P8Z68-V/gen3 + 2500K & TPU switch overclocking?

[johnno]

Hi,

Had my set up for a month or so now and thought I would try a bit of overclocking. First go with an Intel but have done some with an AMD X2 3800+!

Anyway, going through the Bios it looked very complicated and I didn't find any really good guides (didn't search much). I was looking through the manual and found this 'TPU switch' that is located on the board,

'turning this switch to ENABLE will automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds.'

Umm I thought and flipped the switch. Upon starting the machine rebooted twice before loading Windows.

All seems OK. Is this a safe way to overclock? As I said earlier doing it manually looks complicated!

Two pics, one idle and one stressed. What do you think?

Looks good, enjoy your new speeds.

That's cool you can just switch something on the board instead of doing all thru bios then can just go into bios and do little modifications and you're set.

i would checkout overclock.net. that's where i learned everything i know on overclocking sandy bridge. tons of information on the intel K chips and different motherboards.

Looks like you have some good numbers there. If you are not confident or experienced, leave it go.

You should be good to go, its all in spec.
