Remember300 gets a K

[remember300]

Ive been on here a while and sadly up until now, i have have had a non K i7 which i had over clocked to approximately 4.1Mhz.

So i thought id do a little thread for people to leave tips or advice.
I will first be doing what TTL mentioned in his video seeing how little power i need to get the base clock with the turbo ontop.

The only thing that worries me a little right now is the hug difference between each core...

I will add to this once i have the min V for base clock and i will check temps

Also i have been advised to do linpack with AVX not the first test so i made my first booboo lol

Have you checked on HWmonitor?

Tried reseating the cooler?

Temps wide OCCT can be inaccurate at times. With newer chips it is unbelievably wrong, especially with Skylake.

Use hardware monitor for temps.

If HW montitor says the same thing try reseating the cooler like tom said.

Can just be the cpu too, lets not forget the whole delid situation and why it started.

Indeed, the 3770K was the exact reason why it did start. It was the first CPU to use TIM to connect the DIE and the IHS.

I started getting HW along with it too.

After finding intel stepping was pushing the volts up i turned that off and just sett the multi to 39 and the bclk to 100 so it would be the same as turbo.

1.1V

1.05V

1.025V

1.01V

I know i could be pushing to get higher numbers but i am pleased to see this is a better chip at 3.9 than my non k

 

[tinytomlogan]

Intel stepping?

That certainly doesnt push your volts up fella

 

[remember300]

It was pushing me back up to 1.2V
since turning it off it has allowed me to go below 1.2V

It is great to see you getting it to such low volts. I really hope you can get this thing clocked high with enough time.

What setting did you disable exactly? Intel Stepping isn't that specific?

 

[remember300]

Yeah I found to get really low volts Stepping was adding a little more volts, which I could see was its job to keep the thing stable but by dropping that and having LLC at higher rather than extreme, allowed me to get such low volts

From there I started pushing the clock up, for S&G I tried running 4Mhz at 1V I got into windows but when starting OCCT once the memory load got to 50% I was greated with my first BSOD.

So I went back into the BIOS and added 0.02V which did not help so I added another 0.2V. This then allowed a 20min OCCT run (linpack with AVX) not including idle periods. Then 2 Firestrike's runs and a cine bench run. This is what I took to be my general runs.

My 4.2 Mhz run

Then 4.3

I forgot to take screenies but chasing a higher clock meant many more volts. I am now sitting at 4.6Mhz at 2.23V.
Although with LLC and Intel stepping they have pushed up the Volts.

I would of pushed for more but I only have low RPM fans so I'm getting high temps if and when I can put it underwater who knows i might get 4.7 heres hoping.

I think you mean 1.23v :lol: Good work so far dude.

 

[Tolemac]

Nice work happy benching

 

[remember300]

Yeah was a typo sorry lol

And thankies!

Now just need better cooling or higher airflow fans.
