Hey guys,

This is my overclock

I just wanted to check here if I've done everything right in terms of settings. Have I missed out anything?

My computer has been playing up a bit lately and I'm just trying to go through everything I could be to check if its all good.

When I ran Prime 95 under these settings it was fine, with temps aswell ( have a noctua d14 air cooler). I ran intel burn and it crashes. Opinions on the two programs?

Cheers.
 
Try and up the volts a little, see if IBT becomes stable. IBT is the most strenuous test of all - really shows a stable system.
Also, enable XMP - it puts your RAM to rated specs.
 
Yeah, I heard IBT is the go.

What's the safe guard for volts? Do people generally not go over 1.40V right?

CPU temps to not go over 80deg is still safe? would love to have water cooling ..

Can you explain multi-step load line. As far as I'm aware it just allows for fluctuation the differences in voltages.

For XMP when I enabled it it just went to profile 1. Is that right?

Cheers

Yeah, no above 1.4v or your CPU starts to degrade.
80 degrees on Prime is the limit, but IBT can be slightly higher because it's more strenuous.
Also, really no idea about the multi-step load line, sorry :(
What's it showing your RAM running at? If it's what you bought it for, say 1600MHz, then yes, it's fine.
 
Cheers for the response.

Would would you suggest for a memory stress tester? with XMP when I enabled it the options were disabled and profile 1 so would that just be the specs that are input into my memory? as to say it would be running at its maximum factory specs 24/7 now.
 
Memtest86+ is a good memory tester.
Boot up and use CPU-Z to check your memory speeds to see if they're running at rated speeds.
 
Something I found with intel burn was that it wasnt even stable when I put my fail-safe factory settings as a defult in to stress test under intel burn.. I have been testing under maximum settings.. is that right?

maximum utilizes as much RAM as it can test. my IBT tests OE settings just fine on max and extreme (right click start button on IBT, left click extreme) the giggy UD5 cant pass a stock IBT? there is a config wrong somewhere. all of my giggys (67-ud3, ud4, ud7 and z68 ud4) pass max and extreme. what BIOS?

doesnt wanna stress test it past the second stage.. without extreme on and with extreme on it just froze.

Can you guys think of whats wrong?
 
Are you running the most recent BIOS for your motherboard? Check the Asus website to see if they have a newer one for you, and update your board with that.
Other than that, I really don't know what to suggest, as you shouldn't be having any issues whatsoever with a 'vanilla' clock.
 
From what I can tell, everything looks just fine.
The only thing that I can think to suggest is that you try re-flashing your BIOS once more. I had an issue where the BIOS file corrupted on my flash drive, causing some pretty nasty instability. After a quick format and a new download of the BIOS file, everything worked just fine.
In Windows, you haven't set your power settings to power saving, have you? I mean, at stock clocks and voltages it really shouldn't make a difference, but i'm clutching at straws here.
 
All the settings look good to me to but try increasing the vcore to 1.345 then 1.35 (so 0.05v increases) to see if that helps. I'm stable at 1.3v but the ud7 is a strong board, but I leave my vcore @ 1.345v for maximum stability!

Good luck
 
I tested at higher vcore but it didnt wanna play.. I cant figure it out. I havnt overclocked the memory either so I dont think it would be playing up. I just dont get it..
 
Maybe there a fault somewhere, restore bios
Defaults, update bios to most recent then redo overclock
