i7-3770k Overclocking.

[physX]

I am not new at overclocking.
But i am making this topic to get some idea for the best clocks for a i7-3770k
I have the TITANS in 2-way SLI.

To avoid bottleneck i think i should overclock the CPU.
I was thinking for 4.5GHz-4.8GHz

(Don't worry for the temps i have the h100i Push Pull Performance configured)

For the voltage i would say from 1.375 to 1.425. Yeah i am thinking i'm pushing it too far.

Give me some clock and voltage ideas.

I'm at 4.3 Ghz currently running it at 1.2v :) You can start from there and then move up to 4.5, but every chip is different tbh so I don't know if you'll get a stable chip at those settings or not.

SLI titans ftw! Yea try and pump them ghz as much as possible. 1.425 volts is a lot of volts though, don't push it too far. I say try and hit 4.6-4.7 ghz, see how much vcore you have to give it and go from there. Personally, I wouldn't let the CPU hit 80c under prime95, but some people say 80-85 is ok. I would rather sacrifice speed a bit for sub 80c temps.

If you got a sick chip, 4.8 is attainable.

1.375 VOLTS with 4.7 GHZ is kinda nice if you can get it stable.

I am at 4.0GHz 1.15V right now Stable 36 hours Prime95

Looking you got a reasonably good chip , you might be able to do 1.345 Volt with 4.5-4.7 GHZ

I will jump at 4.4 at 1.25V and then i will go for 4.6GHz at 1.4 . THis will be the max i think.

For the cooling my 36 hours of Prime95 4ghz and 1.15V    the third core hitted the max of 59

I dont know . I;m thinking for 1.375 V at that clock. 1.4 maybe.

[LIGISTX]

I was about to say try 4.4 @ 1.25v. Try it, if it's stable, up the clock till you loose stability. Then up vcore and start over.

Less volts are always bettter first try 1.345 then go higher

[physX]

OK guys i'll first try 4.4GHz at 1.25V then 4.6GHz 1.35.If there is stability issue, i will high the VCORE. If there are higher temps i will low the VCORE until it is stable. Thank you guys that you gave me some ideas for my CPU.

Yes and than i will jump at 4.6GHz at 1.35 if it is stable.

It's all about testing and repeating testing at different clocks/volts. Always try and use the least amount of volts, and just keep testing. Jump to 4.4-4.5 since that is close to where you want to be at, and see how low you can get the volts. Then rinse and repeat.

I'll try that . THanks anyway. :)

i have 4.7 with 1.27 volts, it seems you are using too much.

I think you have a really good chip.
