Very frustrating problem with easytune 6 (OC help needed)

[WillSK]

Have you considered maybe you just need to edit your ET6 config profile then open ET6?

Even if it isn't ET6 as such, it sounds like you have an outdated profile or readings sheet floating around causing things to play up.

it's not even installed and i deleted the folder from the programmes folder to make sure

Just one note before i go. the bios is set to 1.33 vcore with LLC level 6. In windows i appear to be at 1.37-8 idle and 1.39 running prime. is this ok/normal??

i think ET6 is still controlling your volts, one you gain control, you should see ~ 1.332v on load

 

[WillSK]

But I don't have easy tune installed.. I've cleared the CMOS what should I do

lower the LLC maybe?

so has is your core clock 4.5ghz? if it isnt then you are still under influence sumhow.

in the bios you should have put your Vcore as = 1.33, LLC6

vcore should not be on auto! (if it is)

if you vcore is that high on load whats is it on idle?

 

[WillSK]

Clock is 4.5 and vote in bios is set to 1.33. With LLC level 6 I get 1.36 idle and 1.39 load. I have now changed it to LLC level 5 and am getting 1.35 idle 1.36 load

hmm you LLC is different to mine, decrease you LLC untill the idle and load vcore is as close as possible to the 1.33 vcore set.

Then get stress testing, i think it will be LLC 3/4 for you!

Ok i am officially the unluckiest overclocker ever.

Have set the LLC to level 4 and now i get the opposite problem. 1.33-1.34 idle (close to bios) and 1.32 under load... FML!!

 

[Firat]

Thats fine, its close enough, leave it at LLC 4 and stress test, if it fails increase your vcore!! your doing fine mate you have made it!!!

so remember leave LLC @ 4 all the time, only play with the vcore!

1.32 should be fine on load!

let me know hoe it goes

so from this you know know that whatever you setup in bios your load vcore will be .1less, so take that into account

i.e if you want 1.33 on load, set you bios to 1.34, its that simple.

dont give up, luck has nothing to do with this, be open minded, your limiting your overclock. if you open your mind, you will work to understand your rig better and get the results you want!

 

[WillSK]

Thank you so much I appreciate your help so much! I got 00x00124 bsod on 1.33 and 1.34 I'm trying 1.36 now so fingers crossed.

good luck!

Morning mate. Still no luck on 1.36 so bumping up by .005

you sure i should leave all the other voltages as is? and focus purely on the vcore?

Also I am using the corsair LP white that run at 1.35v. I have just set xps profile 1 and left everything on auto is that ok? when the pop up appeared saying "do i want to increase cpu performance" i selected no, is that right?

Yes only CPU vcore, that's how overclockong works with these CPUs.

As long as you memory is set correctly its fine

 

[WillSK]

great! thanks again for your help. can i ask what stress testing you recommend and how long between each bump increase of voltage. currently i'm using prime blend but in previous experience you can go 6 hours and then suddenly BSOD so it's a veeerrryyyyy long process

When I prime, I do it for at least 24hours as it better, as you are going to use it 24:7. 12 hours of primes is also good enough.

 

[WillSK]

say i end up at around 1.36-1.38 for 4.5ghz.. Is this considered a bad chip or pretty normal??

 

[Firat]

It probably is a not so good chip! Of it needs that many volts to do 4.5ghz. 1.36 is good but not 1.38

You

Might need to try 4.4ghz if it gets too high!

 

[WillSK]

So i figured as my 1.36 vcore still bsod. I may just be one of the unlicky ones who's chip isn't designed to go to 4.5 at a nice voltage so i'm going for 4.3 ghz. I currently have a stable 14 hours prime at 1.32 vcore load (going to try some gaming today).

Eventually i will see if i can lower this but to be honest my temps are mid 50s to 60 load and 32-35 idle so i don't see the urgency at the moment.

What do you think mate?

p.s thanks again for all your help through this you've been such a huge help, i defintely feel more comfortable overclocking now.

You have done very well! Yes some chips just don't clock high, or need more vcore.

You clock is very good, with low vcore and good temps, with 14hours of prime is perfect.

I'm glad I can help m8 enjoy!

That sounds like a great 24/7 clock, mate.
