4.5ghz @ 4.5ghz Uncore @Low Voltage

4.6ghz @ 4.6ghz Uncore @Low Voltage

Been tweaking some other profiles for my system bios and this is what i run my i7 4770k @ when i had it previously with a gigabyte z87oc board and upgraded to i7 4790k on a gigabyte z97Soc Force board.

as you can see though check those temps :) running cpu @ 1.200v 4.5 and 1.215 @4.6 selected in bios.
running AVX instruction new prime....

think i just found my new 24/7 Summer Profiles :)

Not saying you do but i bet your board on auto vring is spitting out something stupid for 4.7ghz uncore stability.
would be surprised if it wasn't, in fact what is your ring voltage @, @ 4.7uncore ?

All programs just say "auto" and don't give a actual value, auto according to the BIOS is 1.050V

In other news just banged another 5 secs off with a 48X multi.

Ok you may have just found out for me why i need insaine ring voltage to get any uncore past 4.6 stable :D

VRIN is the key : your running 1.220v and i was running 1.900v
just changed it and set auto on vring and my system is stable at auto vring and 4.7 uncore :D

------------------------------------------
check it out WOOOOT :D
My temps have jumped up though with higher vrin but there pretty ok still.

i need to find out if 1.220v is safe for 24/7 or is my chip going to explode
as when i use prime95 or ibt ect the vrin voltage flickers between 1.220v-1.230v, hmmmmm

need to do some research,,, in the mean time check this out guys :D

See!!! 47X ring with autoV, it is possible.

Is that Vrin safe to use?

He says 2.4 on air is ok.

You do have nice memory though i still have more tweaking to do.. :D
my memory sucks in comparison lol
AVX test still pumps out the heat though hahaha though my temps are still great :)

got my memory @2400 now :) lol
and yeah if those experts say 2.4v is max on air and we are on 2.2v is on water well im not sure about you though im safe gulp lol

Well, had system 8 hours stable at 4.8/1.35v in aida stability test, but failed first test of cinebench.

Upped the switch rates to max, and set vrin llc from high to turbo and was passing cinebench - but failed real bench.

Upped the vrin from 1.9 to 2.0, and looking good for real bench.

Guess it's important to keep in mind there is more to getting these guys stable at higher clocks than just upping the vcore.

I WILL have this chip running 24/7 at 4.8! I don't know why so determined, but meh.

Worth saying I left off playing with cpu clocks until I was sure I had memory stable at 2400.

Not touching uncore until I am sure I am stable where I am.

Must remember to note down my settings in case board bios plays silly buggers again with me.
 
Finally ! I can join the club (just not the de-lid club)

it arrived at home @ 9 am. ... now I'm stuck at work looking at the Mainboard that arrived here !

So, anyone thoughts on the Gigabyte z97x-ud5h-bk black-edition ?

decent clocker for these Devils ?

I opened the box for a sneak peek.... it looks Puuuurrrty !

So it sounds like neither of you have read the Z97 overclocking guide?

http://www.overclock.net/t/1490835/the-gigabyte-z97x-overclocking-guide

And are trying some "guess work" overclocking.

And eyetrip are you back to using the Gigabyte board now?

Apart from a brief stint using x79 + 3960x have not really stopped using it.

I did read that guide and followed it's advice - but that was a little while back, before I had a remotely stable system.

Must say, some of it's advice I am a bit weary of - such as pushing the vrin up to 2.4V... sounds iffy to me.

Plus a guide is just that - a guide. Each system is different, so yeah, there has been some guessing my side :)
 
No







:)


Good luck.

I know 5ghz is a pipe dream for this chip, so am happy so long as I can get 4.8.

I don't like the odd numbers like 4.9 and 4.7.... Though 4.75 wouldn't bother me either.
