4770K Overclocking issues (Keep getting BSODS)

[Akerhage]

yeah, I also dont think its the coolers issue here, the temps are all good. And its a new build, so dont want to buy new stuff and just throw away my rig = )

 

[TheOuterOne]

Personally, I'd still try a H100i, give it a go. ^_^

Barnsley already stated that the temperature difference isn't very big. Also, it's not the temperatures that limit the CPU from a higher OC..

 

[CrazyTeeka]

No they didnt, I talked to Intel support (chat). So no way to get a RMA there.

But if someone can find anything useful Ill gladly take tips.
Btw: Tryed now just to be sure; 1.33v @ 4.4 caused Bsod after 5min in x264.

What do you guys think of voltage? Can I crank it up more then 1.3 on air if having temps under 80 while stress testing?

And there is a huge difference in stress testing programs, OCCT gave me higher values, same with prime.

Is it stable on 4.0Ghz @ 1.3v - because i'm interested?

 

[Akerhage]

Yeah, that would be stable no doubt
havent tryed it though, so cant say for sure. But it would be. My 4.3Ghz Bsods when playing Gw2, it bsods maybe once per hour in general.

Could you try it. ^_^

 

[TheOuterOne]

Could you try it. ^_^

There's no point in doing so..

 

[Akerhage]

How do you want me to try it? I could give you some runs with it in x264, but as mentioned, no point for me. But if you want I can do that for you. If you tell me why? =)

 

[CrazyTeeka]

I guess, I was only interested if it was stable at that. ^_^

Why? I was just interested if it was stable with x264 or OCCT or GW2. ^_^

But its up to you, I can only ask.

First I need to try to get it stable at 4.3, but maybe I can try that tomorrow. The thing is that I think 4.3Ghz is stable in x264 but not in Gw2. So dont know how to rely on the stresstests. But I like x264 because it keeps nice temps while stressing.

btw, again, any inputs about how high vcore I can have 24/7?
With CStates on, all idle vcore drops to very minimal values.(0.01v-0.1v)

I say 1.3V for 24/7, that is what I am happy with.

The RoG website says - CPU Core Voltage up to a maximum of (we recommend) 1.3V for high-end coolers and water cooling. Beyond this requires serious water cooling setups with large cooling capacities.

Do you have the latest bios for your board?

Hopefully, others have some input too?

Yeah. That's also why I have 1.3 as maximum. Yes latest BIOS to.
One thing I can do is buy Intel tuning plan for 25$ and then just oc this piece of Shit until damage. And get a new one back.

 

[ObscureParadox]

Hmm, for me personally the temps seem to be way too high. I was running 4.5GHz with 1.3V on my 4770K with a H100 and I don't remember the temps ever even reaching 80c under any sort of load. One of the problems you have with overclocking here is that your CPU is getting way too hot. I would not be comfortable seeing my CPU hit 88c and I would look to see what the fan settings are set at in BIOS and if they are all fine, I would go about remounting the cooler.

P.S. Under no circumstances would a 4.7GHz 2500K be faster than a 4.3GHz Haswell just so you know.

 

[Akerhage]

I really haven't seen high temps like that with other stress testers. But maybe I will try to reapply thermal paste and se if that makes difference.

I used to get those Temps so it seems consistant with my old cpu. Also used a H100 myself.

 

[Akerhage]

I will use the same thermal paste. The Arctic silver 5. Is the best way a peasize dot and let the cooler do it's magic when pressing.?

Yeah, I've never had a problem with that method personally. I believe Tom and the majority of the forum do it that way as well.

Intel Tuning Plan sounds like a good idea to me. ^_^

1.52V is the max Vcore the CPU can handle according to Intel, last time I checked. With a Gene-Z the only risk is killing the CPU, board can handle it.

 

[ObscureParadox]

Just brought my 4770K back out of my box of goodies to give it a go and I never once got to 70c when stress testing with XTU using my H100 to cool the CPU. So either I have a very cool CPU, the OPs CPU mount is poor or he has a very hot CPU. I would be more willing to believe the mounting issue as there isn't a chance in hell that the cooler difference accounts for a 20c core temperature variance. Also I was running with the CPU core at 1.33V and I'm running 200MHz faster than the OP so if anything I should be running hotter.
