4770k Overclock results

[ShadyHost]

Just got my motherboard in and I have been overclocking. 

 

Keep in mind I am using a CM Hyper 212 for this. 

 

Pic of the rig:

 

 

 

So here are my overclock settings:

 

45x100mhz

+0.070 volts offset

1600mhz memory X.M.P (10-10-10-27)

 

Here it is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just wanted to share my results. Temps aren't bad which is odd because of my crappy cooler.

Anyone else having issues viewing the screenshot?

It's linked from Imgur.

Yeah, i was trying to figure that is it 780,770 or titan.

(i guess that it is 780 :P )

780 good sir. I guess I better edit my sig to reflect my new specs

Used a different browser. Temps don't look out of the ordinary.

Its a 212 Evo on a non delidded 4770k. 

 

I was expecting 90+

Well done on the EVO 212. ( my least favorite aftermarket cooler)

 

your temps are perfect!

 

You may have hit the jackpot with your chip, it seems to require less volts than others. HOORAY! For me to be stable at 4.5GHz my cpu requires 1.275-1.3V

 

What is your cpu ring bus set at?

 

what are you using to stress test?

 

I suggest using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility for stress testing, minimum 8-24 hours.

Nice clocks

[Thunderjolt]

Wow, That's one good chip. 1.1 volts at 4.5 Ghz :o

No idea what the ring bus is at :/

 

I use Prime95 for a few hours and then OCCT. I usually run FurMark while running OCCT to simulate a worse case scenario with power draw.

It's closer to 1.2

Where did you see 1.1? i saw 1.18 which is still really good! 

Im at 4.2 with 1.108V and im happy with it :D

lol i saw the pics then i started clapping

It's that exciting?

in cpuz, under the mem tab, it is the NB frequency value. the default value is most likely 3900MHz.  if you can get it stable at 4200MHz-4500MHZ, your getting the most performance out of your cpu.

 

Just a heads up, OCCT and prime95 are not validated for properlly stress testing Haswell chips.

[Hirad123]

Well you are pretty close to what JJ said is a top of the line CPU for haswell.

[Theo]

and use AIDA64 instead of the other stress test programs.

[ProKoN]

your a 5% er

 

1 in 20 haswell chips require low volts for higher clocks, all chips usually clock well with good cooling, a proper motherboard and a higher voltage intake

wot i don't own a haswell chip nor have i ever used one. I just thought he was lucky cause the way i've heard the range of different voltages with haswell chips to reach higher frequency's is pretty big.

I was shitting brix when I bought this thing. Someone on craigslist was selling a new sealed chip for $300 which is $40 less than a new one where I live. 

 

I was hoping it wasn't a failed delid but obviously it isn't.

atta boy. thats the way to shop, totally my style

yup your 100% right. he is a lucky guy.

there is also something to be said about validating an overclock and how it affects what people think thier OC is stable @.

 

In my opinion any overclock requires a minimum of 8 hours proper stress testing, if your the type of person who might game for 16 hours straight your OC should be validated for 24-48 hours.

 

lots of people report their OC without any validation. I have had my OC crash anywhere from 1 minute to ten hours of stress testing. in which case i may increase voltage for stability purposes. if you are only validating for less than 4 hours you may never realize the OC isnt stable and may require more volts than you initially thought.

I am running Aida 64 with CPU, FPU, Cache, and System Memory stress. 

 

I will run it until tomorrow but I might restart and turn down the CPU fan because it is spinning at 100% and sounds louder than the stock cooler ever was. 

 

I will post my time + temps tomorrow.

Oh and mine reads 3900MHz. I guess I should move that up :/

[ProKoN]

I choose the IETU over AIDA64 any day of the week.

 

AIDA64 is still a good synthetic stress testing program and is validated for Haswell, i still however find it too synthetic.
