:/ help? 7850k overlcocking.

[HarborTekDan]

Hey there!

 

AMD 7850k

4x4gb G.Skill Snipers 1.6v 2133

corsair h105 with SP fans in push

 

So this is what I am running.^^^^^ The photo is my bios at default.

I need to overclock my ram an apu, i have never done it before and i keep running into crashes

also is 43c normal? that seems 5c hotter then normal for idle..... 

Can you guys help me out?

what do you want to overclock? your cpu or your ram?

[HarborTekDan]

well the mobo has the ram running at 1600 1.5v but the ram is meant to run at 2133 1.6v 

I want to overclock the CPU

I'd start by going to 900mhz on gpu before anything. report back and see what happens, and set ram to native speed

mmkay, keep the voltage the same?

[harrynowl]

mmkay, keep the voltage the same?

on the apu yes, set ram to 1.65v

[HarborTekDan]

okay brb

[HarborTekDan]

on the apu yes, set ram to 1.65v

so to make things simple i did them in two steps. I set the GPU to 900mhz

ran GRID 2's benchmark. average fps went from 15 to 17

then i went an set my ram to 1.65v an its native speed 2133

opened up GRID 2 then it crashed. 

So I set the ram back to 1.5v and 1600

the GPU is still at 900mhz an stable

[HarborTekDan]

I plan on adjusting GRID's settings to a playable FPS later.

take out one of the stick of RAM and see what is the suggested RAM timing and voltage to run

 

slowly move up to 1866MHz and see if the system is stable

 

btw what mobo you are using?

 

 

it will be wise to get the latest BIOS

[HarborTekDan]

the ram is labeled

1.6v 

Timing 11-11-11-30 

2133
 

my mobo

weird

 

you are on the latest BIOS which is F6

 

 

 

ok will suggest bumping to 1.55V and then 1866MHz 10-10-10-29 

[HarborTekDan]

so i set my ram to your suggestion

it is stable and gained 2fps in grid 2

good

 

now from here slowly bump up the speed to 1900+ or 2000MHz with the same timings as before

 

but what resolution you are using actually?

 

have you try with 1080P Low? or 720P High?

so a couple hours later my computer blue screened. I had like 4 twitch streams open in chrome an nothing else running,

so a couple hours later my computer blue screened. I had like 4 twitch streams open in chrome an nothing else running,

noticed you got 4 sticks of RAM

 

can you run with just 2 sticks instead?

 

google chrome is a memory hog 

 

how about reducing the number of streams?
