3770k + z77 sabertooth 0x124 bsod

sup 8pack!

i've been trying to get my head round this problem for some time now basically i have 4.6ghz stable and i've been trying to achieve 4.7ghz.. the problem arises when i raise the vcore regardless of what clock speed my cpu is at.

for example my current settings are stable 18hours prime/60 max passes IBT.

46x100
all c-states disabled
VCCSA 1.625
vcore offset + 0.35 results in 1.232 vcore
LLC on ultra high
pll voltage auto
pch voltage auto
spread spec disabled
all digi on extreme

basically if i raise my vcore to say 1.28 with the same settings above i get pretty much instant bsod when running prime or ibt error code 0x124, even if i drop clocks back down to normal. any suggestions on what would be the next best steps to take?

regards

ahh just noticed my mistake that voltage was ment to read 1.0625. so is the VCCSA directly linked to vcore? i know VCCSA and VCCIO are linked on this board which controls the voltage to the memory controller?. i only get the problem when i use a higher vcore. if i leave everything stock then change vcore to 1.3 with stock clocks running 1600mhz on the memory then run prime i get the same error code, infact i've tried 1.4vcore and it fails at windows logo with bsod 0x124.

i'll mess about with VCCSA and see what happens.

Oi Vonex .... so we're not good enough for yer are we ? Have to ask the grand master do you ?! Good work 8 pack

no comment

... !

i'm currently back to default testing.... hopefully wont get sick and restore my previous overclock, will report back in a day or so
cheers

ok, been testing for a full day now... still cant get any sort of joy i need 1.288vcore to get no WHEA errors but still getting bsod 0x124 , tried adding phc voltage, VCCSA, PLL 1.45 to 1.9

next thing to test would be the turbo settings ? not sure if thi should be touched on z77?

vonex · 22 Jan 2013 at 15:45

using 1600mhz 10 10 10 28 1t while testing

speed step is enabled i was just testing it when i took that pic

i'll try adding more vcore, prime fails instantly at 1.288 but i can pass 15mins at 1.264 but i get WHEA errors

yeah ram passes memtest, highest i've seen on the cores was 82c which is high considering the cooling i have!

ive tried 2 motherboards, 2 ram kits all the same bsod when using more vcore.. think i can safely say i have not been able to get it over 4.6 in 7 month i've had this cpu.. might be time to give up

vonex · 22 Jan 2013 at 16:55

yeah might do, speaking of ram timings what would be the best timmings for the ram at 2133mhz.. never really understood ram timings and currently have hem at 9 10 10 24 1t does this make sense?

82c on custom water problem??

yes its a problem to me, but its not my setup its this bloody chip! its in desperate need of being delidded... however i dont want to destroy the resale value.

Not neccessaryly the CPU may have high thermals.

Check your mount, check the downward pressure of the mount. Get a volt meter and measure the actual Vcore being applied.

i have re-seated the block 5-6times with 4 different thermal pastes all with the same results.

i'm using xspc raystorm and its as tight as it can be.

Yeah 2133 those timings are good. Maybe try TRAS 21. Rest are fine

stable at 9 10 10 21 88 1.5v, any suggestions on getting tighter timings?

vonex · 16 Feb 2013 at 11:30

bought new cpu and sold my old 1 on well known auction site,
running at 4.7ghz @ 1.416vcore

cpu pll 1.65v vccsa 1.0625v, pch 1.09v.

4.6 at 1.32v my old chip only needed 1.232 for 4.6 but could not run 4.7

temps are skyhigh! ran prime for 6hours max temp was 93c!

6 Hours!!! Is your PC's primary use Prime??? well 5.5 hours wasted there then!!! 1.41 is too much for 24/7 to be honest at 90+ C.

not what i wanted to hear... dont think i can get the vcore down at all with out getting WHEA errors, i'll try and reseat the cpu block inabit just to make sure there is no air bubbles in the paste.. cant find my mx4 so only got as5 to hand!

i'm an online gamer so need my system to be stable for good amount of time, nothing worse then bsod when in the middle of intense pwnage

vonex · 16 Feb 2013 at 20:52

currently running at 4.5ghz at 1.25 untill i can sort this heat issue out

vonex · 16 Feb 2013 at 21:08

yup, VCCSA and VCCIO are linked together on this board, it matches VCCIO to what value you set on VCCSA

This is not correct. They are are divider of each other not the same!!

VCCSA 1.10v VCCIO 1.05v.!

thanks for clearing that up 8pack

vonex · 20 Feb 2013 at 14:34

i took your advice on the chip running to hot and decided to delid it, just got round to applying liquid pro and omg what good results, i was seeing 95C at the same point with intel paste.
