    Guide for custom stepped i7 2600K "Per Core" overclocking = extra performance!

    Ok. I am back trying this once again. Followed the steps in the first post. The only thing I didn't change was the CPU C3 & CPU C6. These have to be disabled or I am unable to boot through the Windows logo. The issue I am having is that all cores are registering at 4.5MHz even though I have set...

    Help: OC Asus p8Z77-Pro With i7 Core 2600K

    I figured out my issue where I input any voltage in bios and it won't take affect when test in Windows. It was my bios. I reset the cmos and now it's working as it should be.

Looking at the ss below, the me version is missing and my ram memory freq is not displaying. I would hate to have to re-flash the mb. The last time I...

    Help: OC Asus p8Z77-Pro With i7 Core 2600K

    I am a bit confuse now. Looking at the last screenshot cpu core voltage of 1.280. Is this suppose to be the same voltage I input in bios under cpu voltage?

    @aaron_atx Thanks for help. I have been reading other guides and using it as a reference to OC my setup. Now, I have ran into a wall. I can't seem to change the cpu voltage. I've tried to set it in manual and offset mode, but I see the same reading of 1.3761 under load. The only time it...

    I followed the guide and input what it said. I have no way of knowing the cpu temps since I cannot boot into Windows from a cold start. I do have a cooling system. It's a Corsair H60.

    I have had this cpu for about 2 years and I want to boost some power out of it now. I've found this guide with the same cpu but a different model Asus board. After applying the settings as suggested, I am not able to boot to Windows. It freezes at the Windows Logo. What could be the issue...
