Asus and 3770k OCing

CPU power phase, Optimized
LLC, High.
Actually all your questions can be answered in the guide I posted a link to earlier.

i know.... but i wanr MY settings. not some one else that was shooting for 4.8GHz. so ive been tweaking a little...

but anyway, i have LLC set to high and Power phase set to optimized. i found my voltage and now am testing for 100% stability.

currently at 4.2GHz im at 1.120V and 62C MAX on the hottest core... in prime so far no errors.... sound good?

this is with ALL power saving features turned off. when i get a full 100% stable, i will turn them on again and run prime again and increase voltage if need be.

is it normal to see my 4.2 OC not listed in control panel in windows? CPUz is saying 4.2.

alright final test! looks like im holding strong at 1.120V at 62C on hottest core. so far so good! im at a -130 offset lol.

alright! all done!!!!! running amazing and stable! Thanks everyone for the help!

Max temp was 62C at 1.20V in prime. sound good?

-130 offset ?

Mine is +0.125

The reason I mentioned the guide again is for your benefit, two systems with identical hardware will require different settings to get the same OC. That's why it's a guide, not instructions.

yea i know lol

ii followed it and this one:
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread...C-Tuning-Guide

which just explained many options in bios.

ok is there a stress test out there that is say not very stressfull on the CPU? im passing IBT and Prime, but im getting a lot of force closing on games that ive never had before, and i think its because the cpu is failing...

Uhmm it's failing because you applied settings that shouldn't be now go back to stock and stop lowering the the offset to a Minus state

All you should be doing is finding out how far it can oc off that stock voltage and go from there but you just have to go against the grain lol the chip is not failing you are making it do something it shouldn't be doing

It was made to run at that voltage for a reason everyone here has pretty much had no hassle issues with that cpu please if anything listen to us this time and return to stock use a medium LLC and see how far you can push it from there then adjust the offset in a + Mode i have no clue why you are trying to drop it below that

Turbo and hyper threading use so much at stock and pretty much you are trying to make it run a lot lower then intended which is why stability is killing you the programs are probably crashing because lack of power and cpu can't function because it's hungry for juice

This is what i mean man you are going in reverse Crash after successful stress test [Solved] - Overclocking - Overclocking
