OK people, it`s time to help a member out, it seems I have all the appropriate hardware to do some type of OCing, but yet I can`t even get it to boot at 4.5 What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing right ? You guys are all having great results and I`m not getting anywhere, even with the new hardware. Temps are great running all the tests, but I`m still not doing or setting something right. So Sad and I was expecting soo much more, sad does not begin to describe the emotion
Brian set VDroop to 100%. With OC Genie disabled, set the Core Ratios all to 45X. Disable Overspeed Protection. Disable C-State and enable C1E instead. Set the power limits to 250 - 255. Leave Primary Plane (a) at 1024, but set secondary Plane limit at 60-128. Primary and Secondary Turbo to 250 - 255
AddRam, I Know you have an MSI board, but this is a guide for Asus boards. (Ivy Bridge Overclocking Guide) While yours may not have the same options, it will explain a lot of the terms and where to set the bios options you do have. Personally, I find it easier to set the voltage to manual to find the lowest voltage I can run at a given multiplier. It is then fairly simple to convert that to offset. I have an Asus board and have my bios set almost exactly by this guide and it works for me. I think whatever board you have there are only a couple of options that are critical, LLC being the most. I have mine set to Ultra High. I also use Core Temp to monitor temps. I have found it to be accurate and also shows my VID, which tells you a lot about your chip. I believe Dud has an MSI board so he could probably help more. But, this guide will help you understand the terms of bios and what thwy mean and what they do.

I just PM him the same thing but had to look at his specs
MSI has none of those features it is a total new Mister ,I hated it Doug will have to be the Lead with this one MSi is no longer my thing
Solar, I agree. The worst part is, I think all manufacturers have the same basic options, they just have a different name for them. I'm not sure why they can't all have the same name for the same thing. It just makes everything confusing if you change manufacturers or try helping someone with a different brand board.
Also set digital compensation to high. I would try for about 1.3vs. You can try auto first, then manual if not working. I have read a lot of people not being happy with MSI. I have even said I want to switch to ASUS. But I am really happy with the performance I get with mine, I just want more options. You can try 87.5-100 on the vdroop. You should get 4.5-4.6 easy with those settings, good luck!
