Hello people,
I just recently joined this board in my quest to solve this puzzle with my new mainboard. I have tried contacting Gigabyte directly on their website but haven't gotten an answer yet so i decided to post my problem here to see if anyone else has a solution for me.
I recently bought a GA-Z77P-D3 mainboard with a i5 3570K CPU and i bought this setup for some moderate OCing.
I installed everything, got windows 8 running and once i checked temps to see where i was running at stock, i decided it was time to start the OC. my goal is to go to aprox 4.5 Ghz on my Scythe big shuriken rev B. cooler and stay there for a 24/7 OC with all the power savings tools still enabled.
I started off with 4.0 Ghz OC and used Prime95 to test stability for 4 hours before going to the next step. Bumped to 4.1 Ghz after this and prime started to give errors so i decided to put in some more Vcore.
I went into the bios, and searched.....searched....searched and could not find any options to increase me Vcore whatsoever.
I searched all over the net and even trying to use 3Dpower to get my Vcore up to much avail. Today i found info that this motherboard does not support increasing Vcore or the so called "overvoltage" option and i got sad. i'm really not willing to throw down 80 Euro's down the drain to get a new mobo so i was wondering if anyone knows if Vcore adjustment is non existant on this board or that i'm overlooking something.
For the record i am willing to try modified bios updates if that makes it work for me, i'm not foreign to fixes like this. if someone is able to make a modded bios to help me out, here is the bios file that i currently use ( Z77P-D3 bios )
So i would be very happy if someone could help me out with this.
