I've heard these B75 boards support XMP, but i can't find it in the bios. I doubt it's possible on these boards, else i would have found it. Hate it that my 1866 ram runs at 1333 and i can't set it any higher cause my CPU only supports up to 1333mhz. Is there any way to overclock the ram?
On MSI site says it support up to 2400mhz (OC). Cant you change ram multiplier in bios? You should be able to set your own timings, voltage and frequency. If not then your stuck, B75 board just isnt made for any kind of overclocking.
No i can't change anything other then the timings, frequency i can only pick 800/1066/1333. The B75MA-33 does have XMP, i wonder why this one doesn't.
Well its the board limit, not CPU. Sandy does support higher frequency ram. Im running the same CPU with 1866mhz ram. I even have option to set 2133mhz in bios (OC).
Someone offered me an mini ATX board for 50 euro's incl shipping it's an Asrock Z77 board. I've found a case to go with it, now i need to figure out if it can fit a H100i. It's an Silverstone Raven RV05, on their site it says it supports variety of cooling radiators and they recommend an dual 120mm radiator of their own brand so i guess it can?
Looks like God smiles upon me today, someone offered me an pretty awesome motherboard and the case i bought actually supports ATX and i thought only micro ATX lol. ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 is the brand and model.
lol nice one. Finally new board to let that 2500k shine. Sandy is so easy to overclock and you are already set with cooling, not that you need a beafy one, these chips are not hot. Let us know how it went with overclocking and how good chip you have there.
