Avx and overclocking

Define True overclock. That definition varies from one person to another in itself to be honest. Some feel a CPU overclocked should be able to do hours on end with stress tests while others (myself included) are happy that as long as it works for our daily tasks's then you can notch the freqency up another 100MHz-200MHz higher then the same falling over with Prime 95.

In regards to AVX, sure I think its a true overclock also, abit lower overclock compared to your normal overclock. If someone is asking for specific settings about you OC, I would normally mention the speed + offset for AVX / AVX 512.
 
Just updated the bios on my build 8700k/taichi and managed a 5.4ghz overclock with a avx offset of 3 it just came to mind when i sold my 4790k and listed it on ebay the amount of hassle i got saying i had delidded it and i would do 5ghz if you had a decent power suply and it should do the same....
Most were saying if avx was not included it wasn't a true overclock :confused:
 
I wouldn't even try to promise any overclock values in a sale.

You can't guarantee anything about how they run it, they can't be sure if you're lying if it's not doing the same numbers.
 
We sell to many high end businesses in trading, motor sports, engineering, crime and forensics, vfx for example... All these businesses run pc boxes at the high end where the OC is tubed for the workload they do and its this workload you need to quote for stability on.

So for example avx2, avx 512 or none avx and believe me the difference in clock speed achievable especially with full avx 512 is a lot different to none avx.

For me you are selling a chip for gaming so quote gaming and none avx figures. Avx2 will be around 2 bins less and say that.
