DE lidded 3770k 4.2ghz (stock) volts

littlepuppy · 18 Apr 2013 at 09:03

As per title, delidded my 3770k and cooled with liquid metal...

Board is Maximus V formula

VID is 1.26 when under load.

Hitting up to 53 degrees peak on prime 95

Cooler is intel liquid solutions thingy...

Question = Should I push for more? I want it stable on stock volts...

53c is pretty cool. You can run these chips up much hotter than that. You should be easily able to push for 4.5GHz and possibily more.

1.26volts isnt stock. Its auto bumped it up im hitting 4.4 on under 1.2 you could probably hit 4.5 on that

littlepuppy · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:14

Would you say that volts wise im safe?

stuie · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:33

oh yes they are fine for everyday id stay under 1.3 if possible though. If you tweak manually rather than using auto you should be able to get 4.5 on those volts

As long as temps are reasonable 1.3v will be fine.

I've been running at 4.8GHz with 1.3v for a while and had no issues

Aslong as you don't exceed 1.4V for 24/7 use your safe.

You have a massive headroom.

With your setup, delidded and liquid pro'd, you should get near 5Ghz at top voltage (possiblly 1.38v-1.4v)..

Keep pushing.

OK, ill push for 4.4 next... Will update the thread with prime temps..

littlepuppy · 18 Apr 2013 at 15:05

OK done 4.4, seems the volts are now 1.28, temps went up to 63 degrees priming, so big jump but totally stable..

stuie · 18 Apr 2013 at 15:31

1.28v still seems a lot for 4.4 what have you got the vcore set to in the bios?

Doomedspeed · 18 Apr 2013 at 15:39

You tried any lower than 1.28. 1.2-1.25 would be good. You should be able to do 4.5 at 1.28-1.3

wazza300 · 18 Apr 2013 at 15:43

you should be able to reach 4.6ghz with 1.28v,although each cpu is different in how much voltage it needs

littlepuppy · 18 Apr 2013 at 16:08

It must be on auto.. Ill have a look.. Ill push it down to 1.25 then..

wazza300 · 18 Apr 2013 at 16:17

you need to use offset

select an llc level and add a tiny amount of cpu offset so it equals 1.25v at load

maybe high llc and +0.05v offset then look to see how much it uses and adjust if need be

I think I have an awesome 3770k chip here. Put it together yesterday, booted to bios, changed multiplier to 42. Made no other changes and its rock solid stable without any voltage changes. Max load temp was around 55-58c across the 4 cores at 1.15v Just got in from work so gonna see what I can get out of this puppy :d

I ain't even thinking of de lidding

littlepuppy · 18 Apr 2013 at 23:36

OK seems to need 1.3v to be prime stable @ 4.6ghz, so think im gonna sit here..

Is this safe for 24/7?

wazza300 · 18 Apr 2013 at 23:43

It's fine imo,below 1.4v and 80c is ok

littlepuppy · 19 Apr 2013 at 08:15

Cheers wazza, didnt think id notice but im sure the system is booting quicker!

That's fine for 24/7. Like said above you can push it to 1.4 (1.42) with no issues, just to see what it can do. I can get mine 4.8 stable at 1.4 but prefer to run it at 4.7 @ 1.33..

stuie · 19 Apr 2013 at 11:19

Can i ask which method you used for the delidding process?
