4.8ghz on 3770k

BSOD

I hit the windows key to start searching for an item and i got a blue screen.

Any in put on this?

I didnt get a blue screen for the first 30 mins when the VCCSA was set to 1.1 (red) Im not sure if this matters

Ive started running a second stability test under aida64 with the VCCSA set to 1.05 (now pink)

Looking good. That's not bad for a 3770K temps-wise. Things may get a bit toasty if you go for 5GHz though. Are you just looking to bench it or run it 24/7 at these clocks? If everything looks good stability-wise at 4.8GHz you could run that quite happily 24/7. Your temps may go up over time if your cooler gets saturated, but it'd be rare to have that in real use unless you are doing really long encodes, and even then.

E: spoke to soon! What BSOD error code did it give you?

I definitely will not be running 24/7 at these temps lol I just want to get the highest clock achievable. I just use this machine for gaming on windows and music production in OSX.

Well, if you can get it stable without adding to your voltages then you could use it 24/7. Stress testing is going to heat up your cores more than everyday use, so it'd only be high volts and electromigration I'd be worried about. Keep the volts under control and you could have a 4.8GHz 24/7 rig, which is pretty tasty.
 
You are fine under 1.1 on VTT yes. At higher temps and clocks the memory controller can become flackey so this may indeed help.

If temps are an issue and the linear relationship between frequency added and voltage needed is going askew back off and those are your 24/7 clocks. This in your case sounds like 4.7.

So are VCCSA and VTT the same thing?
 
It may do yes. temps seem fine. When the strain on the silicon is too much it tells you this by the amount of extra voltage needed to gain somewhere near stability. When this extra voltage goes up a lot dont go any further.
 
Blue Screen at 40 mins.

But, It said that the reason for the BSOD was due to Saffire.sys, a driver error.
Saffire is my firewire audio interface. Has it got a driver problem?

Chris


Update:
I have found that there is a newer version of the driver available. Ill install this and see what happens on next stability test.

That's getting pretty warm now. Something to consider: If you don't plan on running this 24/7, then why bother stress testing? Run some benches and screenshot the results, then back it off to 4.7GHz and enjoy. Either that or pile on the volts and do a suicide run for 5GHz and get a quick superpi in before it crashes out :p

Could be, but if it was a memory issue it could just be that file that was in the sector that failed at the time.

What should I use to bench?

Ok, im a bit lost now lol

How does this superpi work. I performed a 1M test and the results are as follows:

yeah thats right, superpi 1m is a quick test for when doing suicide runs, so its just to say that the machine can do this quick test at this speed without bsod

heres one i did, and i only just managed to save screenshot before it froze
