Hi All!

Nice!


And how?

In the bios setting i set the CPU EIST Function to "Disabled" and set the CPU Clock Ratio to 47 and use X.M.P. Memory Profile.
that is the main thing i think.
Hope this works with u as well.

Yes!

This works!
And even speed stepping is working!

Never thought that it could be that simple!


Thank you very much!

Awesome stuff! I'm excited to see this as I was just looking into overclocking the same CPU...

Curious if it's still holding up well and stable?

Do you notice a particular temperature range the overclocked unit is comfortable in? I'd like to keep an eye on my hardware stats and have a general base (stock) range but am not sure what's a good range once I get into overclocking...

Thanks again for your post!

All is very stable. Better than the older solution with Yosemite under MB 7.5.
OC temperatures. Idle = 27°C
55-62° under full load of all 4 cores (but I didn't use a standard cpu cooler. I have one with heatpipe and 120mm fan turning very slow - set in BIOS).
