Good Vcore on sandybridge?

Danzo · 14 Jun 2013 at 20:08

Hey guys this is my first attempt at playing with the voltages on my sandybridge 2700k. I've done over-clocking in the past but usually just adjusting the BCLK or multiplier and never really gave much attention to the Vcore.

Can I go any lower than this(for better thermals) or is this my limit on sandy :cool:

(there's a mistake in the image it should read 4300MHz)

Thanks

(I did an auto-overclock with the asus Turbo-V EVO which took me to 4.2GHz I then adjusted the BCLK and the multiplier to get me to a nice round 4.3GHz, then i noticed the Vcore was way over 1.3 volts so i've toned it down a notch. there should be an image below with clock speeds thermals and Vcore)

auto-overclock always adds more Vcore than is necessary.

Aim for 1.25V for nice cool temps before gunning for high clocks

So do you recon with 1.25 I could aim for 4.5GHz with nice thermals?
Because previously with auto clocks and using only the multiplier i was getting 70+ C on full load at 4.5GHz

70C sounds reasonable @ 1.3V

But aim to find the max clock you can get from 1.25V first..... in other words walk before you jump

Ok I'll give that a shot

I'm on air cooling also will I just keep BCLK at a constant 100.00 I'm not to sure if that affects voltage?

Ok so prime 95 and windows just crashed after hitting 4.7GHz

any advice?

I need 1.4v for 4.7ghz stable on my 2600k.

In the OP, why does the RealTemp screen show clock modulation at 75%?

To be honest I'm not sure why that is because I seen it my self and checked the screen shot against real temp while it was running and there was no "clock modulation" so I have no idea sorry.
