i7 4770k OC problem

[GoncaloMoreno]

Hi,

 I recently bought a 4770k and a maximus VI gene and i started overclocking it.

 First i turned on full manual (vcore) on the bios and I was able to hit 4.3 with 1.28v but the voltage was fixed. So I turned into adpative on the bios and after many many tries, playing with the offset, i couldnt get the max voltage to be 1.28v so I let it on the lowest offset that i could, whitch turned out to make the max voltage 1.33v but I had voltage drops. Sometimes it droped from 1.33 to 1.23 stress testing with aida 64.

 Any solutions?

Her's a stupid question for you:  Did you disable the power saving and boost options?  They might be doing something silly.  Also, rather than playing with offsets you could try playing the LLC.

Solved, just started all over again and played more with adpative mode. Didnt need to play with load line calibration or disable power saving features. Got the voltages to be what i wanted.

Why not just manual? Adaptive doesn't really benefit anything. And why stress with Aida64? You will be thermally limited much faster. Just use X264 benchmark in a loop.

with manual my voltage is fixed while adpative lowers the voltage when you are doing nothing, improves cpu lifetime. what i did was i tested with manual and found out that i needed 1.28v for 4.3 and the i played with adapitve until the max voltage was that.

and how did you do that?

Im stable at  4.2GHz 1.179V, but in adaptive sometimes it goes to 1.27V for half a second and drops. What did you do?

you have to put manual mode and find the voltage for the stress test application,like aida 64 or prime 95, for me it was 1.28v @ 4.3ghz. then you have to put adpative mode and play with the offset until in a non sinthetic application, like cinebench, the max voltage is what you found in the manual mode. If you have adpative and you use a stress test application it will pull alot more voltage than in non sinthetic application.
