Newbie here guys, needing some help.
As per thread title.
Tried using the fully auto tool first. Gave 4.3 GHz and upped base freq too. Temps were in mid 80s using Prime95.
Found a youtube guide for manually doing 4.5GHz. Voltage manually set to 1.35, bclk 100. Tried an IBT and temps got up to 95 on a 10x cycle on high, but it didn't crash and completed test.
I am a bit concerned about those temps though. I think max Vcore was just over 1.4.

Would appreciate some help setting this up. 4.3 or ideally 4.5 would be good.
My cooler is an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 pro Rev2.
8Gb DDR3, Win10.
Thanks
Iain
 
Thanks for replying.
Had LLC set to extreme.
Found a good video on YT which has helped me understand what to do and should apply to oc's generally. Got a better grasp of things now.
I'll try from scratch tonight & report back. 4.5 would be a good result.
Cheers
Iain
 
Not had opportunity tonight, too busy watching that vid and getting my head round the basics.:(
Will start voltage low and increase multiplier gradually etc and see where I get to.
Might need to pop cooler off and give everything a good clean. Will need to get some TIM before I do that, but hope to get a good bit over stock before I need to.
Thanks again :)
 
Ok, progress report.
Started at bottom and worked up.
Got to 3.9GHz @ manual 1.215v 74max temp in 2 cores, others were 2 lower. Tested for 30min in OCCT. LLC on ultra, turbo on, eist on.
Am I on the right track?
I will continue tomorrow night, temps might limit progress I think.
Zipp0r, I'll give your settings a try too.
Thanks for the help guys :D

Thought i would try using the offset method suggested.
+ 0.015 for multi 44 , pll overv off and llc high - got BSOD and uncorrectable error message on windows start. Same when using +0.020. So that went well!:(:confused:

Trying manual again now.

Iain:confused::confused:
 
Well some more progress :D
Using manual I have it up to 4.1GHz on 1.235v. (cpu-z reports 1.240). Stable for 30min on OCCT. Max temp was 77 on a couple of cores. Think I still had LLC on ultra.
Like to get temps lower, so I'm not going to push it further till I pop cooler off and put some kryonaut on and give bits a good clean.
VID was reporting as 1.39v under load. Does that mean I could give it a go with Offset at 0.15 or maybe less?
Thanks for the input guys:)
Iain
 
Sorry mate, not really understanding this offset thing.
At 4.1GHz Vc manual stable at 1.240v, VID reports as 1.390v under load.
I'm not getting how to work out what offset to try. Looks like +0.15 but you're saying 10x less?:confused::confused:
Stable on manual, but I want suss this offset stuff:(

Did some more tests.
At 4.1 LLC off, auto offset Vc under load is 1.304. With med LLC Vc is 1.336v. Temps are higher though. It's stable at manual 1.240 with LLC on Ultra.
With LLC off and +0.040 offset, Vc under load is 1.296.
I'm still not getting it. Never thought i was so thick!:mad::mad::o. Obviously missing something :D
 
Have removed cooler etc. Used Kryonaut paste.
Now running a few degrees cooler than before.
It's stable at 4.1, haven't had time to take it further. When I do, I'll try sneaking it up to 4.5 and only then will I try again with that offset stuff.
Thanks for the help so far guys :D
