Post Your Overclock! [2]

[Solarstarshines]

Make me want to get some Intel parts and show you guys a thing or two

I think 4.5 Ghz is the standard now that's automatic clock for any overclocker being AMD or Intel

Nice one Alan, I'll swap CPU's with you if you like. lol. Great job. Love that voltage.

I'm taking this slow and steady, first issue is the SSD alignment issue and then settle in on fine tuning the OC but as it runs currently I'm solid and stable.

Alan, Paragon Migrate OS to SSD is the way to go. It will transfer, format and align your ssd in 1 step, takes about 15 minutes and you are good to go. It's not free ($19.95) But well worth it to me. In your case, you could use it to transfer your OS to a mechanical hard drive, then transfer it back. Paragon takes care of the rest. I use it for the best backup there is. About every week or two, I clone my OS to another hard drive dedicated just for that. If anything goes wrong, I'm back in business in 3 minutes and will lose nothing.

Honestly Steve don't need nothing over 4.5Ghz Once you pass that up everything else is for pure bragging rights which you have tons of right now I can't get mine to be stable that high 4.6 Ghz at best

Awesome job just don't hit the gas to much that looks like a Beast on a Straightaway

You're right about 4.5 and that's where I run 24/7. But, every once in a while I like to play in BIOS. It's just pure fun. I did get validated at 5.02 once, but have never managed to get it stable there. But, 4.5-4.6 is the 'sweet spot' for this CPU, and that's fast enough, unless I get bored. Plus, if I didn't bump it occasionally, I couldn't post on the 'Post Your Overclock' thread.

My speeds for now, getting intel for Christmas

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

Nice job, rodpgfx and welcome to Seven Forums.

Welcome to seven forums rodpgfx
Nice oc

christmas is a pain in the arse, I need to get me a new psu so i can play

 

[rodpgfx]

Thanks Guys!

Nice friendly crowd here

I can't wait to get my intel stuff. I've been having a lot of problems with AMD since I got it. Nothing big, and it performs perfectly, just usb issues, having to unplug and re-connect components. Pain in the ass. I just hope I can OC my 3770K as much as the bulldozer took

All I can say, is that I hope you've got a good cooler! I've OCed a 2500K and a 3770K in the past and the 3770K is magnitudes hotter. I'm running 4.5GHz on water at the moment and IBT can take my CPU up to 100C (that was on the max setting, it rarely gets over 85 under high load). Lovely CPU though

Welcome to the forums rodpgfx.

4.5 seems to be the sweet spot for the 3770K, I am happy with it as a daily.

What voltage are you running at 4.5 Tom? Temps seem high even for IBT. I hit low to mid 70s after a run on it.

Paul, you forgot to mention that those are your temps when ambient is -5C.

 

[tom982]

A lot lower than I thought it was! 1.125V

Just realised what I did! I updated my BIOS last weekend and I haven't OCed yet. I knew there was something I had to do! I was sat here for a good few minutes wondering why my multiplier was showing as 37 in CPU-Z

Lol, I know your are joking Steve but others might not. I get 10C after a run of IBT with the heating off

Seriously though with regular room temp I get low to mid 70s, and that's at 1.26V iirc.

Your voltage is crazy low Tom, you could say you have a golden chip there, but if you are hitting those temps at that voltage with a H100 then maybe it's not quite so golden.

What thermal compound are you using?

In that case disregard my last post lol, I assume your voltage will be a fair bit higher once you OC again

Yeah, it did seem a little too good to be true! I used to run 4.5 at 1.26V before I updated the BIOS, but I thought I'd try and get the voltage a bit lower so I took it down in increments all the way down to 1.2. I just did a full run of IBT on the high setting and it seems okay for now. I'll let it run with prime overnight and see where that leaves me It's currently 22C in my flat at the moment, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage!

I'm using Arctic Silver 8 by the way.

1.2v is very nice, I hope all goes well with prime at that. I really have not put any time or effort into reducing my voltage yet but I get the feeling it could run lower.

Do you mean Arctic Silver 5? I did a search for 8 on the web but couldn't see any.

I am using Arctic Silver 5.
