Having trouble keeping my i5-3570k stable with EIST and C1E...

Hi guys,

This is my first post on TomsHardward, been a longtime fan of the site. Anyways, I came here to get some advice on overclocking my i5-3570k. I am able to keep it stable in Prime for over 20 hours with EIST, C1E, and C-States turned off @4.2Ghz. Whenever I enable EIST, C1E, Enhanced Turbo (I have a MSI Z77A-G43), I always get errors around the 12-15 hours mark.

It's really frustrating because I'd like to use the power saving features, but I want my OC to be completely stable. When I have them off and am stable @4.2, I have Vcore set to auto. My Mobo is limited in changing Vcore, only able to add +.04, +.06, +.08, +.10, +.12, +.14, +.16. Getting stable at 4.2 is no problem at auto Vcore, hovering around 1.18.

As soon as I enable these power saving features, though, I run into problems on Prime, like I said earlier, around hours 12-16. Am I doomed with having to have my OC run full all the time? Not too big of a deal, I'm going to upgrade in a year or so anyways. But I could use any and all tips you guys could provide.

Thanks!
