Over clocking help

how can i get whea error logs or does prime 95 have a log i switched to prime 95 (over OCCT) to give both a chance and prime made my comp restart after about 10 mins is this just a case of before i need to up the volts, although i dont understand why OCCT would run for around 3hrs. yet prime would stop after so little time.
 
Look in event viewer for whea warnings,CPU parity warning or memory warnings

Usually its games that crash to desktop amd its fixed with a touch more CPU voltage/dvid
 
Ok wazza got it running and what I thought was fineish lol after an hour I notice it was only using 75 percent cpu, turns out one core had a fatal error saying "rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4"

Instruct me oh wise one lol
 
if 16gb of memory you might need a touch more cpu/vtt than stock 1.05v maybe 1.08v-1.1v,if just 8gb it will be fine on stock 1.05v

dram voltage can be anything from 1.55v to 1.65v,i don't know what ram you have
but my Samsung green is fine at 2133mhz and 1.55v dram and stock 1.05v cpu/vtt

try one/two clicks more cpu voltage or dvid,you could even try one level higher llc and two clicks less dvid voltage and see how much it uses

also set the bclk to 100
vcore voltage response to fast and pwm phase control to extreme
 
you should be fine with ram,you can try 1.55v dram though if you want,it wont hurt it,till you know your 100% stable then lower it back to 1.5v

i'd still say a touch more cpu v
 
are you @ 4.5ghz now?

each cpu is different in howmuch voltage it needs,aslong as temps are below 80c your ok
 
You cant compare a 2500k to a 3570k in regards to temps. The latter is a hotter running chip, this is due to it using thermal paste between the cores and the integrated heat spreader. The earlier gen intel i series cpu's use solder which dissipates the heat much better. The only way to overcome this is to remove the heatspreader and replace the paste intel used with a better aftermarket brand. Off course though this validates the warranty.

I'm familiar with the difference, I was just surprised to see temps that high on water.
 
Even on very high end custom water cooling, theese are hard to cool. Shame that intel cheaped out. When delidded and decent paste is used, they can run extremely cool with very high overclocks.
 
i stopped at 4.4ghz at 1.88 v just now till i can try this dvid mode sounds better but since i have dual bios ill switch it and try i there so i have my have stable one here Prime95 ran for 15 hrs before i stopped it myself no error and didnt break 61c so i think its stable lol id like to that you guys for all yoru help and wazza im trying to find your post about dvid on the TT website so if some of your settigns will work for me
 
OK mighty wazza i have been reading up on this and says if i find stock voltage i assume this is the voltage in the bios when i fire it up (1.140v ) then oc thr fixed voltage way which i have done to find what you need e.g my 4.4ghz needs 1.200v to run stable then I

Subtract stock from needed to find my offset or dvid eg 1.200v
-1.1.40v
= 0.06

so how do i go about this now do i go to dvid and put my multiplyer to 44 and then go to dvid and enter = 0.06?

it only goes up in 0.005v increments plus you have to allow what loadline calibration adds,that adds another chunk of voltage depending on what level llc you use

so its best to trial and error on dvid and start low then stress cpu and see how much cpu voltage is used and adjust the dvid to get it to 1.2v at load,you might even need to use a negative dvid -0.0ect to undervolt the cpu slightly
 
Im quite happy dude my setting are pretty much the same as yours on the post but i didnt have to adjust ram voltage im running the 4.4ghz with the +0.10 dvid ( been primiming since i said id try itso thats about 3 and abit hours and not had any errors (touch wood) temps have never gone above 60c
