Help overclocking i5-4670k

Finished with 587cb this time rather then the last which was 551cb

You havent set XMP, so your RAM is rated to run at 1600MHz (800x2).

Go into advanced memory section, load the XMP profile and save+exit.

Then try again.

P.S again its an oversized image.
 
Ok, Try again with what though? I know I am sorry I am not sure how I am supposed to change the size of the images.
 
CPU-Z, see what it says after.

You heard of Microsoft paint? it comes free with every copy of windows since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

haha yes sorry thats what I take the picture using too. I will resize from now on. Sorry again.
 
Wot cpu cooler do you have?

I see at 4.2ghz the bios has auto adapted the voltage to 1.318v.That will run the cpu very hot without adequate cooling.

Ok I done the changes you told me to do and this is how both tabs look now. Is that ok?.

I have a Hyper EVO 212
 
Memory is now running correctly.

You should learn about Vcore offset now, so instead of the board auto increasing the Vcore for you.

You set the offset to be whatever you want to add to the stock voltage.

So at stock speed if your CPU uses 1.15V but needs 1.3V for 4.2GHZ, you set the offset to +0.15v.

Those are just numbers I picked out of thin air, so dont use them exactly.
 
Memory is now running correctly.

Was it running slower then it should have been? I am not sure how this could happen because I have never changed anything in my BIOS to do with memory.

Also should I run an IntelBurnTest to check my temps now that I have the 42 setting?.
 
It was running slower, ignore the reason why.

Do not use IBT or Prime95.

If you want to stress and test the PC either use it for the tasks its meant for or run ASUS realbench.

So does that just mean if my Vcore is now 0.961 at idle and 1.318 when its underload, I have to change the offset to the difference between those 2 numbers? +0.35v
 
No, you need to see what your Vcore is at stock 3.4Ghz.

So reset your BIOS back, run say cinebench and see what CPU-Z says it is, also the BIOS will tell you in the voltage section.

Your CPU may not even actually need 1.318v for 4.2Ghz, it might be fine at 1.28v
 
I found this - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html

I was wondering what the options 2,4,5 are called on my BIOS because I dont find anything with the same name or similar to what is said in this guide -
2. Set CPU cache Multiplier also called the Ring bus multiplier to 35
4. Set CPU Cache Voltage also could be called Ring Bus voltage to 1.20v -1.25vv
5. Set Vrin also called "CPU Input Voltage" To 1.9v - 2.1v

For gigabyte boards

Cache multiplier is Cache ratio
Cache voltage is vRing
Vrin is Vccin



As stulid says you wont need 1.318v for 4.2ghz stable, my 4670k does 4.6ghz at that voltage,and its not even a great clocker lol
 
3. Set Fixed CPU Vcore to 1.25 -1.30 - I have at 1.26
4. Set CPU Cache Voltage also could be called Ring Bus voltage to 1.20v -1.25vv - 1.25
5. Set Vrin also called "CPU Input Voltage" To 1.9v - 2.1v - 2

Should I be trying to get those voltages down to a minimum without it causing crashes? Should I just keep trying to lower them until I can find the lowest volts that it is stable at? or do I have it all wrong and I should be going up and not down?

Does it still reduce the core speed and the voltage at idle?

The core speed yes but the voltage no. Should it be?.

This is my latest test, highest CPU temps when running cinebench is 75

This is at idle

The voltage yes, ideally.

What you need to do instead of setting a voltage, type in Normal or press PageDN or PageUP till Normal appears, then underneath the offset option should go from being greyed out and unusable to being usable.

The offset is what you want to add to the stock voltage to reach say 1.269

So if stock is 1.1V and you need 1.269V to be stable, set offset to +0.169

And it will add that value when underload.

And if I go up to say 46 I would just do it again but change the offset by however many it needs?.

I think that's what you mean? Sorry about the image size but I had to use my phone to take it.

Yes.

Offset is what you want to add to the stock voltage to reach a new voltage.

Be careful using it and make sure you are adding and not subtracting, check CPU-Z after to make sure its a value you expect.
