Asus AI suite 3

[ApexMaster]

hey guys, so today I decided to play with AI suite 3. i went to 5 way optimizer and clicked on optimized. it got my pc to 4600 hertz. can anyone explain what the turbo section is for? I have it off right now, but when I try to turn on. it says I have to put the 5 way opt. in auto mode. here is image of HW info of current temp while racing is the CPU running hot? I also DL cinebech R15 and did a cpu test and got a score of 891.

Load Optimized defaults in your UEFI, and DEINSTALL this piece of Crap software called al suite 3 please.

This software is BUGGY and makes things mostly worse, than better. Too much Voltage, and tweaks stuff that dont need to be tweaked, thus can lower the system stability.

 

Even this auto-OC Bullshit directly in UEFI shouldn't be used.

If you don't know how to OC, then dont do it.

If you do, do it by yourself, and try out the best settings.

 

 

In Addition to that: Do i read it right 1.8 VOLT Core Voltage??? O_o"

That's VCCIN, odd HWMonitor issue.

 

@ApexMaster as @Darkseth said, don't use AISuite to OC, it's trash. Look at your core voltage. 1.312v for 4.6GHz is pretty crap. Do everything manually through the BIOS. Should be able to get 1.25-1.275v for that clock stable provided you have an average chip. At 1.3v I'd expect ~4.7GHz.

Never use auto overclock software's they almost always put way too much voltage for very little overclock, it's always better to manually dial in your overclock and to do stress tests to ensure stability.

 

If your talking about Turbo App it and optional app that fwd's that overclock data to your smartphone:

Depends, my 6700k needs 1.29V or so for 4.5 Ghz (im still running it atm with 4.2 and 1.18V, since i dont need the power untill i upgrade my GPU to pascal/polaris)

There are surely better chips than mine, but also worse D:

 

It can really depend on die lottery (but yes, such automatic stuff always set the voltage too high. Maybe you could even go down by 0.1 Volt, and still be stable. And that's huge)

i not a pro at OC, i have watched the tutorials on OC guides. I tried it before but it was same voltage for same multiplier.  at moment im running stock i7 cpu fan cooler. I just ordered a new one from cooler master hyper D92.  when i had it OC to x47 i was running too hot so i went back to stock.

There is a very good guide here on Haswell overclocking, but in general you want to bump the multiplier, and do a quick stress test for 10-20 min to test to see if it can handle it, after you find the point where you cannot pass the stress test you can raise the voltage, keeping it below 1.3V and <85C for temps.
