The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
Showing the basic steps to Overclock on a X58 chipset mobo. The Gigabyte UD3R comes with a easy OCing software package I suggest you use first if your are not familiar with overclocking. *** OVERCLOCKING HAS RISKS OF CAUSING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH YOUR SYSTEM. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE IF YOU FOLLOW THIS GUIDE. *** BE AWARE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OVERCLOCKING ***

@bossxii I try to do it. I didint work.Than i tried to do step by step. But it reseats it.
@MrTwrdi007TV Is it stable at lower speeds? Try to step it up a little at a time. If you went directly to 4.2 it could have reset to stock as the CPU won’t OC that high. Each CPU is slightly different in terms of how high it may overclock to. I’d suggest trying to move the base clock by 5 each time. 160, 165, 170 etc… making sure each time it boots, and runs fine for a while. Run some sort of tests before moving it up further.
This didnt work for me.In bios the closk is 4.20. But my core sped is 3.2 stil in cpuz
@Jecoholic03 what clock are u at i had those orange lights untill i set some voltages manually set as many as u can
@asus3571 left memory socket with green and orange and 1 green on the right. .i believe the 2 on the left was cpu voltage/temp. .i used to have an adata 1600mz ram at the time, bought a new dominator reset my bios it did got rid of the lit leds but still experiencing the BSOD. .still trying to find out whats the cause. .thanks
@Jecoholic03 WHAT ARE THE LOCATIONS OF THE LED’S I HAVE THAT BOARD
LLC is on standard, level 1 or level 2 ?
@bossxii it wasnt the ram, i bought a triple channel dominator and still getting bsod. .looks like im gonna end up building a new one little by little. .lol RAM down now i have to check if it is the gpu,mobo or cpu. .sigh
@Jecoholic03 It could be the ram, or it could simply be the CPU you have. As I mention in the video some CPU’s won’t run much higher than the speed they are sold/rated at while others can be OC"d very high. This all comes down to basically a roll of the dice and how "perfect" the pc of silicon it was cut from. I have a friend from night school that has the same chip on an Asus mobo running at 4.6 under water with zero issues. I can get to 4.2 and that’s it for the most part.
@bossxii correction 4.2** but i had to set them back to default, even in default my system still crashes. .i checked my minidump files and open it in a debugging tools it says it’s a hardware. .hope its just my ram.
@Jecoholic03 I’ve actually only OC’d to 4.2 stable, and when I say stable that is for benchmarks and some programs. It still crashes or causes some hang ups even at that. I have not adjusted any voltages or tweaked the bios further. As far as the lights on your motherboard, they are suppose to be on, and are basically troubleshooting/status lights. If you open the Gigabyte book it will tell you what colors mean what. Red is typicall a bad sign, but depending on which lights come on and stay on.

Dayum to u sir. .3.06 to 4.6, only have 1 question do i have to worry on the 2 led lit on my mobo? 1 is orange and 1 is green. .
How many volts? thx.
Hey, I heard that having x23 as the baseclock makes it more stable, is it possible to have the same with x23 with the qpi and memory is also oc correctly?
@Adywerty88 I’m not familiar with how 2000mhz memory is going to scale up based on the OC methods for the X58. Running slower than factory spec is not going to create any major issues, which is why I set the clock/timer value to 6, or the lowest to keep the ram within factory spec’s. You can always slowly increase that setting, but I would read up all you can about your specific ram/brand before overclocking it. GL
@asus3571 Those light are suppose to light up, they are basically like trouble codes/error codes (if it has an issue with the CPU). I don’t have the book with me right now but if it flashes certain lights the book tells you what the issue is. If it’s say overheating, or say the CPU was unseated in the socket, or ram issues etc.. I think one set is for the CPU only, the other is for the mobo.
it works but the memory is running at 1000 mhz but i am stiil getting 7.9 in windows 7
i got the kingstone hiper x 6 gb kit
nice vid brother ? 4 ya i have that board you have any probs with those lights left of the cpu clicking and blinking at boot mine always boots just seems those lights shouldnt be doing what their doing thanks
@Adywerty88 Everything will be the same. The only difference is with the 2000 mhz memory you can run the memory at higher speeds than the x6 mutiplier under the "System Memory Multiplier (SPD)" settings. I basically would start out at 6, boot up, run a few benchmarks, make sure everything is stable. Then up it to 8.
Key to Overclocking imo is taking things slow and methodical.
@reddead2067 Nope. The only changes made were what you see in the video.
i got the same motherboard , the same cpu i7 950 but xmp 2000 mhz memori . how am i gonna do the overclock?

To the OP BossXII,
You didn’t need to change any voltages?
@amd1507 I’m using 12gigs of A Data brand 1333Mhz ram. I keep the ram "underclocked" below the 1333Mhz speed by changing the multiplier to the lowest speed. This seems to help with stability. I have run it at 1600, but experience crashes rather often.
