Restert loop after over clock of non-k cpu.

[rn2]

I changed the BLCK settings and my computer works fine once it is up and running... I Just started up my computer the next day and it was in a restart loop until I held down the power button to switch it off during the process and it started okay.

I changed the BLCK from auto to manual and then set it at 106.0 and this started happening so I changed it to 105.0 and it only does it twice before starting up on its own so obviously something in my computer doesn't like the over clock, oh well, I just set the BLCK settings back to default be fore shutting down the computer for the night and when I start it back I up I reset the computer to set the BLCK settings to desired numbers when I am gaming.

If anyone has any tips apart from not increasing the BLCK numbers? If not no worries and thank you.

I would probably buy a whole new case as well and I'm not sure but maybe have to buy a new motherbooard, I'll have to check what I have, it's an Asus and about 4 years old and was fitted with the current CPU, the only thing I've upgraded was the GPU to a 1070.

I've read a bit into the turbo too and it sounds impressive plus the fact that the CPU in general is just fast.

Just what I needed to know

Yes but I have the non K version which is 3.6 to 4ghz and are those results before overclocking? I guess they are.

My motherboard is an Asus z97k by the way.

The reason I was thinking of upgrading was because I play some very cpu intensive games and Jurassic World Evolution is out soon, they made Planet Coaster and that game would get some very low fps for all users when the park was full and big.

At least every second new Intel CPU "generation" needs new motherboards regardless that actual changes in CPU are minimal/non-existing.
AMD is lot better in that with current AM4 going to be used up to 2020, with CPU architecture upgrade of Zen2 in next winter fitting to it along with its tweak year later.


Non-K 8700 won't be giving that much of those highest boost clocks in any motherboard even remotely following Intel's specified 65W TDP for CPU.

And if Intel is going to release 8 core Coffe Lake they're going to have to drop base clocks/multi core boosts notably or TDP goes through roof.

So basically I won't see the stock boost clock on an 8700k because of the temps?

Anyway it would seem that it would mount up to £600 after updating the motherboard and case too so probably not worth it for an extra 10 fps lol.

I’m running my non K 4790 at 4.1Ghz on all cores.
Bios mod + increased base clock.
But that’s still not enough to always stay above 60fps in some games.

has it made any noticeable difference?

If I had a Core i7 4790K I would probably wait for Ryzen 3 and whatever Intel has out next year TBH.

I agree but mostly also because the cost with a new case and motherboard completely out weighs the performance boost. Plus it's the non k.

 

[rn2]

yeah it helped a bit but as I said earlier still not enough for some games.

Well if its possible it might be worth a go, I'll post my specs later.

Asus Z97k

M E Version 9.1.1.1000
Bios Version 0330 x64
Build Version 2014

Not sure if this helps as to weather I can change the max turbo clock speed.

 

[rn2]

Oops,but even with the non-K,as long as you have a better cooler than the stock cooler,I would try and raise the TDP limit as that should help with the CPU being able to boost a bit higher.

I will try to find a tutorial on how to do it but unless I'm mistaken a couple of people on this thread are discussing that its not possible to.
