Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards

I suppose it could still be the OS, Are you running regular Windows 8 or 8.1 Preview?


Now don't try this at home kids, I present to you the mother of all Overclocks....

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

Are you leaving HT on?

( still a )



And Regular 8. I'm skipping 8.1

I am sure I turned hyperthreading off, I don't know why CPUz showed it as being on.

Playing around with the turbo, went up another 200MHZ just for giggles.

Nice 1 Doug

Thanks guys, I look forward to joining the 5 club one day. When I get my PSU back I can tweak and hit 4, but need to upgrade for anything better.

 

[kbrady1979]

Good going guys

 

[essenbe]

Good job, Doug.

 

[Dude]

Thanks Kelly and Steve.

How is the tv card working Steve?

Kelly, I see now how you can run without a vid card, these integrated intel graphics work pretty good!

 

[kbrady1979]

I will get a dedicated card soon enough, but the HD 4000 graphics play the games I like to play @ 1080p very well.....so there is just no need atm.

Good one Doug. I'm still on the list, amazing. A Guy

Sorry Kelly, did not intend to unleash the hounds. My intent was to reiterate how good intel HD graphics are. I have a lower version than you, I have the 2500. I can play COD MW2 with it

It's not a problem Doug. Paul was just joking with me because of a conversation we had months ago where I had mentioned getting the same Nvidia card he used to own, then I said I was going to wait for the new line. Here we are months later and I still haven't gotten around to getting a card. I don't play any high end games that require a card to run, so I'm happy with my graphics at the moment. The HD 4000 graphics really surprised me with what you could do with them for sure! I've had more of a need for storage than graphics cards, so that is where I put the money. I'll be looking out for the next time the Seagate 4TB drives go on sale

Quick question, does the overclock have to be stable in Prime for 3 hours+?
I may have hit 4.24 GHz stable for about 2 hours in Prime95 until it BSODs. Will post validation soon

 

[essenbe]

Dom, the last I heard, it only has to be stable long enough to get a validation.
