i5 2500k overclocking BSoD?

[lewwatt]

First time overclock and I'm perplexed with this, google isn't much help either, any of you lot got an idea?

I've been getting a blue screen of death with the message "a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary CPU within the allocated time interval..."

I don't see what I'm doing wrong but from what I've read I've just got a core holding back the rest or I have a defective chip, all answers were vague and unsatisfactory. My BIOS settings and hardware are as follows;

Vcore - 1.33v

Multiplier - 46x

Base Clock - 100MHz

PLL Overvoltage - Disabled

Speedstep - Disabled

Memory is at 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.552v (upped it to see if it would stabilise).

i5 2500k w/ Noctua NH-D14

Asrock Extreme3 Gen3

8GB (2x4) Corsair Vengeance Black

Crucial M4 and Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB

Corsair AX750

I've tried lower multipliers and higher voltage, even at 4.3GHz I get this error. Temperatures are not an issue and neither is power. Any help would be greatly appreciated, if you need more details just ask.

Try going back to stock and testing. If it works then we know the chip is OKAY.

I would then clock her up little by little.

happens to me sometimes if you dont have enough vcore to suit the Overclock.

yup might of lost the silicone lottery and need more vcore to get 4.6 I'd suggest leaving vcore alone and lowering multi and see where ya land this will tell ya if its vcore

Agreed. Play it safe with the voltages and just play with the clock until it boots and runs stable.

1.33v isnt much for x46 mate, try 1.37v for that or x45 on this voltage.

Im sitting at 1.34v on 4.6ghz atm so it is do-able, but Sounds like his silicone lottery didnt do too good.

I had same similar problem with my overclock recently my problem was down to a large Vdroop (CPU-Z reported upto 0.1v Vdroop over the Bios settings) I solved this buy turning up my LLC (loadline calabration) to give more constant voltage. my advise put it upto level 3 to start with and go from there, for a 4.6GHz overclock your probably looking for around 1.35v + - a few here and there till stable.

its depending on your motherboard on how many levels of LLC you have for my G1.Sniper 2 Z68. I have 10 levels and was advised to not exceed level 7. (i'm currently running my i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz with 1.308v "1.325v set in bios" at level 5 LLC)

(noob here so please wait for a pro to read my comment and agree before taking action)

My board does 4.6 at 1.357v. Have you tried updating BIOS? Have you tested your memory sticks?
