4770k overclocking guide?

[nick.lidgett]

Is there a 4770k overclocking guide for retards knocking about? Maybe on an MSI board with screenies?

Im lost trying to oc my chip, im confused with all the new bits and bobs compared to my old 2600k

I can do something basic very quickly yes. Just to get people started. It wont be in depth though so people will have to ask supplementary stuff.

Hi,

While we are waiting for the master to reply - have a look at this for a good guide to ocing on Haswell.

Take it step by step, and see how you go.

I'm a noob at overclocking and I got 4.4 lol

Just fiddle with it for a bit!

 

[8 Pack]

The best way to do this is aim for 4.4 - 4.5 first.
Go 44 multi
Vcore 1.25
Cache 1.15
LLC top available.
DDR at XMP
DDR volts 1.65v
SA 1.15 or + 0.15 offset
IOD 1.15 or + 0.2 offset
IOA 1.15 or + 0.2 offset

test..... use as you would normally no silicon torture nonsense.

Then go up to 46 multi and test maybe adding a touch of Vcore top Vcore being around 1.3v

Next work on Uncore ratio. Try 42 first then 43 etc etc using Cache Volts to stabalise.

Any questions post back.....

Hey thanks for the update, i cant find LLC in my asus formula z87 bios, is it the initial cpu input voltage? i can only change the amount of voltage on it there isnt an option to set it to extreme etc

Edit: nvm i found it, its in extreme tweaker and Digi power control, im guessing i should be using level 8?

 

[nick.lidgett]

Thank you mr 8pack sir, merry christmas

 

[nick.lidgett]

Is uncore the same as ring ratio?

I currently have a 4.4ghz overclock using 8 packs settings from this thread. But after applying my overclock my pc boots up, shuts down after two seconds and then immediatly boot up again this time fine. i tested it on battlefield 4 for an hour and no crash. is this fine or a sign of unstable?

 

[jimmy321]

My old I7 used to do the same on cold boot with OC, turn on them off the boots fine. I would say your PC will be fine.

 

[a66as]

i reset my overclock and it stopped doing it, ill play around with it more this weekend and see if i can come to a conclusion

 

[Nickolp1974]

Every asus board I have owned does the dual boot thing, completely normal and there is a way to stop it but I can't remember how

Not sure if it's linked to memory training or the Bclk

 

[whyscotty]

It's a Asus quirk - nothing to worry about

I remember this happening on my p6t dlx v2 a few times, (1/20) boots. Cpu was at 4.2ghz, qpi volts at 1.35 iirc. After the second boot it went into os fine, played games, encoded hd video for hours on end. I know on some asus boards, if you turn power off at the wall plug to go inside your case, they will do the double boot thing. I asked on the asus forum years ago about this, was told its normal. Was a strap setting and mem check thing, as on s775 you used fsb-mem straps when doing front side bus overclocking.

 

[a66as]

So far i got 4.4ghz stable with 1.275v

 

[8 Pack]

Its has to reboot to train memory correctly. Its not a problem. some times it will cycle to code 79 several times to train correct settings.

Your overclock is fine.

got my i7 470k with asus formula vi board at 4.4 with 1.265v stable with the 8 pack settings.

But wondered is it normal for the voltage to be constant 1.265v even when the system is on idle? and is it safe for 24/7 use?
