Done overclocking. But something is wrong...

[ili199]

So I got my i5 4690K to 4.7GHz at 1.300V but when I turn on adaptive mode for the voltage (as Linus said in is overclocking guide) my system crashes on stardup.

What can be the problem and what is the solution?

 

Thx

If it isn't stable to do so, you will have to adjust your offset voltages as well (You should have to anyway)

 

If it isn't stable with that, you'll need to dial it back.

What does the offset voltage do? and what to I have to set it to?

The offset shows how much the voltage can ramp to.

 

My computer is using 1.25v base with 0.125v offset to reach 1.375v

1.3v is quite a bit , how is your cooling ?

I would not go above 1.29v if you're planning on having it for more than 4 years ( I had a 2500k die after ~3.5 years at 1.302v )

1.3v isn't that much really... As I said above, I'm going to 1.375 on air. It all depends on the chip, and the temperatures you're running.

ofc I'm just warning with my experience , the chip died a little while ago , in september , and had been running @1.3v 4.5ghz .

 

Rock on if your cooling is good enough for 1.375 ( NH-D14 ? )

"Done overclocking but unstable" -> then you're not done.

If adaptive mode causes instability just leave it on manual.

What does the offset voltage do? and what to I have to set it to?

 

The Offset Voltage changes the voltage of the whole system at a constant.

 

so when at idle with offset voltage set to nothing/auto. your lowest voltage can be something like .700v with a max voltage of 1.300v. (the number you set)

 

when you add to your offset voltage it changes those number to... say you set your offset to +.05 now your lowest voltage will be something like .750v and your max will got up to 1.350v

 

adaptive makes your cpu voltage and clockspeed go up and down. (just like auto) but with adaptive you can set your max voltage. and with the offset you can change the number at a constant.

 

 

"Done overclocking but unstable" -> then you're not done.

 

While this is a true statement, it doesn't really help the OP fix the problem. Try to give advice on how to fix it plz.

 

 

If adaptive mode causes instability just leave it on manual.

 

You can do this, but I wouldn't recommend it, as you WILL cut the life of your CPU by a lot with it always taking on 1.3v, plus the power consumption, energy cost, and constant heat your CPU will have to deal with.

 

-------------------------

 

1. You can dial back your Clock speed

2. you can add a small offset, but you should take off some from your max so you still top out at 1.3v

3. set manual at all times

Show me some data that backs up "a lot" and I'll believe it.

Ran an i7-980x at 1.35v for 5 years, still chuggin along. Voltage (potential difference) does not equal wattage (power), we're talking about Haswell here, unless he's running synth bench's 24/7 the increase in power during gaming or multitasking load is really not that much (10-20w+ for ~.05-.075v) for an i5.

I expect that this thread will help youhttp://linustechtips.com/main/topic/294119-troubleshooting-instability-at-idle-while-overclocking-with-adaptive-voltage/. You probably need a bit of offset to stabilize non load clocks.

[Joni_00]

Go down to 1.250 Volts at 4.5 GHz and try that if it runs stable you can try 4.6 GHz.

[harrynowl]

You need to specify a target turbo voltage when in adaptive mode.

My computer is using 1.25v base with 0.125v offset to reach 1.375v

Okay, I have turned down my OC to 4.5Ghz (fine for me 4.7 was pushing the limit) and I got it to boot in adaptive mode with a voltage offset off 0.050v. At 0.040v it would not boot. When I played some games the CPU voltage was fine but the voltage on my PCH alsow whent up by 0.050v. Is this a problem? and what are the risks?

Thx for the help already.

Edit: just crashed at the desktop... What do do???

What is the turbo mode voltage that you are using? You should have set two numbers, turbo mode voltage and offset voltage, but you only reported one value.

This is a screenshot of my bios:

Is it the 'Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage' that I have to change?

Yes, you should be changing the "additional turbo mode voltage". That is the equivalent of vcore in adaptive mode. Try

Additional turbo mode voltage: 1.300v

Offset: 0.001v (you can't set it to 0)

The UEFI will add the values together, and it should read 1.301v.

If you encounter instability, try troubleshooting it will this thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/294119-troubleshooting-instability-at-idle-while-overclocking-with-adaptive-voltage/

Thanks for the amazing help!!!

It seems to work fine now!!!

Had to set the offset voltage to 0.001 (Thought Auto would do it... stupid me... should really listen to the pro OC'ers...)

Glad I could help.  You may encounter instability at idle down the road, just follow the above directions if that happens.
