4690K OC'ing tell me your setting :D

[P4Clock]

Right i have no idea what i am would with the 1150's when it comes to overclocking so throw some advice at me.

Retail 4690K
Cooler: H100i

Do i need to mess with things like ring setting and so on, or can i just up Vcore and multiplier.

Have a read through that, someone in the same boat as you

Will have a look.

been playing. all i have done is

Multi @ 45
Vcore @ 1.25 fixed

allother setting auto
intel burn test and Cinebench R15 stable.

what would be max safe vcore on H100i

That's all I've done on mine, x46 @ 1.25. Haven't touched anything else. Apart from my RAM.

Run asus real bench. It's a good test and it gives pretty accurate temps too.

Now that depends on how quickly you want to buy a new CPU! Max temp is 95c so anything below that is good. I wouldn't go past 1.35 max. But probably best for someone else to say on that. I'm not 100%

am hitting 75c under Intel burn, i will work on dropping the volts a little because i jut set it and left didn't play in any way

will play some games and get a real temp.

Edit:
Put Vcore on adaptive and set+.100(1.200v)
and put multi to 46.
temps when stress testing are around 70 to 72
all is good

It is my understanding that Gigabyte mobos don't have adaptive. Some boards need adaptive on to use c states whereas Gigabyte (at least my Z97X Gaming 5) just works when u enable c states. I was going to warn you against stress testing while using adaptive, but there is no need.

My 4690k was not as easy to overclock as yours. I have been reading OC guides and my fault was to not set the uncore to fixed (x35) before OC cpu. Now I have 4.5Ghz 1.26v +4.1Ghz 1.2v uncore. Set my ram @ 2nd xmp profile (2133Mhz), will probably be fine @ 2400Mhz too. Just the guide got me to downclock to 1600 for CPU testing, because cpu is "king".

Just treat CPU, uncore and memory clocks as separate overclocks and max them in that order.

Now what I'd like to know is if system agent voltage can affect uncore stability. From the descriptions I've read they seem pretty similar. With system agent supplying the L3 cache voltage. Can't find where I read it now cause the place I looked said ring voltage supplied L3 Cache.

Edit: The description of system agent in bios says that it helps stabilize cache, which is contrary to what I've read elsewhere that its for mem oc stabilization (a bit of both then?).
