7950 bad fps

You need to run it for hours, not for 10 minutes. Bump the volts ang up the volts, you seem to have good cooling so don't worry. Then run it all day with prime... or till it crashes. If it crashes up the volts a bit more till stable. Come on brother, you can do it.

it ran stable for a few minutes now, it's just that when i hit Test6 the Voltage starts to wobble between 1.45 and 1.44

the cpu fan is the noctua nf-p12 pwm. it's capable of running at 1300rpm but it only went up to ~900rpm. need to figure out how to change that for better temps.

 

[SeekaX]

crash after 15 minutes.

 

[dragoonk]

Set the LLC to Enabled and stress test!

 

[SeekaX]

no need. set the voltage a little bit higher, i have no voltage wobble anymore while stress testing, it passed all 12 tests without problems so far.

Ok, just make sure you get a better PSU next time you decide to order something.

 

[SeekaX]

this is just unfortunate. i will get a new PSU as soon as i get a new CPU which will happen in about 4 months.

I have read every single post this is really educational, had a PC repair man come to my house and he found it was my i7 3770k was my issue plus some infected files so on Monday I should be getting a new i7 3770k on my old one I only got 4.5GHz at 1.35volts I'm hoping the one coming on Monday i will be able to get a higher clock on it. Sounds like your having a lovely time with your CPU ha it takes ages it took me like 4days in total to have a stable clock good luck my friend you can do it

 

[dragoonk]

Try different combinations between the multiplier, the FSB and the voltage... I'd just leave the FSB alone for now and try the multiplier... see how far I would go stable... your call though.

i know that fsb 230mhz multiplier 18 1.45V is stable. my settings are fsb 230mhz multiplier 19 1.48V. i don't know if it was just a coincidence that one thread died.

meh who cares if this cpu doesnt work properly. atm it's just for educational purposes as well, i don't plan on keeping this cpu for too long

i'd actually like to get a 230mhz fsb 20x multiplier stable, but i guess that's out of the realm of possibilities atm

How do you know that 230 FSB and 18 Multi is stable? And threads don't die if there isn't a reason for them to die... If it doesn't bluescreen, it gives an error.. that's as unstable OC as a bluescreen, it means it's not doing things properly.

Well like I said, PATIENCE!!

i know it's stable because that was the auto overclock and because that one survived prime95 for an hour.

 

[SeekaX]

i will run prime95 again. if the worker stops again i will try enabling LLC

 

[SeekaX]

alright this time it died even earlier, i will try LLC.

 

[SeekaX]

now it actually pushes to 1.5V under load. will need lower the voltage a little. 1.47 really should be enough

 

[SeekaX]

12 tests successful. 1.46V under load. i will let it run for an hour or so

You have to take your time I overclocked my CPU at 4.7GHz I did a prime95 test 8hours in it failed so you really do have to test it for a while not just 10mins or an hour.
