4.8ghz on 3770k

yeh lol

Great topic, thanks guys. Currently trying to stabilise my 3770K at 4.8 with no joy.
4.7 was a breeze and she does it light at 1.24v, but 4.8 is a totally different matter with this die.

Dyewitness · 20 Jan 2013 at 20:10

Welcome to the madness lol

Ive more or less gave up and think im gonna setting at 4.5ghz (1.215v)
Everything running sweet for me.

You have found the sweet spot man leave as is or add a touch of BLK for 4.75 or drop the multi and add even more BLK to give same CPU frequency but higher on mem and PCI EX

Dyewitness · 22 Jan 2013 at 18:16

Unfortunately, I cannot master overclocking with the BLK. Id like to but something is holding me back.
I might purchase a higher frequency ram, maybe 1800mhz or so.

If ou are going to buy New RAM I would go 2133mhy as this is teh sweet spot for performance on this platform.

Dyewitness · 28 Jan 2013 at 20:24

2133mhz 8pack?
Any brand in particular??

Get a cas 9 dimm that goes 9-11-10 at 2133mhz.

Like this???

Though you might not like it because it has the word "Dominator" in the name.

lol

I like the Corsair Dominators I have a PSC and a Hynix kit they are great. Its Vengeance I dont like.

Yes that is the kind of kit but if you can just go 2x4gb. Clocks batter!!!

Dyewitness · 2 Feb 2013 at 14:38

just 8gb? I will loose performance when working on my music on my DAW if i drop half the amount.
ps... i was only messing about the Dominator bit lol

Out of interest do you really notice that much of a performance hit? Only I have my macbook pro for logic which has 8GB and I don't ever use it all up. VSTs don't seem to have much of a impact and I don't keep much audio in RAM as I use Ableton for that. 16GB would be a nice sweet spot but any more I think is overkill, I would use a separate interface for stuff like that like a pro tools rack.

Dyewitness · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:06

The more instruments and plugins you use the more ram is used. I've noticed a big difference with 16gb compared to 8. I use Cubase on my hack-mac and performs much better with extra ram. I have external audio interfaces and synths also.
I also use my hack-mac for video editing and rendering.

8Pack,

Ive upgraded my ram to 16GB of GSkill trident X 2400MHZ ram. Do you think this will help my quest to reach 4.8GHZ ?

8 Pack · 28 Mar 2014 at 11:35

Nope!!

Dyewitness · 28 Mar 2014 at 18:15

LOL why not then? DO you think its my motherboard?
I have been looking at the 4930K and the Asus ROG black edition and a OCUK custom watercooled case. Hopefully Ill have no barriers then?

wazza300 · 28 Mar 2014 at 18:22

16gb @2400mhz will be hard to get stable on z77/ivy

it strains the imc needing more voltage,you should manage 2133mhz though

Dyewitness · 28 Mar 2014 at 18:37

Im running at 2400mhz at the moment. No problems so far. Gonna test with some Battlefield 4 for a while.

wazza300 · 28 Mar 2014 at 18:40

idk if you'd manage cpu at 4.8ghz and ram at 2400mhz though
