Post Your Overclock! [2]

Nice OC Kelly The voltage probably had your skin crawling huh

It's not too bad for 4.9GHz, but more than I'm comfortable with!

 

[Dude]

Grreat oc Kelly you will be in the 5 club easy

 

[kbrady1979]

Thanks Doug. I'll need 1.500v or better to make it to 5GHz, and that's more than I'm comfortable with at the moment. I may tweak some other settings to see if I can get there though. Still, an Ivy Bridge CPU at 4.9GHz is crazy fast! lol

 

[Dude]

That is crazy fast make sure you get on the leaderboard!

I'm on it.......in last place, but I went from 4.5GHz straight to 4.9GHz and stopped there. Actually ran the computer for awhile @ 4.9 and it ran well. I fiddled with it after dinner and I couldn't get it to boot to the desktop @ 5GHz with less than 1.500v so I stopped testing for now. I'm going to get into my guide and try making some changes to see if I can ease into it another way. I was only changing the multiplier and raising the offset voltage. Crude but now I know where to start tomorrow

Kelly, if you use manual voltage you have more control of how much voltage is actually used. I do it that to find out exactly what vcore is needed at that frequency and then convert it to offset once I know exactly what is needed. Offset fluctuates too much for me when trying to find the voltage needed.

With reference to the http://www.sevenforums.com/overcloc...ial-seven-forums-overclock-leader-boards.html thread, remember we are not looking for rock solid stable OC's, as long as you can validate your speed you are in.

I had mine stable at 5ghz, but it was far from stable at 5.1ghz lol.

Nice one Bill, it's also a Sticky so it will be easy to find

*sigh* Despite passing 11 1/2 hours of prime - 4.7ghz was not stable for me.

Started getting a lot of random BSOD's and WHEA-Logger reports and heaps of app crashes.

I thought it might have been my new USB soundcard (still suspect dodgy drivers).


Everything was nice and stable, but know I'm seriously thinking of ditching my 3rd card. It's starting to cause more headaches than benefits.

I'd grab a pair of 780's but I simply cant afford it, even if I sold my others



And I know it's coincidence, but every single time I help others with crash dumps - my machine takes a nose dive. I'm not doing crash dumps any more.

 

[paulpicks21]

That is ashame Partrick, what Vcore were you running for 4.7ghz?

Unlucky Patrick, 2 cards is still plenty enough though mate One of the lads i game with just bought 2 EVGA 780's with water blocks and had to sit looking at them for over a week as he didn't have time to drain his loop n wot not. They probably started to rust from all the druel

Jeez! As if 1 780 ain't enough! 2 would be mental

Yeah enit chap, Some peeps got too much spare cash lol. He's adding 3x 27" screens too

I just play Solitaire on my single aging GTX 460.

My cpu been running pretty good at 3.4 oc for the past months but lately it's been kind of warm but then again it's like 90-100F outside. Should I worry that my cpu hits a little above 60c sometimes when under stress? My cpu idle is around 44-46c avg though according to hwinfo64. I'm thinking it's probably ok but would like to reassure myself, seeing what you guys think since a lot of you here are big time overclockers. If so I might clock it down or set it to stock clocks.

 

[kbrady1979]

If you are using Prime95, AIDA64 or some other stress testing software and you max out at 60*C you are good to go.

 

[M1GU31]

Well prime 95 runs a tad hot, 73c max sits mainly at 68-70c but in games it's around 59c or so. Though I have no air-conditioning on in the house and only a fan next to me while i'm on the pc and it's 101F outside in my area.

 

[kbrady1979]

That's fine for Prime95.

 

[essenbe]

I agree with Kelly. Considering your ambient temps, those are not bad.
