Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards

[derekimo]

OK, guess it's just on my end.

I'll work on figuring it out.

:focus: Carry on chaps.

I've added a direct link bellow the chart so you can view it if you dont figure out the problem.

Thanks John.

Edit: still wanted me to sign in to google docs, but it now shows on post 2 so it's all good.

Not too bad for my first overclock

Nice Oc Dom

Not too bad for my first overclock
Thanks Solarstarshines for the help!

EDIT: Voltage according to BIOS is 1.3750 V, not 1.4 as shown in the validator

Good Job Dom I bet your Rig is Fast Beast now

After a few hours of trying, I just don't think my CPU can do 5GHz. I'll post this up though.

Nice overclock, Kelly. Have you tried the same settings with the FSB at 103? If it will run like that, it will put you over the line. You may find this a good read if you haven't read it before.
Ivy Bridge Overclocking Guide#

 

[kbrady1979]

That is the guide I use......very good information. I tried bumping up the FSB and it just can't handle it. I think I'm at the upper limit of this 3570K and honestly, it's fast enough at stock speed to do more than what I need. For Ivy Bridge and a 3570K, it's probably in the top 30% of chips as far as OC ability......can't complain about that.

Also, it isn't a heat issue keeping me from reaching 5GHz, I can't get it to boot because of too much voltage. When I use a manual voltage of 1.530 or more, save changes and reboot, it won't post and I have to lower it. As far as I am aware, there is no getting around that. Fun to play around with though!

I don't know how everyone feels about this, is it cheating? Is it not? I am not fussed about the speed being posted in the leaderboards either way as it seems a little too easy to me.

Nah, let's concentrate on max bootable;validadatble / forget stable.



Edit:

Seems I can't play. I've got me some Gremlins.

CPU-Z freezes the system when validating.

And after a couple of hard resets, my BIOS is 'making up' it's own settings.

I disabled HT. It stayed Enabled.
It disabled the VM option itself.
It then set itself back to Auto for the ratio. Turned the OC off without touching anything else.


CPU-Z has never been quite right for me in Windows 8 for some odd reason.

Patrick, Asus had some bugs in bios that did similar thing to a lot of boards. The latest update fixed those. Of course it could be another windows 8 thing too.

 

[ganjiry]

So close but yet so far
CPU-Z Validator 3.1
It booted to desktop@5Ghz but bsod'd before i could validate it and needed a cmos reset to boot again, So i gave up for now :sarc:
It was more that likely due to HT,Cpu/nb and memory being too high for the 5Ghz. We shall see!

Lol, going to sneak in while there are few entries, as I'll get booted soon This is just a BCLK change from 133Mhz to 160Mhz. All turbo and power savings on.

Here's idle



Nothing like you guys, but then I'm somewhat sane

Nice oc Bill
Lol sanity whats that then

Actually, my BIOS is pretty old and I've been meaning to 'get around to it' - so it's off to update. Cheers Steve

 

[paulpicks21]

Leaderboards updated.

Sorry to hear you are having issues Patrick.

So close Ryan! It's moved you up 1 place though.

Nice one Bill, you are on the leaderboards and you are not last either

 

[ganjiry]

Leaderboards updated.

So close Ryan! It's moved you up 1 place though.

Cheers chap

 

[AddRAM]

Here`s my modest 4.2, I`m playin it safe til I go liquid.

 

[smarteyeball]

Hmm, BIOS update did nothing to help freezing - but I can now boot at my kits full rated speed of 2666mhz

Not all bad.

 

[paulpicks21]

Welcome aboard AddRAM, added to the leaderboards.

That's some fast Ram Patrick, don't know what to suggest regarding your CPU. Doe's it work fine at stock speeds?

Patrick, on my board the early bios's were fine, it was the later ones that messed everything up. Then they finally fixed it on the last update.
