This is going to be an adventure once I start buying

Whole new ball game Have fun!

Nice oc Gary
One thing that has been noticed with Haswell when really pushing it is that they perform better at a lower oc. Actual numbers i can't remember though.

Been reading this as well

@Kelly they are already Hot pockets applying more voltage might make it to toasty

I already started looking for that Sabertooth Z77 everyone has them on sale for 150.00 to 179.00 dollars that sounds like a win to me

I can't find a I7 3770k around my local stores there all on sale for 249.99

Bom, bom bom bom bom

Tried for 4.7 again, almost made it.

Lookin good, Doug! You'll have it there soon enough

Nice one Doug, I will update tomorrow as I am away from home tonight.

I think with an adaptive CPU voltage, you could either get that same OC with less voltage, or bump it up and have a stable OC.

Tried it and it won't even POST with Adaptive set. Mayube this replacement board is crap too.

Nice one Gary, welcome aboard mate.

Nice OC.

Thanks Paul, it BSOD'd though later, lol.

Very good OC Doug.

That is odd

With Haswell Intel put the voltage regulator on the CPU die so there's a ton more voltage settings which used to be handled by on-board chips. Many volt frequency settings too. I'm so

[Dude]

So I gave another go at 4.7, no luck BSOD. I keep thinking somethng isn't right looking at voltage and temps. So then I decide to reseat my cooler again, that has to be it cause temps spike way to high running IBT it shot to 100 so I stopped it.

So then I remove the cooler, clean the cpu, then thought what the heck, lets see what the stock cooler sitting in my cabinet can do. I put it in, then did a test run at 4.5. Temps only went up to 89C after 5 runs. And prime on the 4th test



So is the other cooler bad, or did I just not have it seated good? I find the not seated right hard to believe as I re did it several times to make sure.

And I watched the voltage, it went to 1.184. Added a IBT x10 passes



What do you guys think, did I bork the installation of the cooler, or is it bad?

 

[Dude]

I gave the cooler one more shot. Re-installed it and the computer would not even boot looks like I will stick with the stock for now

 

[kbrady1979]

Doug, did you reset your motherboard to factory defaults at any time? I'd try that, put a fresh bit of thermal paste on and try your aftermarket cooler again. Unless something in the mounting hardware is broke, I doubt the factory Intel cooler does better than ANY aftermarket cooler.

Yes I did Kelly, reset to default and re did the paste. I'm really baffled by it.

 

[kbrady1979]

When you have the cooler mounted fully, does it seem pretty tight, or is there some wobble to it?

 

[Dude]

I had it fitting pretty tight.

 

[Britton30]

Too tight can sometimes warp the board and the CPU loses contact...or something like that.

 

[Dude]

That may be what I did Gary. It was snug, I didn't over tighten it, it would flex if I grabbed it, but not the cooler itself the MB has some give

 

[kbrady1979]

Finger tight with about 1/8 of a turn is more than enough for that. I don't know what's going on with it Doug......it's got me thoroughly cornfused.

 

[Dude]

Exactly how I feel. It makes no sense, but when it's the cooler master is in I get worse temps than the stock. I even took my motherboard out a few times, making sure I had the cooler just right. At this point I'm done with it. I have it on the stock fan @4.5 and it's stable. I'll leave it alone until I get a liquid cooler.

 

[Britton30]

Odd Doug, a stock Intel cooler has a hard time cooling an ice cube.
