4.7 across all cores on an i5 9600K. Been running this OC since I built the machine a few years back. Had no issues, not had to adjust anything for SC.

Yeah that's pretty decent that, i managed a 5.0ghz all core on my 12700K but SC just crashes with it. It works with every other game but this game lol.
Still tweaking so we'll see.
I can get my CPU to run at 5.0Ghz in any game but this one, SC can smell my 5.0Ghz and just says "oh no you don't" *Crash*
"you can have 4.9Ghz, but not a single Mhz more"
I don't know, it can run literally all day long at 4.9Ghz and its rock solid, i guess its not actually stable at 5.0Ghz, stable can be a relative thing, i'm sure if i set one of those multiworkload stress tests running for a couple of days at 5Ghz something in the CPU would probably error before that time is up.
All CPU's have a Mhz celling, a point at which they aren't completely solid no matter how many volts you ram down its socket.
Just tried a 4.9ghz overclock and its held! Starting to think maybe it was the RAM overclock that was causing all the initial issues. Things seem a lot smoother now that im back on XMP settings and just running an overclock on the cpu instead.
Do i dare try a 5.0ghz overclock lol!
do it, go for 5Ghz
Never needed 5Ghz in SC, runs in the 80's + for me most of the time at a lowly 4.4 ish.
Deserter!!!!!

Did one better, managed 5.1ghz haha! So with that in mind i can confirm all my issues with crashing etc was to do with the memory overclock i had done previously. Reverting back to XMP only and now overclocking the cpu only has done the trick.do it, go for 5Ghz

Now that you know the limit of the CPU you can start the memory OCing! Remember, primary timings aren't that important
Ooof i dunno about another memory overclock, i mean i could try the same 6200mhz overclock but loosen the timings quite abit. Not sure how that would even translate to actual performance though with SC.Now that you know the limit of the CPU you can start the memory OCing! Remember, primary timings aren't that important
Nice, makes me want to look at my OC again, i would like to get 5Ghz stable, not that 100Mhz will make any difference at all but its a nice number, 5Ghz.
I've got some really cheap RAM in it, Vulcan Z, £90 for 32GB, 2X 16GB kit, 3200 16-18-18-38-56, i have it running at 3600 18-22-22-42-64, its taken to it really well which i'm chuffed about given a 32GB 3600 18-22-22 kit normally costs about £130.
Its working so well i might try to push it up to 3800, or tighten the timings.
I've got the overclocking itch again, now.
Yes I've got some very good RAM but I'm aware I don't really know enough to get it stable if I start tinkering!Nice, makes me want to look at my OC again, i would like to get 5Ghz stable, not that 100Mhz will make any difference at all but its a nice number, 5Ghz.

Yeah nice numbers are good to look at too haha! I mean now that im on 5.1 im oh so tempted to hit 5.2ghz for a nicer number lol.Nice, makes me want to look at my OC again, i would like to get 5Ghz stable, not that 100Mhz will make any difference at all but its a nice number, 5Ghz.

That is some really nice ram mate and good gains too with the overclock. Intrigued as to how big of a difference it really makes.
I think with mine it really is down to timing issue, i bet the same 6200mhz overclock but loosen the timings somewhat would really help and get it stable for SC. Shame really as my previous clock ran with everything but not SC.
I usually just start with XMP then up the mhz until it doesn't boot, up the voltage and try again. Up the voltage to your at a comfortable level and see what clocks you can reach without a crash. Once you're happy start doing the timings one at a time.
What's the safe voltage for B die?

I'd recommend not going over 1.5v daily but there's multiple variables to it especially how well they're cooled. And remember that XMP settings are often not "good" settings. If you're interested in more, in depth, vids have a look at some Buildzoid 's stuff. Have a search around here as well for people with the same memory as that might help with some starting points.
Thanks, I watch his stuff sometimes. Looking for a quick win rather than tweaking for a weekSquadron 42 Monthly Report: June 2022 - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42

He knows his stuff but I'm not sure I've got the patience to squeeze everything out of it. If I can go 3800MHz 1900 IF with 1.5V that could be a decent improvement. Good RAM, motherboard and CPU should have a chance... I'll have to give it a try this weekend.

Hey all, I tried out seige of orison event just now and wow this is such a epic mission to do if you are an fps fan. Not much hand holding. Very similar to arma and you have to listen to the npc telling us the objective and use the synege around the place to figure out where to go etc. There's no magic map at all that tells u where u and your allies are like even in arma 3, its up to you and your allies to communicate and look where to go.
Still needs work though but mainly because the enemy npc just stand there most of the time.. Server tick rate is bad. Server meshing can't come any quicker.
Other players still keep dsyncing a lot. It's just as bad if not worse than 3.17.1 live but overall the event has potential to be something special..
Dare I say this but I think they should not release this event until server meshing is in

I've watched most of it on a combination of streams now.
The largest thing I took away from it was the normal chaos of players not working together and being on the same team. They were just wee groups of solo players running around all over the place.
It looked a good, long mission but I do wonder if it should be more strict with the group sizes. It looked as if it simply needed more communication between the players overall.

Sorry slow replies! Had to deal with some serious rubbish today, attempted break in at our home... fortunately only broken the bifold door window but not gone through.
Anyway! What Cantan said, not above 1.5v especially if you're only doing a mild overclock. I would probs work from 1.35v which is usually at your xmp level and see how far you can push from there. Once you lose stability or crash then push voltages until you're happy with the mhz you've reached. Play with timings from there, xmp timings are usually abit slower than what the kit is capable of so should be some headroom especially on bdie.
I'm a wizard tonight!!! Managed to get 6000mhz stable with
38-40-40-76 2T
1.4v VDD
1.4v VDDQ
CPU SA 1.15v
IVR VDDQ 1.4v
IMC 1.3v
VDD switching freq 1.5
VDDQ switching freq 1.5
Played for over an hour without crashing! Tried the same settings at 6200mhz but crashed after 15 mins. I have a feeling that it could be stable if i disable RxDfe but i've read it only really matters when you run the memory out of your motherboards spec.
