Hello,
I am having some issues regarding overclocking my i5 2500k on a Asus p8z77-v lx motherboard.
My current system specs are:
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler
i5 2500k @ 4.2
Asus p8z77-v lx
Corsair cx600m
2 x 4GB corsair vengeance @ 1600
Sapphire r9 280x toxic
Windows 7 64bit
I usually had my CPU overclocked via the TurboV EVO auto tuning provided my Asus just over 4.3ghz. My temps with this overclock were around 28C on idle and 58C on load.
After researching more into overclocking on this motherboard, people recommend not to use this service because of high voltage. So instead I followed a guide and defaulted the system bios then just increased the multiplier up to 42. This has given me the target clock speed of 4.2ghz.
The problem is now with issues within windows. My PC seems to running a bit slower, more noticeable for a drop of 0.1ghz. The temperature of the cpu as I'm typing this is 38C and on load it's goes just above 60C. Am I meant to change my Voltage as well? Am I missing something? I've looked on Google to find a solution but quite a lot of people say you just need to increase the multiplier for a overclock at that speed.
Also, I have 6 case fans, 5 are pwm fans linked up via splitters. I have set up Fan Xpert 2 to control these, they were working fine to the relative temperature and speed before I tried the manual overclock. They still do when the CPU is on idle, but now whenever the CPU has the slightest stress when opening photoshop for example the fans speed up to 100% then go down to their temperature speed once it's finished loading. I have loaded my previous settings and the problem still persists. This isn't really relative to the above but it's just happened since I defaulted the bios but any help will be appreciated.
Should I just revert back to using the auto tuning service?
Thanks in advanced
