overclock9 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Disable power saving features. Than enable the OC features. Also try to update your bios, you have a P8P67 Pro right as it says in your sig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 hi my 2500k seems to drop the multi back to 16 what do i need to disable in the bios to stop this? my version is stepping 7 revision D2 are these known to overclock ok too? cheers This is normal when you drop into an idle state. With the second generation Core series processors you get the best of both worlds, energy saving at idle and high performance under load. Check your CPU speed using CPU when the CPU is under load. I use Cinebench to show this in my reviews Disable power saving features. Than enable the OC features. Also try to update your bios, you have a P8P67 Pro right as it says in your sig? No need to disable the power saving features on this series of processors. The OC features, Speedstep and Turbo are enabled by default.

" Yes but the default still comes with many errors, alike BLCK 103. The DIGI+VRM are the most important though which are not set to the OC "neighborhood" by default lets say. i have it sat on 4.2ghz at the mo i ran memtest with my ripjaws on stock and had ONE error... should i me worried? 4.2Ghz is nice, but you can get a minimum of 4.5Ghz out of it. Probably more. But this is the average. I would start at 4.5ghz. Yea I would be worried if you already now on a new machine get memtest errors. But you could get an immediate replacement from where you bought it probably though. Which I would suggest you do. If there is a real error. I am not familiar with the brand you bought but I would strongly recommend getting Kingston, OCZ or Corsair at least. Nothing beneath that in quality.
