Bad i5 3570k

[Cratorboy]

I cant get 4.5ghz with even 1.35v =.= . Anyone else with a worse chip?

continued from similar thread -> http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=52997

 

[airdeano]

tried 1.45v? or does the heat get too out of range?
you still running the ud3 board?

 

[Cratorboy]

ya. still running ud3h. No matter how I try the board requires 1.3v+ for 4.4 and 1.36+ for 4.5. Not trying to compare but everyone can get 4.5ghz at such a lower voltage

 

[airdeano]

lemme ask this.. do they have the same motherboard, too?
not banging you mobo choice, but some just don't have the phase capacity to do
high clocks.. or it could be just the chip as an issue. and as an entry level starter
it may be what is holding you back.
last question would be, you are on the latest BIOS (UEFI) update? F18?
and there are two UD3H boards REV 1.0 and REV 1.1

here is a sample of an OC I had done for a client on a UD5H F12 BIOS:
CPU Ratio: 45
Vcore: 1.26 volts
PLL: 1.600 Volts
Turbo Power Limit: 300 Volts
Core Current Limit: 200 Amps
LLC: Turbo

I have a gigabyte z77x-ud3h (rev 1.1) currently Bios is at version: f19e. From what I read, gigabyte boards are one of the best for overclocking.

 

[airdeano]

ahh the beta BIOS.

the best is anyones guess.. they all do the same thing, but in varying degrees of
competence and completion. just hadn't heard a lot of 5.0GHz+ overclocks on the
UD3.. power phase isn't as stout which makes power management tougher. but i
have read some 4.7 clocks on the UD3, but on h2o cooling..

did try my sample and retest with load temps?

 

[Cratorboy]

With that core clock and voltage. It get stuck at the logo screen, cannot boot into windows, cannot go into Bios

Hmm. I don't know if this will help but I figured it might...

I was overclocking my Xeon last week (MSI Z77a G45) and on one bios I could get my FSB to 106. I updated to a newer bios and I couldn't even get 103 out of the fsb before it simply refused to even post.

I would try some different bioses. I've made sure to tell MSI to put the version on that worked properly with my CPU.

Thanks, ya I tried reverting back to older versions. Still takes the same amount of vcore, etc.

Well that sucks man

99% of time the limitation is the user. After that its the CPU.

That boards fine in the right hands with the right CPU.

I'm sorry but I followed step by step from the guide. Please take back this irrelevant claim.

It's usually worth posting screenshots of your BIOS so that we can have a look and put some tweaks in to see what else can be squeezed out. We'll need screenshots of everything though to make sure nothing has been missed. There's quite a few settings which are hidden away and can make a difference.

I assume that you are using 4.4GHz? That's still a fine overclock. Many people are ar or around that with aftermarket air cooling.

 

[Cratorboy]

thanks ill try to get bios s.s up soon. I tried 4.4ghz and I seem to need a minimum voltage of 1.3v. currently I just kept it at stock 3.8ghz with 1.045v and 1.4pll.

 

[Liarma]

I feel your pain man. My 2600K needs 1.3V to do 4.4GHz then around 1.39-1.4V to do 4.6GHz. I've spent days trying to fine tune it to no avail. Looks like we just don't have very good chips man :/

 

[Cratorboy]

Here are my settings for 4.3ghz. If you see anything wrong tell me ;D thanks.

 

[Luumi]

Don't worry mate. My friend's 3770k can only do 4.5 with 1.4v . I called it the worst z77 chip I've seen and he was mad I can tell you. If your temps can hold it you can increase the voltage to 1.45 for 24/7 use, since Ivy bridge is actually very resilient cpu in terms of voltage compared to previous generation cpus.

as per the guide (video - 24:00 explaination):
Intel Turbo Boost is ENABLE
Turbo ratio #1 Core is X (multiplier)
Turbo ratio #2 Core is X (multiplier)
Turbo ratio #3 Core is X (multiplier)
Turbo ratio #4 Core is X (multiplier)

Turbo Power Limit is raised to 1200
Core Current Limit is 300

almost step-by-step

1. How bored are you?
2. It is different. It was posted after my previous comment
3. Why? Because I wanted to pinpoint possible errors. How? Disabling something that is not entirely necessary.

^ you ask for help, and when someone points out a possible problem you start saying stuff like that? dude.. come on
