GPU OC Help

ok so i need some help with my OC.....

ive ran this OC 4.6 for a long time, but only recently was able to fully test prime 95 load for a few hrs.


however, the issue im having is that as soon as i start prime 95, or even 10 mins in, my PC shuts off like power was killed to it. its also just freezing up and such.

the PSU is brandy new and was just put in today, however, my last PSU had the same issue.

im currently at 1.5v which seems WAY high for a 4.6ghz OC

on my 4300 CPU, i was at 4.7-4.8 at 1.5v

my CPU temp is staying within reason. below 65C running prime when it works.

it seems that no amount of voltage is working. and its getting ridiculously high now.

i just started to notice this with my brand new mobo. it dident happen on my last one.

any ideas what could be causing this? its sure as hell not voltage for CPU. ive only OC the CPU by the multi.

 

[N00berG00ber]

i reset bios back to stock and it seems to be running fine now..... let me try to OC it again....


nope. still freezes up. maybe its the mobo?

 

[N00berG00ber]

well, its not shutting down anymore, however, its still freezing and the voltage is pretty high....

 

[N00berG00ber]

With?! I can't get it stable for nothing! Maybe its the new mobo?

 

[N00berG00ber]

weird. if I run prime 95 at 4.6ghz, its impossible to to get stable. if I run at 4.5ghz, I can get it stableish at 1.5v

im running intel burn test now at 4.6 with my original voltage of 1.476 (which I still think is a bit high) and its running at the maximum test, and its 100% stable rite now.... huh maybe its just prime or something. idk, but im trusting intel for now.

Cant really help with AMD, but I would stick with 4.5 Just use the higher oc's for a validation or benchmarks

Run a list of the settings you have applied and are you using the latest Asus Bios ?


Also for that speed 4.7 to 4.8 v-core should be around 1,476 to 1,488

Now if you Have LLC adjust it to high and don't touch the NB llc leave it auto

Now as for the temps have you tried reseating the cooler ?? new paste

It is shutting down because it is too hot most likely

Please if you can give us a run down of settings

 

[N00berG00ber]

idk what the hell is up with this thing. after some time on intel burn test, it froze. so I upped the voltage 1 offset, and ran again. after that, PC shut down again. what is up with this?

CPU or mobo peoblem?

 

[Solarstarshines]

Well settings may be the issue or simply the board might not be as good as your original

just because it's the same board doesn't mean it will cooperate the same way

temps are normal never hits 65C. but at 4.5ghz, I need 1.5V?!?! that's not rite.


LLC is enabled (my only option)
CPU multi is 23
FSB 200
NB 2200mhz - its always been here
HT Link 2400mhz - is always been here (changing voltage dident help or underclocking it)
everything else is set to auto. ill try to reseat the cooler. but I don't think its that? would that cause it to lock up all the time? no matter the voltage?


playing games for hrs and such, no BSOD or lockups. just on prime and intel

When it gets to hot it could freeze before shutting down temps can make a pc act a fool depending on what is causing it

Maximum temp for an FX series CPU is 61C, IIRC

Someone may correct me on that, but I'm pretty sure that's close.

my asus alarm goes off at 65C, so I tend to try to stay away from that. while gaming it never got over 48C

I reseated the CPU and Cooler. ima try it now.

 

[N00berG00ber]

nope. immediate shutdown running prime. let me try intel.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Try a Bios update

I can already tell you that voltage might be the cause you need to drop it down to at least 1.476

You don't need 1.5 if you have llc on the voltage is the culprit

 

[N00berG00ber]

Intel very high test got to 1 test done then I stopped it. I tried maximum and it never even got through 1 test and froze. 4.6 at 1.476v

there is something wrong do you have any power states disabled ?

I disabled everything.

I've tried with c6 enabled and disabled. Dosent make a difference.

I'm flashing and older bios version now.....

I personally think the board is messed up. i think i see a long very angry talk with asus tomorrow

So I've had a quick look into this and it seems that AMD suggests 62C.

In that case it's your CPU's safety function stepping in. My recommendation is that you go back to scratch and start over and see at what point the computer starts to act weard and go from there. Also make sure that there is no AutoOC enable as this might only jump in as you are running Prime due to the CPU not being stressed that hard otherwise.

If you think its the Mobo try setting the Clockspeeds to normal and do a test like that. If it does not work then you can be quite sure that its not the CPU.

OK, I've tried with stock settings and bios and it was fine. But I only ran it for a few mins. Only got to test 5 in prime before I stopped it.
