i7 4770k

Just bought the i7 4770k overclocked to 4.4Ghz (the bundle) what is the chance of getting 4.6Ghz or higher on water?

try and see.

Water won't necessarily let you clock it higher, it will however let you increase voltage more than you would on air by keeping temps down. What vcore are you running x44 with?

If you were just going to OC it yourself, why not just buy it separately?

It is impossible for anyone here to estimate the overclocking capability of your particular chip.

You are going to have to try.

I guess I will have to hope lady luck smiles.

If you know how to overclock then there is honestly no point in buying a pre overclocked bundle. Buy seperately and you'll save £50-100.

The premium is for the OC.

Got the 4770k. Currently prime 95 testing.

4600Mhz.
Vcore = 1.37v
cache = 4500Mhz
cache volts =1.35v

Was passing every other benchmark with greatly reduced volts but this is prime 95 stable. Temps are 54 or below.

Crashed after a few hours.

Got the 4770k. Currently prime 95 testing.

4600Mhz.
Vcore = 1.38v
cache = 4500Mhz
cache volts =1.35v
Analog IO volts = 150mV
Digital IO volts = 150mV

The only plus to buying the bundles are that they speed bin cpus for the high overclock bundles xD.

zx128k · 25 Dec 2013 at 15:54

vcore at 44x is 1.28volts. 1.088 at stock.

zx128k · 25 Dec 2013 at 15:55

using Aida64 to test.

Litmoose · 25 Dec 2013 at 20:42

hmm isnt that voltage quite high? My 3770k only needs 1.275 for 4.6

zx128k · 25 Dec 2013 at 22:15

Prime 95 is not stable on blend. Other prime tests okay.

Will try lowering it later.

zx128k · 25 Dec 2013 at 22:46

RAM related 1600 to 1333mhz and blending fine. Temps 60 and under. Test the Ram in the morning.

zx128k · 26 Dec 2013 at 03:59

One hour stable in prime 95. Temps hitting 64 max. Processor input voltage at 1.95v. Fixed Ram timings. I added 8GB of Ram.

zx128k · 26 Dec 2013 at 12:24

Tried prime 95 at the overclockers overclock and it died.

zx128k · 10 Feb 2014 at 13:04

New processor and testing in aida 64, at 1:1 x45.
vcore 1.35volts water cooled approx. 60oC full load.
Cache volts 1.4volts. 3 hours stable so far.

setter · 10 Feb 2014 at 13:14

1.4v on cache seems very high?

zx128k · 10 Feb 2014 at 13:46

Testing 1.35volts for the cache at the moment.
