3770k Overclocking fine tuning.

[MerchantBanker360]

Hello, 

 

My PC specification is as follows.

 

3770k 

Asus p8z77-v lk

16 gb of Corsair Dominator DDR3 @ 1866mhz.
Nvidia GTX 780

Corsair HX850 PSU.

 

I've currently got my 3770k running at 4.5ghz. The RAM is running on XMP.

The BLCK at 100 and turbo ratio set to 45. 
Load line calibration to 75% and CPU current capability to 120% (max on my board)

The voltage is set to offset mode with a value of +0.015.

Idles at 0.872-0.880 volts

100% load at 1.256/1.264 volts. 

 

All other settings are left at default.

 

This is acceptable and the average temps are 65-72c running a h100i with a pretty loud fan curve. 


I want to get this stable at lower voltages/temps, I am asking for ideas/thought preferably based on experience with this combination of mobo/cpu to achieve this. 

Also I would like to know why, at 4.4ghz (with LLC on auto at this point) I wast stable at 1.192v but required such a large increase in voltage to get to 4.5. 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Try this for better temperatures and an even lower total CPU voltage.......

 

BLCK = 45 on all cores

LLC = Regular

Offset V = +0.050, start at +0.0040

Just drop to 4.4 Ghz, there is not much performance lost
