OC profile not stable anymore.

So apparently my OC is not stable anymore.....I have had my CPU on 4.4 and higher for years now, but I can't get it to run at 4.4 with 1.32 anymore. Even with a slight increase in voltage it won't get stable. Holy cow, well it looks like my CPU is actually aging. So sad. I love my 2500k so much. ;-)

All my higher profiles that I have dialed in over hours are now not working anymore. I downclocked to 4.2 and it seems to be stable now...

 

Has anyone else here ever had a detirioration like that?

perhaps not the CPU, bu the motherboard's VRMs. Can you test it with another motherboard?

Sadly no. I don't know anyone with a z68 or z77 mobo.

All moved on to newer sockets or AMD....

 

I really don't want to "upgrade" yet, since my system is still fast enough.....

I still use sandy bridge, lol

 

but my brother is using a z77 motherboard. It was my old one before I upgraded to my existing 3930k.

Wll sandy is still very powerful, but I guess I stressed mine a little too much?

I would try cooling the VRMs with a high speed fan and see if the OC can be made any more stable. Might just be capacitors drying out.

 

what board do you have? If its decent, I might trade you for a z77 extreme4 that has never been past 3.8ghz (due to a non K CPU)

Well I have the P8Z77I from ASUS. I actually got better OC numbers for me than the ASROCK P67, ASROCK Z77 Fatality and the MSI Z77G45 I had before that.

Though I guess VRM cooling is a slight issue due to the daughter board they are on. It has never been a problem though. Well I will try speeding up fans and see what happens.

 

The trading is a nice idea, but I live in Germany. sending stuff back and forth is....well I would probably be better off just selling my gear and getting a Skylake build.

Thank you for the offer though.

There's a lot of controversy if OC can shorten the life span of your CPU and I'm on the side that says it does.

At some point obviously it does, the controversy is how much? Is it relevant? Etc. Think that the 2500k is how old now and even with this degradation (which imho is much more likely to be linked to motherboard issues than cpu) it's still running over stock speeds by a nice margin so really what does that comment matter?

@op try increasing Vin by about .1-.2V (not vcore but vin.) This would allow the mobo more headroom when assigning your voltage to core if it is the part actually degrading.

Hey no problem. I wish we could just put it in a zip file and email it. lol

 

But I notice I can get a higher OC on my older videocards by pushing more air through them.

I don't know what you mean by vin.  I have never heard about it or maybe under a different name and google doesn't enlighten me either. ;-)

 

Can you explain a little more please?

It's input voltage. It should be under advanced options in bios right by the core voltage. The default value for Haswell is about 1.9 V but I don't remember what it is for sandy.

I just found a thread explaining that this option is not available for my mobo....

Ouch, well to be honest if that worked then it would basically mean your mobo was dying anyways and you really wouldn't have wanted to keep it that way, but it is a good diagnostic tool.
