i5 3570k random crashing

[tomahawkRiS3]

I have a i5 3570k on a gigabyte ud3h z77x mother board that I overclocked to 4.4ghz

I have put in memory timings, set LLC to extreme and all other things that the OC3D OC for a 1155 gigabyte motherboard said to do.

I have it at 1.2v and it was stable for 45min+ on OCCT with temps being highest at 71C.

But randomly on chrome or during very low intensity games the programs will crash. The computer won't blue screen but the programs will.

Anyone have a solution?

Just to be clear you did not put the exact same settings in that Tom did in the video correct?

Yes I found my own timings. My ram is 9-9-9-24 and its 1.5v. For my cpu I started at stock volts of 1.15 and it was stable up to 4.2ghz. So I'm pretty sure 1.2v is more than stable for 4.4ghz. Should I turn down the timings on the ram to see if that helps?

1600mhz ram i take it? Since 95% of CL9 timings are for 1600mhz?
Keep ram at stock. Thats fine. 1600mhz will work on any cpu since they all natively support it.

4.2 to 4.4 is quite a jump in volts. Takes very little to change so much. Try going up in 100mhz jumps, e.g 4.2 to 4.3 to 4.4 etc.
Once you can not get into windows then jump back to the previous one that did. test it and see what the results are(meaning stable or not). If it survives 8 hours in OCCT with AVX then it is considered stable. If it fails before 8 hours then up the volts .005 increments. After you find a clock you are satisfied with then test it for 12hours. If you plan on running your CPU overclocked 24/7 then i highly recommend a minimum of 12hours.

thank you very much

Please report back if everything works out okay or if you need more help

Don't be so sure. I can do 4.2GHz on 1.1v but 4.4GHz requires 1.27v.

Every CPU is different...

Exactly what I mean by "don't be so sure"

I put my clocks and volts just to show how much I need for that extra 200MHz from 4.2GHz. Some need more some need less, the whole world knows this.

How can you be more than sure when youve never done this before?

Youve basically just made an uneducated guess. The idea is to test........

 

[tomahawkRiS3]

i ran OCCT overnight for a little over 10hours with absolutely no problems. i have to leave for an hour or two but ill try it out this afternoon to see if the crashing has stopped.

AVX was enabled correct? If not then that test was a waste of time due to it not being that stressful.

What exactly was stable? What was the clock,volts,LLC, etc?

 

[tomahawkRiS3]

what do you mean by avx?... i had 64bit... crap. and i was 4.4ghz 1.2v extreme LLC

what do you mean by avx?... i had 64bit... sh*t. and i was 4.4ghz 1.2v extreme LLC

Could have at least answered the question after slamming down the rule book?

AVX is just a little box that needs ticking. Tick it but beware it will literally load the system to its limits. Temps will be far higher and the test more stressful. Also how could you not have known to tick AVX? You watched Toms vid? He says so in that vid as well.

AVX and 64bit are different.
