How to Overclock Intel Z68 Chipset?

Question

I want to overcolck my Intel Z68 chipset, but I don't the steps, who can help me ?

Answer 1

You cannot overclock the chipset.



If you mean overclocking the CPU, it is very simple with a "K" series cpu, i.e i5 2500K / i7 2600K.



Just go to the BIOS, CPU configuration, CPU multiplier, change it to whatever you want.. (max is 57, multiplier x 100 = speed (e.g CPU ratio 42 means 42x100 = 4200MHz / 4.2GHz)



Next, go increase the voltage (vCore / CPU voltage) if the computer is crashing.



After that, make sure you have RealTEMP or any temperature monitoring tool to monitor your temperatures. Also download CPU-Z and PRIME95.



If you have all 3 programs make sure you run them after doing the tweaks in the BIOS. Run Prime95 for at least 2 hours to make sure it can run well. If it crashes during that period of time, increase the voltage.



If you want it to be super stable, do a prime95 torture test for at least 12 hours. Make sure you check that the CPU is running at the correct speed in CPU-Z.



Check your temperatures. If you're going over 70, then you have a problem. Either you have a stock cooler, using a underpowered after market cooler or did not install the cooler properly.



Don't touch the B-clock if you want to overclock. It will barely make a difference and it is not very adjustable with Sandy Bridge CPU's





If you have a MSI motherboard or ASUS motherboard, just turn OC GENIE on or TURBO V on. It will automatically overclock up to 4.2GHz for MSI OC G, and higher with ASUS TURBO.

Answer 2

hi,



This is not an overclockers board. Yes, I do have all the voltages you need written down on the notepad I use for overclocking. However, I think it would be best for you to read a few guides to get an idea as to what you're doing. Your goal may be different from my own.



I just push a chip to see how high I can get it, then I back off. I may find a higher setting I like. With the 2600k I own I'm happy at stock speeds. I really can't notice a difference between that and some big number.



Since you're new you need an idea to how all this works. there's plenty of guides for overclocking the 2500k and 2600k. People lie about overclocking or just don't have an idea as to what they're talking about.

Answer 3

You don't overclock the chipset. You overclock the CPU. It's really not hard. Did you try using that wonderful tool known as "Google" to find a guide? Because there are a ton of them out there.
