Help with overclocking

[Ashton216]

Was trying to overclock my build for the first time on my 2700x but every time I would restart it would freeze before booting windows or it would get to windows but it would freak out

 

cpu: r7 2700x (working @3.8ghz)

mobo: ASUS Strix b450-f gaming

cooling: corsair h100i

ram: 16gb

Btw I tested going back to base clock, works fine

Are you overclocking the Cpu or the memory?

Seems like you didn’t done it properly. Reset the oc and start from scratch but make sure you watch some tutorials how to donit if you not sure

just decrease the overclock, try half of what you did previously and see if it works, if it looks like it does, let it run for 20min, if it still runs, try to stress test it to make sure it's stable, if it's stable, you can try increasing it, if not, decrease. Rinse repeat until you find a sweet spot for your CPU.

Ok I’ll tell you what happens

Cpu, I’m going to try and up the clock speed slower instead of pushing it this time

[Mira Yurizaki]

What voltage settings are you using?

 

I ran into BSODs when I was adjusting the voltage but didn't limit the clock speed, so every time the CPU went too high, it crashed the computer.

[Jurrunio]

that just means your overclock is not stable. Not all CPUs can run even a little bit faster than it does at stock

So you're doing a static overclock? (manual) 

 

Ehh, you won't beat out the SenseMi overclocking ability on that motherboard. 

 

So at 4.0 to 4.1ghz manually, you want a cpu v-core of 1.410v. 

4.2ghz looking around the 1.450-1.4750v range. (yes it gets hungry. All cores and threads active require more current) 

4.3ghz.... looking at qround 1.5-1.5250 v-core......

 

At least that's my experience with it.

 

However, if you want some tips and tricks tweaking the SenseMi technology, I can head you in the right direction.

I am using an automated setting for my mobo, however I think I solved the issue because there was a setting that was not supposed to be changed, thanks

After looking at a tutorial on YouTube, I was told that if you set a target clock speed, but keep the voltage on auto it will adjust fairly well on my mobo. I tried it and it seems to be working now, thanks.

Try performance enhancer level 2. Everything else on auto.

 

If you have SensiMi offset in tweakers paradise, you can set higher than 272 (default) which will increase all core and low level clocks. I change this setting to 290 and it seems to do pretty well. (do this seperately from performance enhancer all else on auto)

 

The max I can squeeze from my chip with v-core on auto is 4.1ghz static. Anything higher, must manually increase voltage.

Seems like you have a bad overcloker.

 

My 2700 non X can go 4GHz allcore @1.35V stable and even 4.1GHz, but that is slightly unstable.

 

Have you tweaked your LLC? Cause those voltages seem very high if you also have an agressive LLC

Nah.... high leakage. Which is good for my when I eventually LN the sob. 

 

LLC Auto, v-core auto, 4.1ghz 1.406v. On 2 different boards, same OC results.

Max clock 4.5ghz 1.58v, good enough for a validation. (core reduction)

All core OC stable Intel Burn test 4300mhz. 

Overclock did not change before or after the de-lid either.

You bothered to delid it?

How much did the temps change?

Yes. 

Temps hardly changed. Runs fine even still.... On the stock cooler.
