First overclock help!

Yeah,offset gets added to the default voltage,keep your eye on the stress load CPU v,anything under 1.4v is safe and 80 to 85c load stress temps,Max safe for qpi/vtt is 1.4v but you won't need that much

I reckon you might need anything from 1.3v to 1.35v load CPU v for 4ghz
 
ha! wazza, you were basically spot on.

this is what i have edged up to. it just passed a 3 loop of intelburntest, il stress for longer but looking good. Max temp stayed at 80. i must say again, not bad for a £30 air cooler. Looking at these settings so far, can you tell if the 950 i have is going to be a good clocker? vcore is at the bottom end of your estimate for 4Ghz. better cooling needed ofcourse.

Vcore - 1.30625v
QPI - 1.35v
IOH - 1.16v

I would say its slightly above average with 1.3v for 4ghz,you should reach 4.2ghz with 1.35v or round abouts

and yh not bad for a budget cooler,but a top end cooler would improve temps even more

have you tried to lower the cpu v?
 
i will have to make adjustments, rig has been on since 11am but just got blue screen while browsing net, so its not stable.

would lowering the bclk and increasing the multiplier so it stays at 4ghz give me a chance at getting it stable? then maybe i can take an increment or 2 off the vcore to help temps? am i on the right track thinking like this?

iv set the vcore manual by the way, dont have an offset now.

got the ram up to 1758Mhz qpi - 1.33125v

auto timings are 9 9 9 24

it passed 5 loop of intelburntest :O

i want 1800Mhz :)


it wont let me use x24 or x25 multiplier for cpu. keeps settings itself to x23. whys that?
