Hello all ,

I finally get my hands on a I7 4790K cpu with MSI z97a Gaming 7 Motherboard.

I have just overclocked my cpu to 4.7ghz

but my ring frequency is stock which is 4ghz for 4790k.

The system just passed 24hours stability aida test so i know its stable


but i am curious about Ring/Cache Frequency

What it does ( since i was amd user i have no idea)?

Currently it is 4ghz with vring 1.150v


Do i need more or less?

Any Real World Benefits of having high or lower than core frequency?



sorry if its been asked before but i am pumped up and very exited about my new toy tongue.gif


Thanks all

OCing it makes very little difference, but it changes cache (Little bit of really fast RAM on the CPU itself) frequency.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

it can increase the performance in specific applcations and it will very likely increase your scores on some benchmarks and physics scores
