***Official Ivybridge Overclock Thread***

yep you get smoke from it and im sure i can see flames but hey intel said its safe so 24/7 max temps all the way for me

 

[reddev85]

Well 105c is the point that the CPU will start throttling down to protect itself.

You really want to be staying well below that for everyday use.

I've been priming mine at 4.5ghz with 1.2v for a couple of hours now with max temps of 67 with none of my fans over 900rpm. That's pretty much what I wanted so I'm happy I went with IB. I was getting a little worried with all the comments about the heat and everything, but that seems perfectly fine to me for a 24/7 overclock. It will even run IBT while only hitting low 70s.

Spoiler

What cooler is that using? (I looked above but nothing).

I was getting a little worried I changed my order from a 2500k to the 3750k due to all the comments about heat. This makes me feel a bit better... lol

I'm using a Noctua NH-D14 with the low noise adapters on the fans. It's nice and quiet

Got my build mostly built today... hope OCUk ship my RAM tommorow :/

I'm being a lazy a by not building - really shattered at the moment - what RAM are you going for ?

 

[Ollie1132]

Got some Low profile corsair vengeance to match the high heat sink ones I already have (hoping the high ones MAY fit under the fan... big hope)

 

[hanluc]

My chip does that too running prime. One core will always be about 5c cooler than the rest. I have no idea why that happens

Well I have one core running around 6c more than the rest.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Iron file on standby.

I need to experiment more with RAM - Getting tired of tried,tested and trusted crucial.

Samsung green seems way over priced imho

 

[Ollie1132]

Corsair is meant to be quite Over priced. But to be fair I quite like everything Corsair makes hence why I went black vengeance to begin with

My i5 3750k is showing vcore of 1.33v at stock? This cannot be right, surely?

See how high can you put your multiplier and stay stable? Id say it's worth a try.

 

[the_director]

Will do. Has taken me a few hours just to get Windows up and running and all the various drivers installed. Was a bit of a mare getting my wireless adapter installed.

An SSD does make a huge difference though.

 

[Ollie1132]

Ahah I have a problem that I thought my mobo had an IDE connecter and it doesn't facedesk since I have no cash for an SSD oh well xD

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Put it this way.... Your CPU/memory and chipset are so fast that even using a SATA3 SSD is a bottleneck. Anything less and you're wasting your machine away

 

[Ollie1132]

True but I only have an IDE HDD currently and no cash for an SSD Im sacrificing speed for now I guess... going to use an external for now somehow :c

The Crucial M4 is a bargain today, only a few left.

Anyway, vcore now a sensible 1.186 on full load. I had accidentally auto-overclocked to 4.4ghz by accident before!

Still getting used to this motherboard!

 

[Ollie1132]

I see yeah I saw the crucial but I only have £160 left till the end of may... £90 is a bit much to spend currently.

Have you got any tips to overclocking with the new Asus boards? I have the Asus p8z77-v Pro and I am struggling to get my head around the best way to overclock my 3570K as when I enter into windows my multiplier flies around. I also did the auto tune thing as well.
