Learning to OC

OverDrive · 23 Oct 2014 at 17:11

Guys,

I built my rig 2 years ago for my flight sims, but only really scratched the surface on overclocking. I have been using the options in ASUS AI Suite. I know the pros do it via the BIOS, I'm not there yet! Is there an alternative to AI suite that I can use that is compatible with my mobo (in sig).
Thank you.

best way is to do it in the bios

main voltages to adjust and get right are vtt/imc,cpu voltage/offset and the loadline calibration level

what did you want to oc to?

What would be reasonable for my 3770K? I have a good Phanteks twin fan cooler.

4.5ghz-4.6ghz I would have thought,before volts or temps would limit you

you can try

cpu/pcie clock to 100
loadline calibration to high
45x cpu multiplier
cpu voltage to offset then set offset to +0.020v
set phase control to extreme

make a note of what the load cpu voltage and the core temps are while stressing in windows

Will do, thank you Wazza! May be able to get some more FPS.

msi afterburner to oc the gpu will get you a few more fps

same principle...up the core/ram and voltages a bit at a time and use heaven to test and keep eye on temps
