Hey guys,

 

I've just done my first ever cpu overclock, and also on my new pc ( http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/149185-new-rig-done/ ) and I guess it was reasonable.. Here are the results out of a total of 12 tests (the last one was exactly the same as the 5th one)

 

Test 1, 4,4 Ghz @ 1,2 V: immediate bluescreen

Test 2, 4,4 Ghz @ 1,23 V: Completed a 10 minute long Aida 64 stress test, with an average of 70 degrees celcius, max 77

Test 3, 4,5 Ghz @ 1,23 V: Immediate bluescreen

Test 4, 4,5 Ghz @ 1,24 V: Aida64 stress test lasted for about 9 minutes, then it gave a bluescreen with an average 72 degrees celcius, max 79

Test 5, 4,5 Ghz @ 1,25 V: Completed a 15 minute long Aida64 stess test, wuth an average of 75 degrees celcius, max 82

Test 6, 4,6 Ghz @ 1,26 V: Immediate bluescreen

Test 7, 4,6 Ghz @ 1,27 V: Immediate bluescreen

Test 8, 4,6 Ghz @ 1,28 V: Immediate bluescreen

Test 9, 4,6 Ghz @ 1,25 V (Just wanted to see if a lower voltage would work): Immediate bluescreen

Test 10, 4,591 Ghz (base clock of 99,82 Mhz, multiplier of 46) @ 1,26 V: Immediate bluescreen

Test 11, 4,520 Ghz (base clock of 100,46 Mhz, multiplier of 45) @ 1,25 V: Aida64 Stress test lasted for about a minute, then a bluescreen.

Test 12 was exactly the same as test 5 but now it gave a bluescreen within 5 minutes while the first time it lasted for 15 minutes...

 

Sorry if I did anything wrong, it was also my very first time doing this

I hope you liked it and if you have some tips to improve my overclock they are more than welcome!

 

Edit: If you want some more detailed results you can send me a message, I have them written down on some paper

try 1.3 voltage, Under 1.3 boltage for 4.6 GHz is too much for most chips, correct me if i am wrong

You must have done really bad in the silicon lottery, I can easily get to 4.6 and well over 4.8 when benching and I don't have an exceptional chip.

Well you were not really doing too much wrong....although I would run test a little bit longer.

 

You should test 5 for a little bit longer and see if that is really stable.

 

Also I would try not to change the base clock if you don't really have to. Just my opinion. And why dont you raise your voltage a little bit more. I had to go to 1.30 for 4.6 Ghz on my CPU (you have to consider that mine is sandy and yours haswell).

Just watch for your temps, it is really only very dangerous as soon as temps a very high.

IMHO it would not make sense to go to 1.3V only to get 100MHz more out of the CPU. Despite the unreasonable heatoutput, consider the power it draws to get that little more in performance. I personally would stick to the 4.4 @ 1.23V, maybe even go to 1.24V only to be sure in stability.

I'm not going to run everyday at the highest clock, just trying to see what's the highest I can get

Well I guess that is it haha, but I could also have lost the lottery, we'll see when I get the voltage a bit higher

Whatever you do, don't go over 1.5v. I've seen people trying to go past 5.0 on sandy-ivy with 1.5v, which obviously ended up frying their chips.

haswell is very bad for OC. my non-k core i7 3770 can easily do 4.4 GHZ on 1.2 V lol

 

here if you do not belive

I know, haswell isn't the best for overclocking, and without those pictures I would believe you :P But still a bit jealous.. xD
