Help with my OverClock!

[Wasty]

System Specs:

Msi Gaming 5

I7 4790k

4x4 Hyperx Savage ddr3 2400 ram

evga gtx 980 sv acx 2.0 (x2 sli)

256 evo 40 ssd

barracuda 1 tb

kraken x61 280mm radiator

evga gold+ 850W

 

I'm only just getting used to the Bios from MSI. And i'm unsure on a few values i should be changing. I feel like either i am getting a specific setting wrong, or i simply dont have enough Watts to do what i want.

 

Current OC that is stable: Overclock is stable @ 60c.

CPU - 45 x

        - Fixed

        - 1.235 Volts - Core voltage

RAM - 

        - XMP 2400hz

        - 1.65 volts

 

Unstable OC: Always crashes with a blue screen of death.

 CPU - 46 x

         -  Fixed

         - 1.235-1.35 V I have used all 0.005 values between that range and had the same crash around the same time using prime95. I really am thinking not enough watts?

Sli is the devil. It has never scaled or work in any game ever and you should buy a 1080ti instead because nvidia are really desperate for your money. 

 

 

You should be able to get 4.6ghz working at about 1.275v

Will give it another shoot.

 

As much as want to buy a 1080ti i've had my 980s since they where released. Only just got a new mobo cos one pci lane broke  i feel like i should of got a 1080ti WHEN THE 980 CAME OUT. feelsbadman

I was joking about the sli thing.

You don't think im missing out a value i should be changing? vvcin or an offset of some sort?

Vccin. Maybe ring or cache voltage

changed the vvcin to 1.95. Will see if that makes a diff, have tried your suggestion with voltage and it still blue screens

What is the bsod code do you know? 

 

Try vccsa voltage up a bit. Vvcin can got to 2.1v 

 

Cache voltage also may help. 

 

Try 1.3v cpu vcore as well. 

 

In fact cos you are running 4*4gb on an msi board I bet its sa voltage.

Ok.

vccse is 2.1v

1.3v vcore

1.1v sa volt

 

unsure on cache voltage. will get bsod code asap

trying 4.7 and getting all the same failures as before. Suggestions on what i should up everything too? Or should i not push any further?

 

bsod code is WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

[Jumper118]

Increase sa to 1.2v

[Wasty]

so we can come to the agreement the Sa was the problem? yeet

I am quite sure as the ram configuration you are running is fairly high speed and msi boards aren't great at running fast ram in all 4 slots

[Wasty]

Ok. Update.

 

1.2v on sa @ 4.7ghz doesnt work nor does it with 1.46 vcore

Reset everything on the old 4.6 oc and that stopped working too. Changed the sa to 1.2v and 4.6ghz is back to working.

 

@ 4.7ghz i get a new error CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

OK I would leave it at 4.6ghz.

Me thinks that is the correct decision. Feel like any further may trash my cpu

[Wasty]

thank you for your help!
