  • i5 2500k, Z77X-d3h (v 1.0)

    Hi all,
    My head hurts trying to overclock with this MB. PC has no problems on default settings.
    I've been at it for months and I'm throwing the towel in!
    I have read and tried every method in overclocking to get it to sick, but no luck.
    The problem is that the pc will boot into second BIOS from cold boot, sometimes it boot loops, thinks about it for a bit. Then loads into windows. This doesn't happen all the time.
    I might find a different combination of bios settings that I haven't tried. I give it a go, but after a day or so I get the boots loops from a cold start.
    Waking from sleep is usually ok. Running prime95, IBT and OCCT finds no problems with my overclock in windows. Its just the cold boot and sometimes waking from sleep.(both boot into second BIOS)
    What's more annoying is my i5 was rock stable in my old p8p67 MB @ 1.320v (4.4) using off-set to overclock.
    I'm guessing my i5 and Z77X-D3h don't love each other. I think the longest ive gone without a boot loop is 2 or 3 days, then, BAM. boot, boot, boot..........Noooooo.

    I've even set the board back to my supplier. They found no faults.
    Ive overclocked with fix voltages, and off set. Turned turbo ratio off. Both BIOS have the same versions(f18b). I've used 19h BIOS (Mod BIOS from UD3H). I've memory test, no problems. Tried OC'ing 2 sticks of ram. Tried VTT 1.12, IMC 1.05, vddr 1.66. Turned all the power saving features off. I've taken cmos battery out over night. I've tried 4.2 on auto. This list could gone on for a while.
    I've tried OC'ing 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6. I still get the PC booting into second BIOS.......Think my list will stop here!

    The only difference between the Z77X and p8p67 MB is that i'm running two GTX 460 in SLI on my Z77X. As you all know p8p67 can only do crossfire.

    Just had a idea! Might and try to overclock with 1 GTX 460. Why should that make a difference, I don't know.

    So my question is, what is the main reason for my pc to boot into 2nd BIOS when I try and overclock?

    Edit: Sorry if i'm being stupid. All settings on auto my vcore reads 1.200v in BIOS. If I set my multi to 43, disable c1e, eist , c3, c6 cpu thermal monitor and enable internal cpu PLL. Boot into windows cpuz reads vcore @ 1.325. Nice.
    But going back into BIOS vcore reads at the M.i.T health screen 1.224v and in M.i.T \Adv v settings\CPU core v control. It reads 1.240v. Am I'm right in thinking that it should read 1.325v on all BIOS vcore monitoring systems with the multi set to 43 ?

    Regards.

    Re: i5 2500k, Z77X-d3h (v 1.0)

    it reads more vcore in windows because llc is being applied and that adds a chunk of voltage to the chips default voltage in the bios

    you need to use a lower llc level or set cpu voltage to normal and undervolt the vcore with a minus - dvid amount

    are you flashing both bios chips backup and main by spamming alt and f10 keys at gigabyte splash screen? that might help as will manually setting the bclk to 99 or 100

      Hi wazza300,
      Thanks for your reply.
      Answering your two questions. Yes, Alt f10 method, 99 and 100mhz set manually. Think I've read somewhere 101 might help. Tried that. No luck.

      So today I'm trying vcore on auto, base clock to 99mhz. CPU ratio 44, Turbo boost off. LLC med, this give me a vcore under load of 1.332v, 1.344v. I know that this vcore voltage gives me stability in windows.
      I've found that setting LLC low gives me a vcore of 1.320. But under prime gives me a error on core 3 after 3 hours.

      If I still get boot loops from a cold start I will try LLC on auto and use off set to get my required volts. Base clock set to 99.

      Regards.

        Re: i5 2500k, Z77X-d3h (v 1.0)

        Morning all,
        Turned PC on this am, guess what I had? Yes! PC boot looped quickly 3 times, (but didn't boot into 2nd BIOS). Then loaded into windows like nothing had happen.
        I then shut down PC for 30 minuets or so. Re-started, and it booted into windows with no problems!

        Why would the PC boot fine for two days and wake from sleep with no problems, no errors in window? Then start boot looping for no reason. As I said on my first post, its always done this no matter my OC method. Guess I've learn that not all PC's can OC. My next build I will put more money to a motherboard.

        My overclock is, bclk 99. LLC med. Turbo boost disabled. CPU clock ratio 44. F18d BIOS

        I just find it annoying not knowing why.

        Regards.

          could be a cold boot issue,thats usually down to memory settings,using x.m.p for your memory?

            Re: i5 2500k, Z77X-d3h (v 1.0)

            I just enabled x.m.p. When I loaded i.e 10 it stopped responding. I rebooted then got a blue screen error read. "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area". I rebooted again, got another blue screen error. "PFN_List_Corrupt".

            So back on auto for memory.

            My rams x.m.p is 6.8.6.24 1T. It reads this correct in BIOS but in windows on cpu-z it reads it as 7.8.6 24 2T

            On auto it is set to 9.9.9.28 2T. Performance mode Turbo.

            I have memory test all the ram, no errors. I have also tried raising the volts to 1.650 and setting the performance mode to normal. I have also dialled in the memory times manually, still get cold boot issues. I have tried all this on two sticks of ram and still get the reboots from a cold start.

            I've always thought, suspected that my ram might be the issue.

            Might buy some two 4GB sticks. What's recommended at the mo?

              try with auto timings again but try 1.08v cpu/vtt

              also set vcore voltage response to fast and pwm phase control to extreme performance and see if its any better,dram v id use 1.55v

                Thanks for your suggestions.
                Will give the setting a shot.
                If I get no joy I might pick some samsung green ram up.

                    Don't order new RAM!!!!

                    I've had the same problem with this board for over a year.
                    It's not the RAM, it's just an issue with THIS PARTICULAR board.

                    I read somewhere a while ago you can flash some BIOS to it which will fix the issue but I can't seem to find it.

                    Don't waste your money, it's just a minor issue with this board.

                    I registered JUST to reply to you so you don't waste money and time trying to fix this mysterious issue.

                      what bios version did you use to fix it? can you remember?

                      z77 beta/bios testing has resumed now so maybe they will fix whatever it is

                        I'm going to try the new ram with the latest beta bios F18e with OC settings posted here tomorrow.
                        For me, I cant admit defeat yet! It's half the fun in OCing. (sad I know) When, if I do solve the reboot issue I will be able to help others with similar problems.
                        Also, Big Brother is starting soon and the wife loves it. So I need to hide for an hour or so

                          Just a quick update.

                          Since installing my new Samsung green RAM I've had no cold boot or sleep issues, yet!

                          OC to 44, LLC Low, PWM phase extreme perf. Vcore voltage response fast. CPU bclk 100.00. vcore auto.

                          Ram OC to 2133 @ 10.10.10.28 1T @1.5v, I have tried 1.45v but windows crashed. Performance, normal

                            ahh that's good,don't be scared to use upto 1.65v dram voltage,that memory can take it just fine,1.55v tends to be the sweetspot
