Post Your Overclock!

Can't let everyone have fun @ 4.6 Ghz so here i am memory bump from 1600mhz to 1840 mhz a little more tweeking i can get 1866 out of these sticks

I need to run a stability test lol so far so good though

You looking good. Could you post what you temps are under load. Unless I missed it I only see a 2% load.

Well it wasn't stable Cinabench locked up so i will have to be happy with what i got but it was fun trying though

In no way disapointed the ram i have almost clocked to 1866 without having to up the voltage

A Guy

Fighting with this thing trying to get it stable with a lower PLL voltage is beginning to annoy me, which is perfectly normal for overclocking. But 1.7935, with the same 1.325 vcore, and a 1v VCCSA nets me about 7-8 hours of P95 activity before it stops responding.

I can't get the VRM Frequency to show me any love, which means more reading needs to be done. As far as PLL goes, I'm not budging from where it's set to in the saved profile that I'll get back to stabilizing in the wee hours of the morning.

You guys have a head start on me. I just got my 3570K about 3 hours ago. Just getting started, but temps are going to kill me. Maybe time to look at real water. 2 hours of Prime.

that's not too hot Steve and your max temps are within only 3C of each other.

I know, they're all too hot. But, don't worry, they'll go up. I'm running Prime now at 4.5.

Not sure what happened. prime just crashed. No BSOD or lock ups, Prime just got tired of playing after 2 hours. But, that's OK, it was cutting into my gaming time. Here's what it was at 1.5 hours. I guess I'm going to have to break out the D14 again. Core Temp really has that frequency nailed.

My theory on IBT and Prime. If you set your Vcore by IBT you will fail Prime. If you watch the Vcore, When IBT starts it is higher vcore than when Prime starts.

Big reason I think IBT is a perfect tool for a fast/general idea if a OC is stable. especially if looking for a max clock.
But when it comes down to the final stability test .. Prime all the way.

IBT is like 'full throttle' whereas Prime lifts up on the gas every now and then.

It's those transitional power states, vdrops, vdroops etc that are added to Primes mix which do make it the better tool for longevity testing.

What level of LLC do you have it on? And what size of FFT is it hanging on do you know? large or small? - If small, it's not enough vcore.

(And I know your frustration mate.)

Not enough vcore. Sudden quits, appcrash means it's 'in the ballpark', but not quite there.

Also, what version of P95 are you running? The latest is 27.7
