show your sandy bridge 24/7 clocks and volts

Nice OC ^^. Thats right at the 'supposed' safe limit 1.368 right?

What offset setting are you using to get that?

qbazdz · 10 Nov 2011 at 10:34

Davefran, you either have a great chip or know how to handle this mobo

Cant get any less than 1.41V for stable 4.8...

I'm assuming this is okay for a first overclock? Passed 10 passes of IBT.

I need 1.38V to do 4.8GHZ however I'm having trouble with vdroop and correctly setting the bios. I've just set 1.340v level 7, when a lot of load is put onto it (intel burn test) the volts go upto 1.401V.

Small amount of load and it shows 1.368V

This is what I found out a few days ago too. I overclocked mine to 4.5Ghz with LLC set to "Normal" which is equivalent to zero compensation and it's running pretty well. If I go up higher (clock speed) I will need more voltage abviously but I don't want to push my voltage more than 1.3, so I will settle with 4.5Ghz for now.

Question:
Do you really have to enable vdroop (LLC) when overclocking?

Found i needed to add 0.05 voltage to my overclock to survive the golden 20 runs without fail.

Here's mine after a few tweaks. My motherboard has a wierd thing with LLC where it just doesn't seem to work. So this is without LLC vcore set to normal and DVID set to +0.03. This kept the volts pretty much bang on 1.344. 8hrs primed and imediately before that, 20 runs of burn test using 12Gb of memory!

4.8ghz at 1.34, very nice indeed.

pll overvoltage?

ehhhh good question!

EDIT: Just checked, it's set to auto.

I'm stable at 4.6 but I'm trying to push it to 4.8

Is there a program that monitors INternal CPU PLL Overvoltage?

Not as far as I know man but it would be very handy. Good luck with your oc!

Here's mine at 4.8Ghz now:

BIG BIG problem. computer won't come out of sleep. I'm going back to 4.6 arrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whipgeez · 14 Jan 2012 at 12:42

i'm happy enough with that

ppl overvoltage is set to auto (p8z68-v), how does this actually work?

what would ppl say a safe max voltage would be? 1.4v?

just tried intel burn test and the voltage goes up to 1.352 but on prime they stay at 1.328-1.336, what gives with the extra voltage in the burn test? llc is at ultra high
