Bang tidy good job m8 whats the settings at?
Im finding 5ghz to be a wicked temptress who currently aint ready to give it up lol
Much gain at 4.9ghz over my 4.8ghz cinebench score? Be interesting to see hiw much gain to be had I got 8.37 @ 4.8ghz
Will post over the next few days matey.
5ghz just doesn't want to play. I thought I was stable yesterday but not prime stable and the pc just felt a little strange to use.
Happy at 4.9ghz and BF3 is great to play ultra at around 80 - 90fps

Cheers dude would be good to see
And bf3 80-90 what more could you want good going.
Im still gonna push for 5ghz just to say I did it or thats the plan I think its doable with low voltage and temps I currently have, plenty of head room

You've got the 970 EVO board, right? 4.9GHz on that is great, you'd normally need a higher end board.
Take it you've stepped up from what you had?

Hi Guys
Some 5Ghz Goodness
Tried her under water today, big waste of time. With a twin rad and EK block (i already had so no cash spent) Temps were up higher than the Dark Rock Pro 2, so thats back on now.
Seen my temps get into the 80's at 5Ghz but hey for a £115 chip I'm not complaining.
Have her settled in at 4.8 with a 4 core turbo of 5Ghz need to enable C states now and enjoy some power saving!!
Most fun I've had since my Bulldozer back in 2011.

I thought c state had to be disabked for stability when overclocking

think im right in saying that the power saving features / c states do help stability when going for those high clocks.. but for everyday use power saving is a nice thing to have.. even if your not at your peak performance

Ayi they do, but there will be a happy medium to be had. I have them disabled at the minute. Like a sauna near my rig just now lol!

Right, had a good evening on BF3, running at 4.6Ghz and temps doing great, barely touching 50° on the core and socket not hitting 60°
So, why not try 4.7ghz? Half hour in and system crash. Ok fair enough, back to 4.6Ghz . . nope another system crash! This time BSOD!
Right, this is p*ssing me off. So finally, in hindsight I should have done this sooner, I download a bluescreen error reader. Both crashes, infact the last seven crashes were down to this driver - atikmdag.sys
Google tells me this is a display driver issue, anyone come accross it?

Yes, do you have your GPU overclocked? what PSU do you have? the CPU might be sucking up to much power which is causing the GPU to crap out, try running a CPU overclock without the GPU overclocked.
Associate
Yeh GPU is overclocked to 1200/1350. Power supply is a 600w Coolermaster silent pro, I thought that would be plenty?
I was on the 13.10 beta driver, but I've rolled back to the 13.9 which I think is an official release so maybe that might help?

How much did you push your FSB? On this boards BIOS I can lock the bus with the GPU on, could only be a setting change.
Nope, I got the board you spec'd up for me
I can cinebench and pass AIDA64 at 5.0ghz no problem, however does not pass any of Prime.
Will try and get the settings up tonight.
