H100 and that http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-368-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990 on the way. Whats my aim for i5 oc??

stulid · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:13

4.5GHz+

depends how brave you are at how far you want to push it.

I done 5GHZ+ on this Gigabyte board, but everyday usage is 4.7GHz.

Just up multiply, leave vote on 1.3 (whats their max?) and work myself down. This will be a far cry from auto overclock lol.. You've cost me so much monies

stulid · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:16

The Vcore may alter automatically if the SerialVID works perfectly, basically the board automatically adjusts the Vcore to suit.

You just set the multiplier from 33X to say 40X, then re-enter the BIOS, then have a look at the Vcore, if its increased on its own while still on AUTO setting then your good to go.

It should change to this,

Stock-4GHz on Stock VID
4.0-4.3GHz 1.300v-1.325v
4.3-4.5GHz 1.325v-1.375v
4.5-4.8GHz 1.375v-1.450v

Ah, so whats your i5 at (pretty sure you had one with some epic build)

I am now on another epic build since the last epic build

Currently using this board - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18312497&highlight=startername_stulid

This cooler - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18321177

And some other choices parts

I'm guessing cherry picked chips hit 4.8. Also whats the max vcore for intel? I've never been to the darkside lol. Always been with AMD (You should know by now how many issues I've had)

stulid · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:24

1.35V is dead safe.

But people do go a tiny bit over 1.4V to get the 5GHz results, or if you have a extremely lucky chip then it will be less.

lee20010 · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:27

Rightio, well it's all ordered, Arctic silver + h100 should bring that temp down?!!!

stulid · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:27

Can you guess the case?

lee20010 · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:28

Pretty sure its either a cooler master or that Lancool you suggested to me?

Davefran · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:28

I'd be interested to see how far you can get on that board as it only has 7 phase VRM, compared to the UD4 which has 16.

Nope, begins with a "A"

lee20010 · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:32

Antec? what card is that aswell...your cooler looks like a house fan, its massive!

stulid · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:34

DF-85

Thats a GTX570, the picture above is a little different as the Red fan is behind the Rad instead of in front like the pic a few posts up.

More phase = better efficiency, better switching, less heat.

I'm just saying it will be interesting to see how far you can push your chip on that board, considering you'll have much better cooling than most people who've probably got that board

lee20010 · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:53

Do I need to add additional fans to the H100?

stulid · 28 Sep 2011 at 14:56

It comes with two

surely thats enough? unless you want to go Push/Pull which you can do later if your case will fit it?

lee20010 · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:31

Hmm maybe, I guess I'll have to see how it goes when installing everything, might do a build log too?
