New to Forum - Would like some Advice/help

[mr.Rana]

Hi Guys!!

Hows things going? - i'm new the forums and I was wondering if I could get some advice from all you of you "much" experienced OC'ers. I have just recently built a new rig, primarily for semi to intensive video editing and graphic rendering - and the occasional gaming. The items I have;

PLEASE HELP! It would be much appreciated.

- Asus Sabertooth X79 MOBO

- 32gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

- Win 7 ultimate (64-bit) OS

- NZXT phantom 410 Full tower

- Asus GF GTX 580 graphics card/1536mb GDDR5

- Corsair H60 water CPU cooler thingy (should I get a H100 instead???)

- HX1050 PSU

- Intel i7 3930k 6C/12T CPU (sandy-bridge series)

- 2TB HDD

- 120gb SSD (windows only + drivers, but no programs)

I have done like a DIY OC to 4.50GHz (4500.00MHz - 100.00 x 45.0) and this is what I did;

Ai Overclock Tuner – Manual

BCLK Frequency – 100

CPU Clock Gen Filter – Enabled

Memory Frequency – 1600MHz

EPU Power Saving Mode – Disabled

OC Tuner – Left alone

DRAM Timing Control – 9-9-9-24-2

DIGI+ Power Control

- CPU Load-Line Calibration – Set to High

CPU Performance Settings

- CPU Ratio – 45

- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology – set this to Disabled

CPU Vcore Voltage – 1.325

CPU VCCSA – Left this at default

DRAM Voltage (CHA, CHB) – 1.5v

DRAM Voltage (CHC, CHD) – 1.5v

CPU PLL Voltage – 1.8v (i think it was stock, before it was on Auto)

VTTCPU Voltage – 1.3v

Once that was all done, I made it into Windows and performed some stress tests using linpack, and the residual norms came out the same. However at times when I boot, or odd times when under load, I here this weird sound? its not a clicking sound, but it sounds like plumbing?. I don't how to describe it but, you know when water is turned on and you hear this weird noise after the tap is turned off? kinda like pressure? but not pressure build up.

I know I might have some things too low or too high in the current tweaks, BUT PLEASE HELP! It would be much appreciated.

I also want to keep it at a safe OC so the Chips can have a good lifespan. Average temp at the moment are 49-52 at idle. Is that normal??

Kind Regards,

mr.Rana

The load noise is normal.I have the gigabyte x79-ud3 and this noise increase when i oc the 3930k.

You must have some very high load temps with the h60.I would get the h100 asap.

But i think you have your OC spot on.

You are welcome

It would be easier to help if you added a screenshot with cpu-z,gpu-z and temp like this

Hi there Kilobravo,

I have attached the screenshot, I hope every thing is running alright. Please let me know if there is anything that alerts your attention or needs changing. Lol I am going to get the H100 soon. Just gotta wait until the store opens and I need to check if it is compatible with my case haha

But thanks again.

Regards,
