more then likely me, been whinging about it for a while xD

i think i've had enough, time to change the board. going to pop to my local shop and pick up a sabertooth, if i encounter the same issue i'll return it and pay a restocking fee.

can any 1 explain this lol.

4.7ghz 47x100 1.224vcore been running aida for 18mins
4.7ghz 47x100 1.28vcore fails aida/prime/ibt instantly bsod 0x124 ??????

when i first got my motherboard i updated my bios, which corrupted first time i've ever encountered problems updating bios in 10 years also first time using msi board !!

wondering if that could be playing apart in my vcore war. i've tried everything.. apart from changing board or cpu.

Try disabling C-states too. I've had issues with them on my P55 motherboard.

thanks for the suggestion but i've already tried

either way it looks like its going to cost me money

updated my post

Could you sum up all you have tried?

42x100 1.28 fails
40x100 1.28 fails
35x100 1.28 fails

the higher i set my vcore the more unstable my system becomes.

tried bios update, all energy saving features on/off, turbo on/off , upping SA/ i/o /mem voltages, different ram seepds, 1333mhz,1600mhz,1866mhz, XMP on/off, 1stick of ram in each slot,different ram, different stress test software.

Have you played with cpu voltage fixed frequency, and phase control settings?

cpu pll and internal pll overvoltage?

vonex · 2 Jul 2012 at 13:07

sorry, yes tried upping and lowering ppl, ppl overvoltage on/off.

the board only has phase control auto or disabled tried both

and setting vdroop control auto 0%/50%/100%

seems msi bios is much different to gigabyte/asus boards..

Installed coretemp, and according to that, my VID at 4.8 is 1.1559V

Edit: yes, I know this isn't a finished run. I wanted to demonstrate what it looks like under load - for a completed ibt run, click the link 3 posts up.

Indeed as other guy said, low gigaflops........ I get 108.xxx at 4.7Ghz so somethings wrong with your setup

That was with memory at stock - what do you have your memory at?

Edit: run cinebench 11.5 and let me know what score you get.

-Mike- · 2 Jul 2012 at 14:19

I had my memory at stock also dude

eyetrip · 2 Jul 2012 at 14:35

What is stock for your memory?

Mine is Samsung Green, so 1600 11-11-11-28-2t

You got same memory?

Last time I looked in IBT (which is not a benchmark) I was getting around 112/113 with 4.9GHz.

Think the memory was at 2000 at that time.

jeff6475 · 2 Jul 2012 at 14:40

HT can affect the gigaflops,if its on you get lower

Earlier in the thread you claimed 110 in IBT, now you say 112/113 so which is it?

I've got el cheapo corsair 1600 RAM

I am not likely running the same clocks as then, be it memory or cpu, etc.

I have not been using IBT much lately, and have not been paying attention to how many gflops it was giving, but rather whether it passed.

Not sure what you are getting at here? Is it that you think I am full of £$%&, or is it that you want to say yours is better than mine?

To make you happy, I will do a run of IBT very high tonight, and let you know what gflops I get.

In the mean time, how about you download and run cinebench, and let me know what score you get?

Mr Krugga · 2 Jul 2012 at 15:32

GFlops will depend on a number of factors, clock speed, amount of memory used, threads and the CPU load.

One thing is certain, there should not be much variety in the GFlops if the overclock is stable and there are no other background tasks.

Those claiming higher numbers should make sure they use Very High preset in IBT and the same version of Linpack to be sure.

eyetrip · 2 Jul 2012 at 15:39

Can see I am sounding a bit sensitive... sorry.

Headache and tired.

Lulz, no one cares who has the fastest cpu. I run mine at 0.7x volts at 3.9Ghz. I have one silent fan and it doesn't get hot! You are the one who constantly posts in this thread to no ones interest........

I don't need to improve my e-peen if that is what you are getting at mate, though it certainly appears that you are desperate to do so!

Hmmmm, at the risk of still sounding sensitive, take a look at the thread title.

In my opinion this thread is for those who overclock their CPU's and share their experience. Which is what I am doing.

If I didn't have a chip that clocked well, I'd be posting a lot trying to get suggestions on what I could do to improve it.

If people weren't going to post their experiences, this would be a very dull thread indeed.

I simply don't like it when people question my integrity/honesty, which it sounded to me like you were doing.

I couldn't care less who has the fastest, but it was coming across that you did. Hence my response.
