OC Help

Ok this guy is overclocking with your board look at what he is doing and compare your settings maybe you will see something you are doing wrong

I have exact same settings.

Huh.... I set CPU/nb to 2000mhz instead of the stock 2200mhz and no crash.... Running prime now fine at 4.6 1.476v. Let me try and enable LLC for CPU/NB and raise it to 2200mhz...

And crash on 2200mhz... IMA increase voltage a tad....

SUCESS! I had to up the voltage a tad. Its stable now. But its late so I will have to fully test tomorrow.

I never had to mess with CPU/nb voltage before. That's why I never thought it would be it. Owell. That also explains why I couldent boot past 5.2ghz no matter the voltage I guess.....

Should CPU/nb llc be enabled?


EDIT: and it shut off....

EDIT: I set the CPU/nb to 1.2v and it no longer freezes immediately, but i dont think its stable either.

OK so its not shutting off or freezing as soon as I start prime, however now it shuts off after a few mins of prime. No errors, and no lockups. Just shuts PC off. Do you think this is the thermal protection? On my last board running prime, the CPU went above 65c and no shutdown.

Is there something in bios that I can shut off for this just to stress test?

I'm going to try and disable spread spectrums and enable HPC mode and give that a try.

Maybe your CPU had degraded as it has had loads of volts chucked through it and it is no longer capable of sustaining a stable oc at 4.6GHz.

You may have to admit defeat and just run a lower daily oc.

I was thinking the same thing Paul

@NooberGoober Spread spectrum is supposed to be always off you have no devices that would interfere with the electric signals on the pc so it's pointless to have it on

You can always try the chip you had in it before and see if it does the same thing

I sold it.

Do u think its OK to leave at that speed and voltage even tho it fails prime? Like I haven't gotten any bsod or lockups. Would it cause performance problems with not prime stable?

Well if you feel comfortable go ahead I mean in reality none of those programs will run your pc that hard anyway but when you run premier it might pose a issue since it taxes the cpu and ram gpu

Ya thats what I was worried about... Well see how it goes.
