Help with getting my OC back · Need help overclocking P55-UD3R from 2.67 to 3.2

I just put new RAM in my system, and lost my overclock settings =(
I was running at 3.2 GHZ on my I5.

I just put in CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8, and used the XMP Profile 1 in my bios. But It dumped me back to default 2.67 GHZ. Can someone assist me in what I need to change to get back to 3.2GHZ in my bios? Thanks. The multiplier is at 17x
 
ummmm

theres actually no safe way someone can tell you to do something and just set and forget.

Overclocking requires tuning of some sort.
Voltage tuning, heat monitoring, and stress testing, for you to say this is a stable overclock.

This takes time, and its not something that should ever be rushed as a failed overclock can lead to excessive voltage on the cpu which can quickly degrade it and also the ram.


That being said... learn your bios and your cmos reset location. That will be important.

Learn where your vcore adjustment is, because its dangerous to set this on auto and overclock.

Learn where your multiplier is

Learn where your Dram Ratio is
Learn where Load Line Calibration or Vdroop control is. <--- this is important if playing with voltages sub 1.4v which u will be.

Also learn where your DRAM voltage is...

Typically u want no higher then 1.325 if you want your cpu to last a long time, and no more then 1.375 if you expect it to last 2yrs. 1.4v and ur gonna eat into the 1 yr, and more then that near 1.45+v, watch it die in months!

Stress programs for intel which work great are LinX. Temp monitoring programs which i recomend is Realtemp or CoreTemp.

CPUID values can be read from a program called cpu-z and HWmonitor.
 
3.2 should be really easy. I'd try 166x20, 1.3v, stress test, and adjust if needed. You might have to knock your RAM divider down... although if your CPU divider is set at 17x and you're really at 2667MHz, something is wonky with your FSB as it is (i.e. it's not running at default).
