Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards

Thanks Kelly, be expecting a contact eventually.

Paul, this is weird. I've always been able to see the charts perfectly. I've never had a problem, but this is what I get now.

 

[paulpicks21]

That is a bit odd Steve, is it the same on Page 1 of this thread?
It still looks normal to me

 

[essenbe]

Yes, I tried page 1 also and got the same thing. This one shows up perfect. Computers just have a mind of their own, I guess. But the previous one still shows up the same even though this one shows up perfect. I think you are messing with us.

 

[Britton30]

It looks fine here too.

 

[paulpicks21]

Lol, as long as you can see it OK now Steve, that's the main thing. Must have been a little gremlin

still working on a decent clock settings my biggest issue now is i am either not giving enough volts or my expectations are too high i am @ 4.7 but when i restart i get nothing have to remove hardware ect to get it to start up

Right now that i have gotten it on i am looking for voltages that are the rage i should be and i'm going to start manual voltage settings now it's starting to get to me lol

Because i have to do that like almost every time to figure out what is the problem :sarc:

I'm letting my Pc update and right now im getting the sound like a device is plugged in and being un plugged really annoying


Nevermind lol fixed it volts issue boots up great now running 1.275v-core seems stable about to run some test cross your fingers if this is good i'm done and will net this as all good

Looks Golden to me, Tommy. I can't give you voltage ranges. Your chip is way better than mine.

Check this out I dropped down to x46 I got a UAC message and it ended abruptly so I kept same voltage passed IBT 5 passes I think this is solid without bring more voltages out

You guys are correct 4.6 is the sweet spot and it shows my IBT looks where it should be I guess similar to Kelly's

 

[paulpicks21]

Just so you know Solar, mine needs 1.285V for my daily 4.6GHz OC.

I will update the leaderboards in a bit.

Paul,You know something I was figuring how Intel voltages work and you are spot on seems like I figured I can drop a little lower temps are excellent

I imagine the voltage match for me would be 1.275 for 4.6 stable 1.285 to 1.290 stable 4.7 I'm going to try it later but if my voltage match is correct I can hit this speed and still be under 80c or just on the rim of 80c

 

[kbrady1979]

That's about what mine runs. 4.5-4.6GHz needs about 1.275-1.280 volts and the temps are really good. Mine is stable @ about 1.250v(4.5GHz) if I really get in there and tweak the settings, but I've since restored factory defaults and haven't spent the time to fine tune it yet. I'm guessing you are using an offset of about +.025-ish. Do you have SpeedStep technology enabled so it will throttle up and down as needed? I have some errands to run, but I promise I will take some screencaps of my BIOS and explain some of the things I've done. Mostly I've just followed that OC guide I sent you.

 

[paulpicks21]

I found the voltage increases become quite steep after 4.6GHz.

Also I run mine in offset mode Solar, to get 4.6GHz at 1.285V I set the offset voltage to +0.010

Leaderboards updated.

Also, you could drop your BCLK back down to 100MHz if you wanted. That BCLK affects CPU/RAM/PCI Express and unless you are squeezing the last bit of frequency out of it, it's not usually worth messing with.

Yeah +1 to that! Stay away from BCLK, it's really not needed.

yeah I read messing with the BCLK doesn't do much for anything i'm not using an offset I am manually inputting it all in

I know it's Kooky but it's working for me then using the offset

 

[kbrady1979]

OK, to figure out your offset voltage, take your manual voltage, for instance, 1.275, open up Core Temp and start stress testing it.....Prime 95, AIDA64, IBT, whatever. Notice your VID right below your frequency. While stressing, it may bounce around some but you want to watch it for a few minutes and note what the most common number is. Mine jumps from 1.2510-1.2660 but stays at 1.2660 most of the time. Subtract your VID from your STABLE manual voltage and that is what your offset needs to be. Note that it can be +/-. So, if your stable manual voltage is 1.2750 and your most common VID is say 1.2550 then your offset would be +.020. If your VID is larger than your stable manual voltage, you will end up with a - number, which is acceptable. Offset and "Auto" is a generic way of feeding it what voltage it thinks it needs, but that may be way too liberal. In a nutshell, using an offset is a way of overclocking and yet undervolting at the same time, which is great. You want to find your stable manual voltage first and foremost, then you can apply an offset so you aren't running max voltage for an overclock while idling at 1600MHz.

ok I see what you mean dude I went 4.7 Ghz with that voltage and hell my guys was getting hot hot hot :shock: this has to be the wall I went way over

The TV is an LG 55LA6200 and is nice and has a great picture. I'm very happy with it. I've tried the PLEX server and it is really nice. I'm going to have to try to learn it. I'll eventually figure it out and get it set up the way I want it. We need a section on SF for smart TV's and HT PC computers for dinosaurs like me. But, to answer your questions, I should be building in the next few days depending on the Post Office's delivery schedule. You know how that is.

LG makes very good TV's. The have excellent pictures on them. One of the first things to do is turm off the auto sensor that fools with the picture settings when you are watching TV. Another good tip is to ensure you are not in SHOP or Demo mode which can be very annoying. There are 4 LG monitors in this house and an LG TV is high on the list when we need a new one. Plus I have been repairing TV's since 1975 until 2010 when I got my desk flying job and then went on disability. LG stands for Lucky Goldstar and Life's Good. LG bought out Zenith.
I wish I knew what you guys are talking about. In normal non gaming use do Intel chips thrash AMD or is it pretty much the same till you get into the upper CPU i7 top range chips. I have AMD systems apart from a PIII at 800Mhz from April 2000. Still runs XP. I am happy with my systems. Don't overclock, do light gaming and run virtual images and generally muck about with OS's to keep busy.
