Intel Non-Z Overclocking - Still Alive & Kicking Today, Yippee!

mk, some unsolicited advice if you are getting it for your main and not HTPC/secondary rig.

imo, better to pair i7 with higher end mobo instead of non-Z models which are more suitable for budget chips viz. G3258.

Just got the latest B85 Killer beta BIOS B85KlR_1.31 for handling the Pentium AE from Asrock, let me know if anyone needs it cos I have already moved onto testing the Pentium on another mobo meanwhile.


FYI

BIOS 1.5 Final is out!

Version 1.50 7/22/2014 5.07MB

1. Update InstantFlash Module.
2. Support Intel® Pentium® G3258.
3. Adjust "Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology" setting.

And now it overclocks the PenK G3258 nicely!

Thanks bro. Much appreciated... Hahaha... I may just make that leap

Again same advice, better to pair with a higher end model for i7 chips. Even if it is only just for the more detailed attention paid to the BIOS programming... yes, this a proper Intel sanctioned o'cing Z model.





I simply love it when they get the vcore/vcache voltage programming properly sorted out in higher end models.

Also double confirmed with Asrock TW that only Z chipsets offer Offset and Adaptive voltage options for o'cing, in other words if you are a stickler for low idle voltages like me... you betta stick with Z.

Imho non z ocing but without adaptive voltage control makes it nearly useless for 24/7 ocs...

Heheh, another stickler for 24/7 LoVo overclocking... ?

Actually, still possible to have both o'cing and low idle volts but in a more roundabout way - set up 2 CMOS profiles viz. stock (Auto) and o'c (Manual) and then switch around as needed.

That's the PITA price for not paying Intel's Z tax upfront.


PS: Seems some brands do not even support Adaptive or Offset voltage controls in the 1st place on their present/earlier chipset models.

Seems the oc forum guy still needs help o'cing and since I don't have the same exact mobo, can anyone with the Asus H81M-Plus model pop over and check what else he is missing in his BIOS settings?

realistically speaking i doubt anyone wants to run 1.3-1.4v all the time unless idle

so whats the point of an oc if it cant be 24/7

Do remember not everyone minds running with high idle voltages, may be strange to you and me but there are lots of users doing exactly that.

Just check out the previous gen Em-S-Eye mobos of 7 series vintage and older, you may find that they don't support idle downvolting once overclocked.

Besides, Non-Z mobos are decidedly cheaper than Z mobos, some buyers can't justify pairing a cheap G3258 with an expensive Z mobos.

Hence there is probably still a place for Non-Z o'cing else Asus/Asrock won't be putting so much effort in it.

I actually suspect that Non-Z is quietly sanctioned by Big Blue to achieve sub-USD100 combos for the budget guys, a rather successful poke in AMD's eye. You totally don't hear the Big Blue Meanie ranting against Non-Z this time with the G3258 around unlike last year.

Well if they dont mind their chip being degraded quickly i guess theres nothing to worry about. Then again the chip is so cheap. Unless you're using a 4690k/4790k with a non Z and cant change to adaptive voltage then its quite

No doubt theres many people willing to sacrifice things to save $$$

 

[MacClipper]

Just as pairing a G3258 with an expensive Z mobo is imba... so is pairing the top end 4790K with a non-Z mobo.

But then again, that's just my simplistic viewpoint of things and others are welcome to think or do otherwise cos it's still their right and their own money too.
