2600k

Hey guys, ive got my 2600k stable now on 4.7ghz which is great. Im having to use 1.41v which is prob a little high for some people but its fine for me. Was just wondering about this offset option, where it automatically lowers and highers the vcore when need be. Ive read up on offset but ive gotta be honest, i cant get my head around it at all.... Does anyone know what i would have to set offset to for this 4.7 overclock? or 4.8 - 4.9 - 5ghz. If i could have the vcore highering and lowering then i would gladly use more vcore as it wouldnt be 24/7. It does seem really hard to work this offset option out though, ive messed with values on the + and - and they have both given me boot issues.
Obviously i have no idea what im doing with it, but ill gladly admit that.
So if anyone knows where to start with this that would be great.

Thanks as always.

I can put a value in for the vcore if i choose manual, but if i choose offset there doesnt seem to be anywhere that i can put volts?

ok well i really find this hard to understand. My manual overclock is 4.7 1.41v . the VID on core temp say its 1.361 on load. So what exactly would i need to do? does this make sense to you guys? CPUZ says 1.41 on full load.

Clum thanks mate, ive just clicked onto how this works and omg its easy. So now i have offset set on 0.5. With the 2600k it downclocks itself as everyone knows when not on load. So now my vcore is 1.41 when load and 1.048v when just on the net. Thats brilliant. Now i know how it works , i can try for higher clocks. Thanks again mate, its so much easier than it looks

With me needing 1.41v for 4.7 what do u guys reckon is a good guess for 4.8, 4.9 and 5. I was thinking 1.45v attempt for 4.8?

i only put it under load for 1 or maybe 2 hours a day whilst gaming. The rest of the time it isnt going to be under load. So the volts are fine for me lads.

Thanks for advice lads. surveyor tbh im fed up of hearing people say that, i upgrade in 9 months time, so lets be honest it aint gonna blow up. Thanks for the help though.

mmj i am going to be going much higher mate not just the extra 0.06v. My temps are below 65 after 4 hours prime so ill keep going.

Not from me you won't mate.

Yeah mate this h80 cooler is fantastic, ive not tried for 4.8 yet, im gonna have a mess about tonight.

Leeroy123 · 2 Aug 2011 at 20:52

well ok im on 4.8 now. the volts being used is set at 1.448. just running prime. temps are getting up a bit now late 70's . http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/unlednvj.png/ , ill leave this running an hour now. then see where i am from there. been running 25 mins temps are still same as in pic, not budging.

Ok its just got 50 minutes and i stopped it. Will give it a proper test overnight. temps mam where hitting. 74 . 82 . 81 . 80. Seems you where right clum i didnt need as much as 1.45v

If it passes overnight and temps stay where they are, i might go for 4.9 lol

Leeroy123 · 2 Aug 2011 at 21:22

Yeah my chip isnt the best is it. It will still do it but vcore is having to be high

Leeroy123 · 2 Aug 2011 at 21:30

ok mate ill write that down, then save my settings and give that a go. what do you class as vcore on normal

Leeroy123 · 2 Aug 2011 at 21:39

You cant disable LLC on my board, and the vcore doesnt go greyed out mate.

Leeroy123 · 3 Aug 2011 at 01:03

well this is all good for me at 4.8. just gamed for hours , gonna leave it on all night priming. 1.445v though

but as i say using offset so isnt so bad. I am not gonna go any higher with this overclock.
