Post Your Overclock! [2]

[ganjiry]

Cheers!
I shall carry on with it 2moz, I just wanted to see if it blue screen'd on me in Bf3. i could pass IBT and unigine or other tools but then crash after 10 mins of Battlefield.
No crashes after a few hours BF and Dirt so all good. I'll see what i can come up wit on the morrow

@ Bungee, Yeah thats pretty low enit. I don't know why though... Are you using any llc?

 

[Bungee18]

@Ganjiry, the problem is that the board does not have LLC and has a limited range of vcore, highest is 1.449.
I can do higher through overclocking software provided by MSI (ClickBios II and Control Center). Will try that option, but to get something like 1.43 under load I would probably have to set it way past 1.5. I'm not sure if I dare...

That is where i told you APS will kick in you can keep it at 1.43 turn on APS the drop will go down to 1.42-1.41 that is when the APS is on when I turned it off i could only get 4.4 stable at 1.43 anything higher almost needs to be maxed at 1.449 and i think the reason you have that stupid vcore ceiling is because the board supports 125 w socket and when you get a board 140 w socket you have more v core to play with

That is why i switched boards to a 140 w and i have more v core to play with it took me 2 years to get it even though the board says bios can reach up to 1.80 volts in the manual but the new Bios UFEI killed it lol and pretty much stuck you with the voltage but yet they are great overclockers

Hi Solar,
I'm already at 1.512 through click bios II. CPUZ shows 1.48 idle 1.44 IBT.
Testing 4.7 right now.
APS is enabled.
Will let you know how it goes.
I was eying a Sabertooth today. A good deal too, but the idea of rebuilding once again is a total turnoff.
More to follow as IBT on 4.7 is done.
Thanks,
J

I didn't like using the MSI tuning Program you are alot bolder then me im to much of a scardey cat when it comes to using programs to overclock in windows it always throws something off and almost never accurate readings but hey you got Guts don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise

 

[Britton30]

What a smart man (essenbe) told me is that he uses the ASUS AI suite to set some overclocks until he gets BSOD, then goes into BIOS and sets it to just below what caused it.

yeah but the problem is with that MSI board Bios only allows 1.449 max voltage

using the MSI Control center gives much higher voltages no way to change them in the bios like the control center

It's like they are forcing you to use th at crap instead of the right way but i was always told the best way and stable way is bios that is why i did ask about it I had mixed feelings about it and decided to leave it be

 

[Britton30]

You're right, BIOS is the best way to do clocking with. I tried the AI Suite once but didn't like it much. I'd never use anything MSI, had bad experiences with the company.

 

[Bungee18]

So here it is: 4.7 stable, 10 passes IBT 1 hour p95.
Core temp stayed around 50C, socket 55C.
I only used Click Bios II to up the vcore. It accesses BIOS directly and mods values there and saves them, unlike control center. You have to re-start after any changes for them to take effect.
Now I'll go back to my stable 4.5, with a slight increase in vcore through click bios, which allows for lower temps and quieter rig.
Thanks for the advice Tommy and Gary
Cheers,
J

Good job Juan, looking good there.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Impressive if it works for you i would leave it but also 1.48 seems kinda high but if it is solid leave it

and enjoy the fruits of your labor

Nice1 Bungee, You're a braver man than me, Fairplay though you got a nice oc

llc has come in right handy although my board defaults llc to it's highest level so had to change that. I've not tried to oc my cpu without any llc but i reckon it would take a lot more patients than i have

Gary, all I use it for is to adjust voltage in AI Suite. I set it up in bios, but when stress testing I use AI to adjust voltages. When I find the right one, I go to bios and change it there. AI allows you to change it in windows, but does not change bios. You have to do that. I never use it for anything else other than monitoring.

 

[ganjiry]

Do you get many false readings with AI suite? When i had Ai suite II installed i found it gave quite a few false readings for fan speeds and northbridge voltages among other things.
Is it the newer version III for your board?
It could be a really good monitoring software once all the little bugs are sorted enit.

 

[Bungee18]

Dropping to 4.4 for 24/7 use. 4.5 and beyond idles at too high a vcore (1.48 or more).
Cinebench only drops from around 7.85 to 7.44. I can live with that...
I can see a Sabertooth in my near future!
Thanks for your comments and advice guys.
Cheers,
J

To me it is dead on i use HW monitor and readings in the Bios to compare so far so good they been dead on

 

[ganjiry]

Nice 1, They must have worked some of the bugs out enit.
I may give it a try again as i liked the probe part of it aswell as the fan control.

your cinebench would be higher if you use the FSB @4.7 im hitting 8.10

Progress update.
I don't usually have much patience when it comes to overclocking but its stopping me thinking about hospital by keeping my mind busy
I've been testing different voltage's @ 4.4Ghz but got a stable 4.4Ghz, 200x 22, @1.428v, Drops to 1.416 @ load.
cpu/nb 2400 @ 1.237v
HT Link 2000 auto v
cpu and cpu/nb llc set to high.
Memory still stock xmp.
Everything seemed stable untill it bsod while playing War Thunder.
So i upped the cpu/ nb to 1.25v which improved stability aswell as increasing score's in everything i've tried so far.
10 Passes IBT in 428.00, Max temp was 47c but settled @ 45c.

Good job tommy and Ryan. you're going to make those AMDs squeal and say "Bob's your uncle".
