Go into your Bios and make the following changes. We are not going to try for the highest OC without establishing a base line at lower OC to determine temperatures and voltages. Lets try initially for a 4.4GHz OC.
In AI Overclock Tuner set the XMP profile for your RAM.
Turbo Ratio>Set to> Manual
Ratio Synchronizing Control> Enabled
1-Core Ratio limit :44
Internal Pll Overvoltage> Enabled
CPU Voltage> Manual
CPU Manual Voltage> 1.2500V
CPU Spread Spectrum : Disabled
BCLK Recovery : Disabled
Go to>CPU Advanced power management.
CPU Ratio: 44
Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology : Disabled
Disable Cstates C1E and reporting on C3, C6,C7. These are just Power Saving features and can be turned back on when MAX OC is stable.
CPU Load-Line Calibration : High
CPU Current Capability : 120%
Leave the rest on Auto for now and conduct a stability test.
Download HWMonitor and AIDA64 and put them side by side on your desktop.
In AIDA64, Go to the Tools menu and select to stress your system.
Check the boxes for CPU, FPU and Cache only and run the test for 10mins.
Keep an eye on your temperatures and stop the test if temps reach 75C.
Take screen shots at the 10min mark and report the results here for analysis.
I would wan't to see all Rail voltages in HWMonitor, 100% Utilization on all Cores and Core temperatures.
To report your results you can use your favorite file host or use IMIGUR to host your files. Once files are uploaded, go to your Images in IMIGUR and obtain the BBurl as a link here.
