z87-gd65 overclock not taking voltage?

[hipoy]

Hi so im having a weird issue when i try to overclock im i54670k. so basically cpu z is not showing the voltage i set or something really crazy is going on. Here are some pictures to explain.

So here is cpuz when i use oc gene. As you can see the voltage says 1.2

no here it is when i try to do a oc myself and set it to 1.2. As you can see its 0.1

Now this is my first time doing this so here is a picture of the bios screen just in case im doing something wrong.

So do you guys have any ideas. I think it could be cpuz reading it wrong because i dont see how it could run at .1.

Thanks guys

Somethings wrong without a doubt but what worries me in that last picture is the 1.760v setting... That would kill any CPU under water or air.

Have you tried updating your bios?

Looks fine to me TBH. Overclocking on Haswell is different to previous generations guys.

Somethings wrong without a doubt but what worries me in that last picture is the 1.760v setting... That would kill any CPU under water or air.

The VCCIN on Haswell is 1.8v at stock. It's the "current CPU core voltage" that's important and it's at 1.080v which is easily comfortable.

Hipoy, the reason why you are reading at 0.1v or less is because your CPU is at idle. Haswell chips at idle draw almost no voltage. When you load the CPU you will see that the voltage will rise to close to what you have entered in BIOS.

The screenshot looks mostly fine but I do have some pointers:
1. Your "CPU Core Voltage" settings are good. Leave it on override, which is essentially manual (I've found that both offset and adaptive settings require more volts than necessary in comparison).
2. With the c states left enabled/auto your CPU will idle at negligible volts. This is normal and disabling the c states won't get you any better performance.
3. I'd suggest that you adjust your "CPU Ring Voltage" settings. Leave all of these settings on Auto until you have dialled in and stabilised your CPU core clock and voltage. Adjusting this early will over complicate your overclock for no performance benefit.
4. There is almost no benefit to matching the Ring clock to your Core clock. The bandwidth of the Ring is so great that it doesn't need to match your core clock. For any mid 4GHz core clock all you need to do (and only if you want to) is to set your Ring multiplier to 40x and be done with it. No need to adjust ring voltages or any other settings.

Also - there's no need to play with other motherboard settings such as the LLC. The CPU handles the voltage internally and therefore this makes no difference to everyday overclocking.

You need to follow our guide - its C1E or speedstep still on - youve just not set it up properly.

Why did no one post links.........?

You need to read TTL's overclocking guide first, it will explain important details like why 1.3V is better and why 1.4V is the mark you shouldn't really go over if you want to overclock the correct way.

You could start with a 4.0Ghz overclock, work on finding a stable Vcore, stress test with OCCT for at least 1 hour to have a fair idea of if its stable or not.

Don't forget to go into OCCT settings and change all the 85s to 80s, and set your ram to 1600Mhz.

And don't rush it. ^_^
