Help with i7 3770k OverClock

I have some questions and problems i am having regarding the voltage. I have been stable running intel burn test at 1.165 at 4.5 before doing all the changes in the bios. After doing the tweaks i had to push the voltage to 1.175 to run Intel extreme tuning utlity it ran fine for 5 hours. Then i started to run prime for 24 hours, for that i had to push the voltage to 1.190 to run it for 24 hours. Now i am having issues with games like bf3 in some maps it does a heavy lag. I have checked temps fine with cpu on load 45 and gpu's are fine as well. I am pretty much trying to figure out what is my stable voltage so i can do a offset voltage.

Currently My Voltage is at 1.195 with ultra high llc, i raised the ram voltage to 1.55000 and PLL voltage to 1.80000

You might want to check what your actual voltage is when running prime. I know for a fact that it is not at 1.195.

1.195 in bios and in CPUZ it shows 1.200 when surfing websites. Full Load will run prime its at 1.208 So i am not sure exactly what to do.

Anybody?

3770K @ 4.5GHz is Prime stable at less than 1.2V?!

Yes Prime 95 is stable at 1.195 Voltage maybe less i cant remember.

 

You've got a golden chip then!

It has ran stable in prime 95 at 1.185 as well. But i raised the voltage to 1.195 but i am trying to figure out if my LLC is correct and if i should raise more voltage

 

LLC is fine. It will mean higher idle temps, but slightly better load temps and much better stability. If you're 24/7 Prime95 stable, don't raise your voltage any more.

I wouldn't say golden chip. You can put phase control back to optimized, you don't need extreme for tiny overclocks. PLL overvoltage can be disabled, again, small overclock.

 

 

Just put the vcore up to 1.22-1.25V and leave LLC to ultra high, try out a game. Make sure you're video card isn't overclocked at this time.

ok, did you have BF3 lag when running the clocks stock?

 

are you raising the CPU voltage to remain stable or what?

 

if P95 needs more voltage to be stable, then work on that platform, then retest on other

synthetics to verify stability. jumping around diff stress apps makes for long and

unsuccessful runs/passes.

 

make sure the RAM is set to 1600 (even if you have higher) and timings are correct

(should be the first thing done).

Done, put the phase back to optimized and pll disabled and set the voltage to auto. Will test, thanks

Ram is set to 1600 and timings are set properly. Also the voltage for ram is at 1.55000. In the bios its at 1.195 and its stable havent had any issues. But Battlefield 3 in some maps i notice  a heavy lag not smooth at all. GPU's are not overclocked either, after setting everything to default and test i felt the same stuff on ultra settings. I have ran tests to make sure hardware is ok and it is. Single player runs fine in bf3. I am not sure if its just the game.

 

Another problem i see is it could be my batterybackup. Its a apc batterybackup 550va and 330watt and i also have the monitor and other small networking devices connected to it.

I wouldn't suggest auto voltage at 4.5GHz... May run into temperature problems.

 

Make sure it isn't your internet connection too.

Voltage for PLL i set it back to auto, but i kept my cpu manual voltage to 1.195.

 

Could it also be my battery backup? as i mentioned above

Could be but I don't think so, find another surge protector and give it a try.
