Hey guys, 

 

Got a question regarding the i7 7770k, i have it under 5 ghz, 1,340 voltage, i am new to overclocking stuff etc, what options and things i should change in my BIOS settings to this CPU would run stable on my motherboard? Motherboard is Asus z270 Maximus IX hero, well detailed info will be great if you can provide

 

on idle temps are 32-35 , and on 100% load it was doing 75-77 , using AIO corsair h105 CPU cooler ( CPU is not delided)

Well is it stable right now? Try running AIDA 64 or Prime95 for at least 2-3 hours and then start doing everyday stuff, games, multitasking etc and see if you enocuter problems, from that point everytime you start your PC try lowering the Voltage a bit (around 0.005V) also if you find the point where it gets unstable try bumping up the load line, also try to disable all powersaving features and put your windows into Perfomance mode (the power savings features in the bios are in the advanced mode menu, most of them are in the Ai tuner part (correct me if I'm wrong about the part of the BIOS but that's as far as I know didn't touch my BIOS for a long time now)

Yes , it is stable now as i see, playing games etc, should i change anything else. there are tons of stuff there that i dont understand, all i know is that i have changed the voltage to the mentioned one

Just keep lowering it and disabeling all the power saving stuff, and then when you encounter stability problems try setting the load line calibration in the BIOS to maybe level 3-5 what works for oyu, I never needed to got higher before getting to the end of the capabilities of my chip (it's in the ai tuner part, maybe take a look at your mobo manual it should be there, at least a explanation how to find it) basically you got into your bios presws F7 and then go to the right till you are there, but you should be familiar with it as you already overclocked your chip
