  1. Ok. I've got a stable 10 minutes out of my 4,5ghz @1.35V run before I ended the test and tried ramping the clockspeed up to 4.6ghz. But even @ 1,4V 4,6ghz just doesn't get stable. I am running a longer stability test right now with these settings @4,5ghz: Picture I will edit this post with my results. Again thanks for all the input fellas! I really appreciate it. Results: ______________________________________________________
  2. I've set the uncore ratio to 3.5ghz but couldn't find the uncore voltage. And I also set the clockspeed of the CPU to 4.4ghz and 1.325V. Under load the CPU still barely reaches 65°C. Stresstesting right now.
  3. I have the voltage in the bios set to 1.3V and cpu-z displays 1.299V. So I guess it's fine. And I don't really know why, but for some reason, when overclocking I can't get stable above 4.2ghz. Do I need to ramp up the voltage even further? Because heat output isn't a problem at all. Under load with 1.3V my CPU hover around 70°C... so there's that.
  4. Ok. I've managed to get a 4.2ghz running with 1.25V on the CPU. I've been running Aida64 for about 19h now and had no crash. All I really did was flash my bios and fiddle around a little bit more than usual with the voltage. But I'm pretty satisfied. It's not what I had, but I blame the deterioration of my power supply and or CPU. I will be upgrading my build soon with 2133mhz 8gb Ram and a Corsair RM750 PSU. And then early 2015 I will probable go for 1 or 2 GTX 970s. Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate this community
  5. Can anyone tell me if this is normal: Picture The ram frenquenzy seems to be a bit on the low side? Or is this normal?
  6. I've just checked the Gigabyte website for any recent bios updates. And they release a new version in late August this year. I'm running on the new bio right now on 4.4ghz and 1.3V with intel turbo boost disabled. And so far it looks stable.. (aida for 25min now... it crashed after like 2min running aida before the bios flash) I will report back with more results.
  7. Hey guys. It's me once again with a little bit of a problem . I'm having trouble overclocking my i5 4670k. I've bought the cpu a couple month ago and at that time I was able to get a stable 4.4ghz (3.4ghz stock) out of it. Which was great, cause it resulted in a pretty solid performance boost for both BF4 and Skyrim. But then for a while I wasn't really gaming that much and to relieve some pressure from the CPU I undid the overclock for the time being. But now I tried to get the 4.4ghz back, cause I'm currently doing some more gaming again and some content creation. But even on 4ghz my System will eventually freeze during AIDA stability testing. And I haven't changed and specs of the system. Specs: Mainboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K Ram: 8gb 1333mhz Teamgroup (2x 4gb dim) Graphics: R9 280X Power: Cooler Master 650W Modular I have ruled out temp problems, I was monitoring my CPU temps very closely during stress testing and CPU temps didn't rise above 70°C (158° fahrenheit). I'm using a Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler and all Noctua NF-F12 fans in my Case: Picture I've tried a 4.4ghz overclock with 1.3V. But couldn't get it running. I was wondering if perhaps my powersupply or my ram could limited the overclock. The power supply and the ram is from a former system of mine and they are both 4+ years old. And I definately changed the connections of my power supply since I last overclocked. Could it be a problem, that the cpu doesn't get enough amperage?
  8. Hey guys. I'm thinking about building a very compact little machine with high-end components. And I've laid my eyes on the BitFenix Phenom Mini-ITX. I know from several sources that it's possible to fit a 240mm rad in the top. Even in push-pull if I so desire. But my question is: If I remove all drivecages and the "fake" 5.25" bay, would it be possible to mount another 240mm rad in the front? I can't seem to find any information on that. Maybe someone here already did it? I'd appreciate any kind of input from you guys View of the front interior: Click
  9. Right now I have a 650W from Cooler Master. And I would have gotten a 850W maybe also from Cooler Master. Maybe from Corsair. If I had gone with the Crossfire solution. But I think I will get the GTX 970. It's just more future-proof and with the pricing I should have a bit money to spare to finish my sleevin project in my Pc
  10. Also true. It's basically two ways I could go now: A: Go for the raw performance NOW and crossfire two r9 280x B: Go for the saver GTX 970 (future wise) and settle with not "as much" performance boost And I'm also not really sold on the R9 290x. High temps + power consumption
  11. Yeah just what I thought basically. The best bang per buck should be the crossfire solution right now. I'd also like to ramp up the res-scale. Basically I'm just trying to get the smoothest gameplay performance I can possibly get. That would include nice and sharp edges. I myself had the best experience with the game capped to 120fps with 120hz strobed with strobelight and v-sync forced through CCC.
  12. Hey guys. First time for me posting in this forum but I have been a long-time lurker on the LinusTechTips and NCIS Tech Tips youtube channel. I'm a college student from Germany. So please ignore any kind of weird sentences or spelling mistakes I was wandering if you guys could give me some advice or put some convincing arguments on the table which graphics card I should get. Current graphics card: R9 280X Sapphire Vapor-X (custom cooled with the "Alpenfön Peter II") 14.4 catalyst drivers Current CPU: i5 4670k Ram: 8gb 1300 DDR3 Option A: R9 290X Option B: GTX 970 Option C: Another R9 280x for Crossfire Games I play: Mainly Battlefield 4 Monitor: BenQ Xl2411T (so I'm trying to reach 144 fps or 120fps (together with strobelight) The concerns I have in mind: Despite the raw performance boost the GTX 970 brings in comparison to the R9 290X, having Mantle in mind I'm not really convinced that it will actually perform better in BF4 I would have to upgrade my PSU if I'd crossfired two 280x (although pricing for one 280x + psu is almost the same as getting one of the other cards) R9 280X uses GCN 1.0 and GCN 1.1 on the R9 290X should perform better on mantle (would that be enough to run BF4 on ultra no AA no HBAO on constant 120fps?) The main reason I'd like to upgrade my R9 280X is that although I can run BF4 almost stable on 120fps (on Ultra Textures / Filtering and the rest on low / off) I'd like to ramp up the graphics a little higher while still remaining with a stable 120fps for smooth gameplay. I'd really appeciate any kind of input from you guys and I hope some of you have similar systems or experience with BF4s' Mantle performance.
