i7 4770k overclocking problem!

[Whiskers]

The guy from the shopw ho helped me build it flicked all the switches on, god damn slow mode was on on the oc panel

Glad you finally got it sorted

 

[Harishanim]

tears of joy!

temp is too high though, its going upto 72c

 

[outlawII]

72 at idle or under load? Try and back your volts down to 1.25 or lower until u bluscreen or freeze up while running real bench

 

[Harishanim]

Idle and under load . . . Ok idle

 

[outlawII]

It's 72 at idle? 72 under load is ok not at idle

 

[Harishanim]

Yeah sorry, it was actually 38 at idle i dunno the first run got my comp excited or smthn , hey instead of pushing the volts lower can i like give 44 or 45 a shot?

 

[outlawII]

Yep set it to 45 and try and boot at 1.26 if it boots run a couple tests!!

 

[Harishanim]

Nope, bsod there! Whaaat about 1.28?

 

[outlawII]

Try and go 1 at a time so try 1.27 and so on too much voltage can have the same effect

 

[Harishanim]

Ok im going 1 by 1 , ok 1.27 and 1.28 gave bsods but 1.29 just restarted the comp , should i go somewhere between 1.28 and 1.29?

 

[Harishanim]

And is there anything to change in the cache ratio? Its at 36

Now it works, maybe try following Toms overclocking video again, or Linus' that you were following originally

 

[Harishanim]

Yup ill do that, ill go sleep now its 2 am and thanks a ton guys, especially outlawII and whiskers u guy helped me out so much this is the best forum ive experienced so far , again thanks to everyone who helped me and also to TTL who has the best site, keep rocking everybody!

 

[Harishanim]

thanks again guys, finally got it to crack upto 4.4GHz at 1.27v i dunno why it wont go any higher though! any help there?

 

[unknownuser200]

ill be viewing this guide myself. I did a quick trial and error and got 4.5 ghz on 1.2 volts on a whim with temps around 60. curious to see how you make out

Silicon lottery. Some CPU need a stupid amount of volts to get to 4.5.

My 3570k needed 1.3 just to get 4.4Ghz. I'd say be happy with what you managed. Temperature should be decent with 1.27 @ 4.4.

 

[Harishanim]

I was thinking as the 890MHz problem got solved may be i can do a cmos reset and start clean

I'd probably recommend doing that, then try following a guide to help get the most out of your chip.

That was very rude - be patient. You are paying no money for the help you have got here.
