 33 .. no problem. For the Turbo like you want it, go Multi settings, open the Offset Options.. and than, set the multi 4,3,2,1 core..

That's right... not with A72.. ;) You've to disable K-Boost.. set Multi to 30 set 133 MHz for stock BLCK with vdroop Vcore 1.325 (both) VTT 1.050 rest @ stock and: enable TurboTech set Offset to 0 enable speedstep disable C1E disable C-States enable HT that gives me very nice and stable 4 GHz on 4 (8) Cores at 1.28Vc under load. 32 x 133 MHz @ 1.38Vc also working.. 33x is my problem atm

875 k is not overclockable enough for an unlocked multiplier to be any use. 4.2Gh max That's not right.. http://hidestuff.de/OCS/IntelCorei7-875K/cpuz_valid.jpg Working with Mulit 35 - stable - on a standard Intel board. I don't wanna clock over the BLCK actually.. Normally with A70 160x28 works nice.. but at the moment I'm searching the highest clock..

FYI.. http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=578&Itemid=63&limit=1&limitstart=6Passmark Performance Test PassMark Performance Test is a PC hardware benchmark utility that allows a user to quickly assess the performance of their computer and compare it to a number of standard 'baseline' computer systems. The Passmark Performance Test CPU tests all benchmark the mathematical operations, compression, encryption, SSE, and 3DNow! instructions of modern processors. In our tests there were several areas of concentration for each benchmark, which are combined into one compound score. This score is referred to as the CPU Mark, and is a composite of the following tests: Integer Math, Floating Point Math, Find Prime Numbers, SSE/3DNow!, Compression, Encryption, Image Rotation, and String Sorting. For this review, we've also decided to run the memory benchmark, which results in a composite score based on the following tests: small block allocation, cached read, uncached read, write performance, and large block allocation. The Passmark performance tests reveal different results than Everest. In the CPU mark score, the Core i5 655K almost doubles the performance gotten by the Athlon II X4 CPU. Overclocked to 4.0GHz lets it surpass the Core i5 680 (as it becomes obvious), and overclocked to 4.55GHz, the Core i5 655K positions itself above the Core i5 750 but a little bit below the Core i7 920 processor. Again, when it comes to memory bandwidth, Intel is still ahead AMD in every benchmark. The results were pretty much similar to the CPU scores against AMD, but more interesting is that the Core i5 655K overclocked scored higher memory mark results than every other processor. Even if the CPU was overclocked, remember we only raised the CPU multiplier, and that means the memory and QPI frequency are still the same as with the stock frequency results. It was weird to see the Core i5 655K passing the Core i7 920 and Core i7 860 without problems even at stock frequencies. Thanks, Mack4033

More... BX80616I5655K Conclusion The Core i5 655K performed decently against other CPUs. Thanks to features like Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading, this sample was able to outperform the Athlon II X3 in nearly all the tests when they were targeted at multi-core solutions. Of course, if the benchmark measured pure raw Gigahertz, the Core i5 655K performed even better than 4-cores processors thanks to its higher frequency. The sample we received overclocked very well on air, but lacked of interest on subzero temperatures. Of course I know 99% of the time (if not more) the CPU will be working under air-coolers, but since it was targeted for overclockers, I would have loved to see some more MHz in our extreme tests. That said the Core i5 isn't as especial as you might think. Pair a good Core i5 660 CPU on a high-end motherboard and you could easily achieve 4GHz or similar on stock voltages, and somewhere near 4.5GHz adding some voltage, which means the only benefit of this CPU is that you don't need a high-complex BIOS & motherboard to achieve good frequencies. Again, if you're into overclocking, you probably have a decent setup, and you won't be limited by the motherboard. You'll also prefer to overclock by raising the BCLK to gain that small boost because of the higher QPI/Uncore/RAM frequency, so at some point, this CPU gets useless for "hardcore" overclockers.  There's not really a lot to talk about the construction of a CPU. Intel is going forward with 32nm manufacture and this chip has very low power consumption but very decent performance. It also included Intel GMA HD graphics running at 733MHz, and the graphics unit overclocks a lot too. Since I haven't seen a CPU die in my hands at the middle of the tests or while being delivered to our labs, I think CPUs construction is just as it should be, and the same applies for AMD in almost all areas. Functionality can be a very questionable point for unlocked CPUs. If you see it from the buyers view, the extra money you end paying for this CPU may not worth it unless you're looking for an overclocked setup and you don't use heavily threaded (multi-core) applications. Intel is doing some damage themselves as the 4-cores/4-threads Core i5 760 CPU can be bought by the same price and AMD is fighting with their Phenom II X6 CPU at the same price level. So, at the end, it all depends on what kind of applications you're daily using. In conclusion, if you need more GHz, go for the Core i5 655K, if you need something between GHz and multi-cores go for the Core i5 760. Finally, if you need more cores go for the AMD Phenom II X6. That, or take the Core i5 655K just because you find very fun to overclock your CPU to the max. The Core i5 655K easily overclocks to 4GHz with the right components. It's a lot easier since you don't need a high-end motherboard and memory to reach those numbers. If you start adding voltage, you will find yourself with a stable CPU running somewhere between 4.4GHz or maybe up to 4.7GHz. Our sample did 4.55GHz and it could have been improved to 4.6GHz with the right parameters, but don't expect every CPU to perform the same way since each one is made different. Anyway, Intel's K processors are the response to AMD Black Edition CPUs which were taking the crown even at low-price levels. It's good to see some competition in the area because that helps the market to improve from both sides, and the users get the benefit of a wider range of products to choose from. Let's keep our fingers crossed to see something similar with the new Sandybridge architecture instead of fighting against locked features and overclocking in the next generations. As of August 2010, Intel's Core i5 655K retails for $209.99 at NewEgg. With this price tag, it races against the Core i5 760 and the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T. While the competition doesn't have the unlocked features, they offer more cores for the same price, so, it's up to you to decide which CPU fits your necessities depending on the things analyzed on the article. The Core i5 650 is positioned at $179, being $30 cheaper than the unlocked CPU. Remember, if you're not planning on overclock this little baby, don't go for it. There are much better options at the same price point. But if you're into overclocking, you'll easily get the performance of the Core i5 680 ($309.99) or if you overclock it enough, you might even reach the Core i5 750 and a little bit more, depending on the applications you're running. Pros: + Unlocked CPU multiplier and RAM dividers + Great Overclocker, not limited by motherboard/RAM + Efficient 32nm process + Includes Intel GMA HD 45nm graphics unit + AES instructions update made it at least 10x faster + Performance over AMD X3 processors thanks to Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading + Great performance/clock ratio + Low power consumption Cons: - Costs $30 more than the Core i5 650 - Can't compete against Core i5 760 and AMD Phenom II X6 1055T in multi-threaded applications - Overclocks the same as any other Core i5 CPU, but easier - "Hardcore" overclockers will prefer to raise BCLK/QPI/Uncore/RAM frequencies Ratings: -
Performance: 9.00 -
Construction: 9.50 -
Functionality: 8.50 -
Overclock: 9.50 -
Value: 8.50
Final Score: 9.00 out of 10. Excellence Achievement: Benchmark Reviews Golden Tachometer Award. Thanks, Mack4033

I fail to see your point; though I understand, it is a great processor. Let me point out thge flaws in your comparison: 1. They make no reference to the i7 875K in those test results; or, to the i7 870, which it shares design specifications with. 2. The i5 655K is a Dual Core processor; where the 875K, is a Quad Core processor. The i5 655K does have the added benefit; of being a 32nm processor. It also has a 45nm Integrated Graphic's processor; paired with it, under that heatspreader. That, as you likely know; is only useful on an H55 or H57 motherboard. 3. The only thing the i5 655K, overclocked or not; really did better in, in those tests, was the music benchmark. Here is a real comparison; of the processor's in question: http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i5-655k-and-core-i7-875k-processor-review/8

Thx, but I know the history of 875K and the difference between it and 655k. The 875k is just a 870 "unlocked" - of course. But in several lists, you can see, that 4,5 GHz with a good cooling setup is not that problem.. So, the only thing I mentioned, was that 4,2 GHz is not the maximum for the 875k.

I have the i7 875k and it is at 3.53Mhz. All I did was enabled the Dummy OC and set the multiplyer to 24. Do I need to adjust the voltage? Also, if i go to 25 on the multiplyer, are there voltage adjustments to be made?

Hi the EVGA community ! I already got an i7 875K on an evga P55 FTW. I was on an i5 760 on a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3. (4Ghz@1.28v stable aircooling, great mobo and cpu).
I'm running on the latest bios (A74). First of all, i didn't understand why i couldn't increase multiplier. I could change it but it doesn't take any changes on Windows. Never heard that we have to enable turboMode to make that change. It makes no sense. Not needed to enable it on the Gigabyte. Secondly, i can't change the vcore. Of course i can choose it but doesn't take effect on Windows and on the health function in bios. It always stack on 1.22v.
Strange mobo.
Any help ? Thnx !
