Help OC 3930k on GA-X79-UD5

embalse · 3 May 2012 at 18:27

This is my first attempt at OC with a Gigabyte bios and I am a bit lost.

I assume no one uses EasyTune6, they use the Bios.

To start with I want to achieve 4300 which seems straight forward.

When I go into the MIT as you see here ...

I should be able to tweak the settings but it all seems locked.

If someone has OC using this Bios can you give me some pointer?

Thanks

Funny, I was just watching it when you posted..

Can't really go wrong with Dino's guide but he was using a much older BIOS revision.

That's the problem anyway I have found out why hitting return/Double_Click did not change Auto to Manual mode as you need to hit the + - keys to do that.

One step closer.

To reach 4.37GHz

Taken from here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmNVBWmRm8Q&feature=player_embedded

Advance Fequencey Settings
BCLK/PCIe Clock Control - Manual
Processor Base Clock (Gear Ratio) 1.25
CPU Clock 35

Advance CPU Core Features
CPU Thermal Monitor Disable

Does anyone have any better tweaks?

Hmm, I'm not sure that leaving voltage to auto would be what you want for 4.37. If it's anything like my Asus, it'll raise vcore as it sees fit. His temps seemed pretty low, though, but we don't know the cooling. No idea why thermal monitor disable, but then I don't got a Gigabyte

Have an explore with it and get the flavour, is all I can advise.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The voltage is set at 1.265v Auto.

If I up the voltage what increments do you suggest?
Should my first try be say 1,270v?

I go up by 0.02, just me being lazy. 1.265 sounds about right for 4.375 though. 4.2 is 1.215 and 4.4 is around 1.3 on mine.

Yes I don't think it is a Voltage issue, but thanks for the increase tip.
I think I must be not doing something wrong with the "Processor Base Clock (Gear Ratio)", because.....

If for example I set the....
Processor Base Clock (Gear Ratio) to it's default 1
CPU Clock Ratio to 40.
This gives me 4.00GHz and it posts OK.

Then if I go back and set the...
Processor Base Clock (Gear Ratio) to 1.25
and set the CPU Clock Ratio back to the default 32.
This gives me the same 4.00GHz, but it does not post.

So for some reason it does not like me ajusting the Processor Base Clock (Gear Ratio) or I need to change something else.

Your memory clock has gone up to 2000, probably why. I think you'll find 1666 is an option, try setting memory to that.

Hey, many thanks.

That was the problem. 1666 solved the issue and it is running nice @4.375GHz

Nice one! I was running 12 hyperthreads of BOINC earlier with a couple of job graphics up, a bunch of other stuff like CPU-Z and browsers, and playing Eve online with two clients. Didn't miss a beat, didn't go over 65 C. It's got torque, this chip

Yep it is a great chip. Having lots of fun.

So far my voltage has been set to auto, but I am going to set the Voltage or at least play with it. Are there any other parameters I need to change Voltage wise if I set the Voltage to say, 1,265v @4.375GHz

Thanks

Isn't it better not to change the BLCK freq and just do multiplier and Vcore? Got mine to 4.5 that way.

Not sure whether it's best to change the BLCK freq.
I think both ways get the same result.

What vcore setting have you achieved @4.5?

metalmackey · 6 May 2012 at 13:28

Think I set it at 1.405v IIRC

w3bbo · 6 May 2012 at 17:53

Most chips do not clock much further than 105-110 on the baseclock so the multipliers are the way to go.

Andrew Moore · 19 May 2012 at 13:47

Try a baseclock of around 123-126 with a strap of 125.

Couple that with a 38 multi and you have yourself at 4.7-4.8ghz

1.4v would be fine too.

Setting your memory multi to 16 would see you at 1968-2016mhz which if your using 2000mhz ram would be fine.

If not, drop the RAM multi a little to say 12.

Thanks for the suggestioms.
Setting the ram multi to 16 = no boot for me so I had to lower the ram multi.
