i5-4670k on Gigabyte z87-UD3H, please help me overclock!

[pepi93]

Please help me oc my setup.

Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H, 1.0, F7 bios
Intel i5 4670k with a Noctua NH-D14 HS
G-Skill 1600mhz 8,8,8,24 1.5v 2*4gb RAM
Gigabyte 550GTX Ti OC 1gb
OCZ SSD


I set my memory timings according to my specs 8,8,8,24 but I noticed in cpu-z that my Dram frequency is 800mhz even though I set it to 1600mhz in bios?


I just upgraded from a Asus P5B-Deluxe, which oc'd great but the options on the Gigabyte are extensive.

Looking for someone who has the same board and a haswell i5k/i7k to help me with some settings.

I'd like to get a 4.5-4.7 OC and I read that the "costa rica" chips can get 5ghz on air. I have the "costa rica" chip.

I'm sure there's a lot more to it than what I've done. Articles are vague or not combining the board/cpu I have together.

Thanks in advance

DRAM is fine it's DDR (Double data rate) fo take freq 800x2 to get effective of 1600, , try 44 at 1.25 initially and then bring voltage down slowly while maintaining stability - as far as the 'Costa Rica" chip, doesn't really matter where they are made there are always some good ones and some bad ones and occasionally some great ones

Asus had some interesting findings when they did some testing:
