Post Your Overclock!

[smarteyeball]

Thanks Patrick, indeed I bumped the Vcore to 1.575 and its using 1.522 and I have it running at 4.2 GHZ, if now I can make it stable. At these setting RAM is back up to 1600MHz which is stock, at 7-8-7-24T. This snip is with Photoshop X64 running.

You're welcome mate. Just double check that vcore doesn't exceed that chips max volt spec (don't know of the top of my head).

And Daves right, loosen the RAM and you might be able to lower that vcore. Then you can re-tighten timings.

Aham,thanks for the answer smartey !

No problem

I've also scrapped the 2011 build - just don't need the power. (And I got impatient )

Instead I'm just going with 1155. I just ordered a ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Gen3 +2500K to play with until the ivy chip/revisions are released.

Hello, it's me again. But now I have bigger cpu freq.

I have oc'd my cpu at 3.2GHz and also underclocked my ram for a bit. Thanks to Dave76 for the advice about that.

Temps are good also again. I'm suprised about this...

Good job StalkeR. Very nice overclock.

 

[Britton30]

I'm running it at 3.9GHz and have it stalilized. I ran Prime for nearlt two hours and Intel burn on standard, high and very high and passed.
I raised the NB volts and lowered the CPU NB VID.
RAM is still stock at 1600MHz and 7-8-7.

Very nice!
I was pretty sure with a bit of time, 3.2Ghz wouldn't be that hard to get with that chip

Nice OC

Thanks Steve and Boshko. Good job on your as well Boshko.
Now trying to get my RAM up to better speed. This is a slight improvement, but has been over 23,000 MB/s

Glad to see you got it stable, it's not uncommon to have stability issues at XGHz and then be stable at X.2GHz, with lower temps.
Then sometimes you just hit a wall, and can't go beyond.

Enjoy your OC

Thanks Steve and Boshko. Good job on your as well Boshko.

Nice OC, you might try tightening the RAM timings a little, see if it will run stable.
That should help.

Thanks Dave !

I have it at spec, 7-8-7-24T, at 9-9-9 it is much slower. Any tighter than a CL 7, it won't boot. I have hit a wall with the CPU, 4.3GHz, the FSB wall at 310.

 

[Dave76]

What is the RAM frequency with the FSB at 310?
You mentioned it was at 1600MHz, did you adjust it after the FSB bump?
What are the DRAM, NB, CPU/NB, voltages?
What is the 'Command Rate' set at?

Looks like you have 2X4GB and 2X2GB RAM installed, do they have the same specs?
Same brand and part numbers?

Hi Dave, see
http://www.sevenforums.com/overclocking-case-mods/196379-ram-settings.html#post1650105
..and thanks!

 

[StalkeR]

CPU Freq. is now a bit higher and RAM is almoust as stock freq. 808MHz.



After 5 min of quick test the temperatures/voltages.

 

[essenbe]

Nice job Stalker. It looks like you have done a great job. Just for curiosity, look at your voltages, the +12V and +5V. If the +12V was correct you couldn't boot. It does the same on mine. Just wondering why.

 

[Britton30]

Great Boshko! I get different votl readings in Core Temp than CPU-Z too. Must be where they are getting the readings from. Give Speccy a shot to see what it says. Speccy - System Information - Free Download

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks guys ! I'll use CoreTemp and Speccy later, because I'm now on Linux and will give a shoot.

Edit:

I'm back now. I was running AIDA64 System Stability Test for 47 min and here are the results.

 

[Britton30]

Well done Bosko, and very low volts too.

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks Britton ! And yes, volts are pretty good.

 

[StalkeR]

Hey it's me again. I think that this is pretty good oc with stock cooling.



And after a quick AIDA Stress Test..
