Haswell-e overclocking

jimbaw · 16 Sep 2014 at 14:27

quick thread so people can share their max stable overclock on haswell e and discuss their settings etc:

I'll start: got 4.375Mhz @1.25v (1.248v in cpu z) set

it would be interesting to see what other people get.

AVX (Handbrake) stable or stable with something else?

Thanks, reason I ask is because like you, I ran those with my 4790K but Handbrake is another story! Sorry for derailing. I was toying with Haswell-E, as I rip DVD's to MP4 (hence using Handbrake).

5820k @4.5 1.320v. 1.920 input, ram at 2133 due to instability of current bios.

Tested with gaming.

strange. the asus bios seems stable enough to enable xmp profiles

Am sure I just got the XMP 2 work....

Intelburn on very hard. need to re-do my paste on the CPU tho I think. temps were a little warm.

@Streetlight: this is quite warm indeed! what cooling have you got?

uksoldierboy · 16 Sep 2014 at 15:30

yeah it's a pain in the ass

I can boot to XMP profile 1 (2800mhz) but can overclock much at all regardless of volts at that speed, XMP profile 2 (3000mhz) won't even boot at stock cpu speeds.

tbh Not going to be at 100% load about 90% of the time.

yeah that is very true. as long as you're stable for what you use it for, you're good to go. just updated my x99 deluxe bios to 0902 and I'm not stable anymore for some reason
