Can you overclocking experts help me get from 4.6GHz to 4.8GHz on my 3770k tonight?

TonyTurbo78 · 6 Sep 2014 at 19:21

Hi chaps. I'm currently sat at 4.6GHz on my 3770K on air, temps generally are not to bad, think the highest they get to on a stress test is around 75oC on the hottest core. Do you think it would be possible to get to 4.8GHz looking at these pics?

Also, what do you suggest I increase to get there?

Are you on Z68? In my limited Ivy experience... It's difficult to get a substantial OC using DVID alone.
I'm just trying to buy a Z77 board to free up more OC potential on Ivy...

nope, I''m using a Z77 Gigabyte G1 Sniper

Is your vcore on auto ? Not use to that BIOS so cant tell.

If so then open up CPU-Z when under load and post what your vcore is.

vcore is at 1.26 when I give it full load at 4.6GHz but I also throttle the CPU dynamic so drops to 1.6GHz at .09v when on desktop and idle.

You can just increase the clock ratio from 46 to 47 and try booting. If it boots to windows than try a stress test to see if its stable. If it crashes than you would need to raise vcore from 1.26 to 1.27 and repeat. Once you start raising the vcore keep an eye on temps.

Temps from stress tests would be higher than temps from gaming usually.

I wouldnt worry about prime. The CPU wont be under that kind of stress while gaming. If you just use the PC as usual and its stable for gaming etc. then you're sorted

Push for 5Ghz if you like but I wouldn't be going above 1.35V on air 24/7

TonyTurbo78 · 7 Sep 2014 at 01:15

I'm at 1.31v now, temps still in the high 70s. Happy at 4.8GHz for sure.

That's a good chip if you only need 1.31v for 4.8ghz,you need to play games and test with stability that way,as games tend to crash to desktop if CPU v isn't enough yet pass prime95 fine

Also look in windows event viewer for whea parity 19 warnings/errors

will do, cheers wazza
