Overclocking sabertooth p67 and i72600k

[GunJam]

Hello

 

I would like to over clock my system and i think I am ready with all the necessary parts. My current plan is to OC to the amount that would drive CPU temps to no higher than 75c. I also plan to ramp speeds up slowly over the course of maybe a month or more. I suspect that I could safely run 4.5 to 4.9 ghz....

 

The only thing I can think of that maybe an issue is my GPU is an older Nvidia 8800 ultra which I plan to replace soon but I figured maybe I would OC from stock 3.4ghz to maybe 3.8 to 4.0 and not touch anything until I get the new GPU and see if everything is still stable after GPU install.

 

System specs:

 

win 7 pro 64 bit

 

Asus sabertooth p67 revision 3.0 (b3) running latest 2103 BIOS (Originally shipped with 2001 version bios)

 

G.skill 8gb occupying 2 slots (f3-14900cl9d-8gbsr) DDR3-1866 pc3-14900 4096mb x2 CL9-10-9-28 1.5v

 

i7-2600k 3.4 ghz (lga 1155)

 

Corsair HX 750w

 

Noctua NH-D14 Se2011 PWM with both fans attached and PWM speed profile setup current idle temp is 26c with fans at idle 300 rpm as reported by Asus thermal radar. Loaded temp is 48 to 50c with prime95 and CPUz reports MAX cpu speed at 3800mhz (so apparently its already overclocking its self 400mhz)

 

Case is corsair 650D

 

 

 

I have read a bit on overclocking but so far the most helpful information has been watching a youtube overclock tutorial video of a similar system

 

One issue I have noticed is the manual for the sabertooth p67 and the video show that after "Ai overclock tuner" is set to manual BCLK/PEG becomes available mine says "BCLK/PCIE" I can only assume this is the same thing there is no mention of it in the manual and I cant find any examples of it online....any ideas on that?

 

So based on what I have seen and read my initial plan is to setup a manual profile in Ai overclock tuner with 0% overclock and just verify the baseline works and is stable. Below is the following plan of action

 

1) set the AI over clock tuner to manual.

2) according to the video leave the BLCK/PCIE (PEG?) to 100.0

3) set the "Turbo ratio" to by all cores

4)set "by all cores (can adjust in os)" to 34

 

34x100.0 is 3400 for 0% overclock

 

Its a bran new system I want to learn a little about overclocking but I dont want to screw anything up so I figured a guided cautious approach over a decent time span would be the best idea.

 

Thanks

Link in my sig should help.

Hey thanks

 

I see in your AI Overclock tuner menu it also says BCLK/PCIE not PEG. I read over most of the stuff in your sig at least once some of it twice.

 

It seems like Im on the right track but no one has mentioned yet if I left anything out of my initial plan or overlooked something.

 

 

Thanks
