Post Your Overclock! [2]

[boogieboy]

Today I OC'd my CPU first time.. I used my mobo's official OC'ing software F-Stream and the stock speed of my i5 4670K is 3.4Ghz and it I ran on 4.4Ghz on Automatic Turbo settings.. anyways the temps went from 21c to 29c and the Cooler fan was running at 1800rpm and was a bit louder then it's normal 1400rpm sound. The windows was idle haven't benchmarked anything yet.

 

[Dude]

looking good boogieboy

 

[essenbe]

Good job, boogieboy.

 

[boogieboy]

Thanks

Not wanting to go against what Dude and Essenbe said but I don't think it's good until it's been stress tested.

Idle temps are really nothing to go by at all and cannot give any indication of how hot it's going to get.

I expect it will be fine but as most of us know, when you use the auto motherboard software it can often chuck a lot more voltage through the chip than is required and as a result generate a lot of heat under load.

I would recommend testing it under load for a while, see what voltage it's running and how hot it is getting.

Providing that's all good then job done

I do agree the auto over clocking program in most cases will drive your volts way to high.
That is the big reason I don't use such programs.
When and if you do load test your system after using a over clock program be very careful because the volts and temps will clime very fast. You must be ready at all times during the test to shut down the test. Then let the system idle for a while to even the temps out to normal and then go into bios and change your settings. A over heated cpu will cool faster at idle than it will with the computer turned completely off if you have proper cooling.

Note: If the temps don't come down at idle shut the computer down and check for a cooling problem.

I also agree a over clock means nothing until it is tested under a load.

I personally do load test at default first and monitor the temps and volts. That give me a good idea if my cooling is good enough to continue with over clocking and what volts are being used. It also gives me a base line of volts and temps.

My over clock is not great but yet still very good for the volts I use while still staying cool.

CPU Intel i7-4820-E @ 4.625/vcore 1.3V bios

That is the balance one has to find. (The sweat spot)

Overclocked my new build today from ~4000MHz to ~4300MHz and set my fans to 1700+ rpm.

I should probably update my specs list too.

Tommy, is that voltage typical for the new CPUs at that clock speed?

Yes the voltage is pretty bad on this one

The average voltage i am actually at is 1.344 what you are seeing is the LLC in action 1.344upwards to 1.366 volts

in Order to do 4.7 -4.8 stable takes from 1.37-1.4.00 which is plain out silly 1.4 is the wall and most chips don't go that much over 4.6 anyway

This guide will show you that the voltage on this thing can get crazy people running 4.6 hitting 1.38 volts and that is average lol Skylake Overclocking Guide [With Statistics]

Full load my temps go from 67c to 72c i have once ina while seen it hit 80c but not often i call that a win

By the way i changed my Overclock it's still 4.6 but i cranked up the BLCK and drop the multiplyer Mem 3200Mhz boosted to 3300 Mhz

Just my opinion so please don't kick me in the goodies.

I would suggest if you are going to run that over clock with those voltages and temperatures of get more cpu cooling.

I'm not sure why a 95W cpu should run that hot.

 

[ThrashZone]

That some wild temps for a H110i GT 80c :shock:

Did you remember to crank up the pump to performance and fans to max ?

If you read the guide i posted you will find my temps pretty much normal it has nothing to do with the cooler at all higher voltages more heat in this case these chips are volt hogs just to achieve 4.7 you need at least a V-core of 1.37 volts lol


This isn't your Sandy or Ivy and better yet Devils Canyon this is a whole new spectrum

It's not the cooler that is how they run but that was just a Brief showing of what temps are like when the system is being stressed those 70c to 80c is Running test like IBT it is meant to make it run like that average my temps don't go over 43C

You guys must of got me wrong when i said the temps this was stress testing temps lol

Also my Vcore is 1.344 it goes up because LLC is set to level one which means it boost to 1.36 during stressing to assure proper voltage

Plus i overclocked my ram from 3200mhz to 3300mhz

 

[ThrashZone]

Okay but is that using the default settings for the cpu cooler ?
I was just wondering if you adjusted the cpu coolers pump and fans/ profiles is all

Yes Default settings no need to ramp it up i see about 50c at best gaming

 

[ThrashZone]

Yea well if you're going to hop up the voltage I'd also at the least hop up the fan speeds on corsair cooler
Might see way less than 80c.

You will not trust me the fans rev up on load that is the purpose of it having it set like that

There is no reason to ramp up fans just because i am not running torture test 24/7

My temps on a average don't go above 50c when gaming that is pretty much where most intel chips stay at anyway when gaming on Battlefield etc i am playing fallout4 that game is very demanding for my CPU to only hit 45-50c is a big time win and it means my cooling is doing it's job

Plus i am not using regular old fans i am using SPfans all around my set up and my Airflow is great

If you every build a Z170 you will see exactly what i mean everyone across the board will have the same results with Skylake that is just how it is and above all much more easier to overclock

 

[ThrashZone]

I trust you I was just wondering

Personally I like the balanced setting for the fans.
