4960X OC

[mrbulle]

Hi,

I've got av 24/7 OC 4,6Ghz @ 1.305vcore on my 4960x. Works beautiful, But i get 5Ghz att 1.420vcore with a max temp att 77C under stressTest after 4 hours... But IS this a stupid voltage or is it ok cause temp isn't that high.. or?.. in game playing its up to 70C on one of the cores, lower on the rest. The 5.0 Ghz profile will mostly be for some benchmark stuff anyway.. so not a 24/7 OC..  any comments ?

The temps seem fine, I dont know about the voltage though. Why don't you go to like 4.7ghz or something and keep the voltage lower?

1.420 is quite alot of voltage, but for some bencharks and such it shouldnt be much of a problem, id go with as high as an OC i can get on 1.35 V.

 

temps arent a problem but voltages are, if you want to really push it, see how it handles 1.45 but i wouldnt do that for to long (only for a 30 min - 2 hour benchmark)

This generally annoys me quite a bit, when people compare mainstream Intel's to x79...

Honestly if the temps are in check you should be fine to pump up the voltage up to around 1.45 - 1.47 as a 24/7 OC.

THat 5ghz oc sounds good for cinebench r15 and superpi 1m and 32m, you could also try hwprime as well.

how can i trust someone who calls him "never listen to me" LOL.. but a correction, i get 4,6 att 1.315volts.. also 4.8 att 1.365.. but i just love the 5ghz mark and i will mostly  do gpu benchmarks with the 5Ghz OC.. 

i've done alot with ive-bridge and Haswell but this is my first 2011 platform so i was hoping for someone who has, and have had it for a bit to comment on the voltage thing.. all google i've done says like until 1,4 on the 24/7 OC but 

really the until 2 hours of benchmarking with gpu's, i kinda thought a little more volts wouldnt kill hurt it.. but thats why i'd like some comments and thoughts about it..

 

thanks for answers so far

God.. 5GHz 1.42V gimme that.

Imo, unless you're running an FX-9000 series CPU, you should try to stay below 1.35V. 

 

Also, what are you cooling this CPU with? 

[mrbulle]

watercooling ... EK supremacy.. 360 radiator....

I wouldn't recommend anything over 1.45, I've seen heavy degrading above 1.45. And slow degrading at 1.4+.  My chip has been to 1.55v+ a few times for 5ghz, which played a part in degrading as well.

 

My chip's already degraded .04-.05 volts for basically everything over 4.5-4.6 lol
