Overclocking Help

[AMD Lover]

So i did a quick rough OC of 46x @ 1.35v and i was wondering if i need to let that run for 8 hours before i start dropping my voltage or can i let it run for like an hour then start dropping my voltage until it becomes unstable then raise it up a bit, like 0.15 and try to run it for 8 hrs.

Would help to know which CPU you used...

Run it for as long as it takes (try 12-24 hours for a burn in to see if it's stable) If it's SandyBridge/Ivybridge, I wouldn't go much past 1.35 in voltage. Haswell will melt before you can get much past 1.35

if it crashes within that time period, give a slight bump in voltages but if that fails, drop the clocks down and repeat.

4770K

4770K

What kind of temps are you seeing right now? Haswell will shoot up pretty fast once you get around 4.6@1.35 so be careful. Make sure it stays below 90c. I and most others recommend liquid cooling.

stick around ill give u a few pics

I'll try

Might have to zoom in but everything you need should be in there, voltages, temps, etc. Also bear in mind that i could probably drop my voltages to 1.315 and be stable

You could always try Intel Burn Test since that takes considerably less time to check if an overclock is stable.

try 1.315 and go from there. it's better than 1.35 for sure. Every little bit counts, especially when it comes to heat. Make sure you run Prime for at least 12 hours!

I'd try overclocking it without bumping the voltage up just yet. The temperatures really do bump up when you start playing with the voltage on Haswell. I'm stability testing my 3770K at the moment @4.8GHz with a 1.265 Vcore. (I know, I did pretty good in the silicon lottery)

i can make it to 4.2/4.3 on just about stock voltage i was just wanting somewhere around 4.6

For Haswell, I would recommend using AIDA64 or Intel XTU (safest stress test imo) because prime95 is not validated for Haswell.
