Solved Asus and 3770k OCing

alright sounds good. stock voltage on prime with 2 threads is:


idle - 0.976V
Load - 1.168v

You may be able to bump the OC to 4.2 with no voltage adjustments.

thats what i was hoping for but friday this board should be here. im hella excited! i will actually be able to change cpu and ram settings!

Tommy are you sure your mean 5V and 15V?

what i mean is by .5 you know little by little not by a whole 5v

you should be able to run 4.2 with 1.2v that is really low

awesome! thanks!

Also don't jump into OCing with both feet right away. Run it stock, except set your RAM to it's specs. Run some benchmarks and stress tests with the volts and CPU at stock for a few days. IF anything is wrong it better to find it than with an OC on it.

its been running at stock for a month lol. except RAM i wasent able to change it to stock, so is running at wrong timings and speed. but ya i know. ive ran prime for about an hour and it was fine. no errors. i got to play around with power saving features and such too.

But earlier you said your board will come?

o i c, 4got

Britton30 offered great advise. Get all your new parts together, set everything at default and run the system for awhile, make sure you do not have any bugs, hardware or software. Do some bench scores to establish a base line of the default settings. Then start your OC, one thing at a time and keep a written record of setting and results.

Yep, your system has to be stable before you start OCing

What motherboard did you end up going with again?

The same one that I have. Just got it replaced.

 

[kbrady1979]

The P8Z77-V Pro?

yuppp

 

[N00berG00ber]

looks like an all niter tonight! lol geting my board in a few hrs!

 

[N00berG00ber]

doing the Overclock now. so far, so good. just started up prime and running it at the 4.2 at 1.176v with a max of 64C on the hottest core.... how does that sound temp vs voltage wise? also, i notice in windows after i OC that it does not say 4.2. it says 3.5 still. is that right? i know its at 4.2 cause CPUz is telling me.... but shouldent it change in windows? like my AMD chip changed in windows when i changed the multiplier....

EDIT: 1.160v now.... testing

 

[N00berG00ber]

still testing, but what do you guys think CPU power phase control should be on? Standard or Optimized?

currently im at 1.136v in prime at 4.2 at 62C on the hottest core...

also debating on LLC... medium or high for 24/7? lol

anyway... so far so good!

 

[Britton30]

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