Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards [2]

Tommy, trials aren't too bad, but the errors can get very expensive. Trust me, I know.

Doug, don't say blaze.

Paul when you do the maniac runs do you first set a manual voltage in BIOS then use TurboV?

still in 6th lol

I do Yes.
I set the voltage, then turn off speedstep and off I go with Turbo v

So do you still use the offset setting or is that changed to manual voltage ?

When I do the Bios overclocking i set manual voltage first time I disabled Hyperthreading left speedstep on

Second time I left everything on except offset and applied fixed voltages does that sound about right to you ?

 

[paulpicks21]

Changing to manual voltage gets rid of the offset mode, the 2 choices are either Manual or Offset mode.

So when I want to use TurboV in Windows I change to manual voltage, set it to what I know is right for my regular 4.6GHz OC (1.248v) then I turn off Speedstep as I don't want it to step down to 1.6GHz while I am running 1.248v and then I boot into Windows and fire up TurboV, I then use that to adjust Voltage and speed for the Validation runs.

What's wrong with this picture. It's a new Z77-WS board.

I'm on my phone app right now, so its hard to see. I do see that the label wording is a little funny. I'll look again when I'm back at my rig to see if I'm missing something.

uhmm I guess they started making transparent covers so the chips will go through once you have it installed the cover magicly reappears

I just want to make sure I am still doing the right way I never used the offset for the higher overclocks I figure it's no point when you are just trying to bench real fast

Well the new CPU arrived, it's very nice to be typing this reply from my main rig again.

The new CPU is only fractionally better than my old one. It will pass IBT at 1.248V as apposed to 1.280V on my old one. I think it's not a very good CPU sadly.
The good news is the second 3770k just shipped today so hopefully I will have that tomorrow. I really hope that one is better.

I said I would not go above 1.75V, this is the highest I can get on this CPU.

Aren't you supposed to put 1500 miles on it before you go full speed?

[Dude]

They shipped it 1500 miles, he's good to go

The label is not right for this socket cover, the picture on the label is the right one. This label is for the cover that goes on the CPU retainer, not for the one that fits inside the socket, as my example is. Here is what the cover should be for that label, nipped the pic from Newegg.

Good luck n have fun

Thanks, it's not going well so far, I must have over tightened one of the screws last time, it is just spinning in the plastic backplate so I can't get the cooler off.

 

[Britton30]

I've done it Paul. I use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to hold the nut from the backside while turning the screw. Be careful you can gouge the board with the pliers or screwdriver. Finger tighten only too.
After it's off try my super glue trick I posted earlier. Give it an hour to cure.
