The Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

running OCCT for a few hours maximum temp I got on the hottest core was 73c @ 1.31v vcore. In a normal BF4 evening, looking at my overlay temps don't even hit 70c and that's only on the medium fan speed with these SP120 High Performance. Think I might have a little more room, would be a massive achievement getting to 5GHz from 3.5GHz stock clock #epicOC lmao

I also have it set so when not gaming ie just on desktop etc, it throttles to 1.6GHz and only uses .98v so I guess I'm saving quite a bit of life by not having it scream @ 4.8GHz 24/7

5ghz on a haswell for 24/7 use is a definite no no. Theese things will easily hit the mid 90's at stick with anything like occt/p95. Though at 4.7 its a good bit faster than a 5ghz sandy chip.

yeah you've achieved a terrific OC on that 4970 setter mate, you definitely hit the lottery there. 4.8GHz with this Ivy I7 is blisteringly fast, I can only imagine what a 4970 feels like at the same speed.

I do enjoy afternoon gaming, the rage, the noobs & the fact I can actually get kills in a jet.

Shall be on this evening, might be slightly tipsy from all the hot toddys mind.

yeah fun games today mate, I can't believe the infy scores possible with this new patch and afternoon scrubs lol. It's like shooting stunned fish in a barrel. That Ben Kenomi scrub or whatever he was called thinking he had a game to take me on lol. Offered him 1v1, didn't hear anything after that point lol

I'll be having a few games tonight.

I run my 2500k at 4.6GHz, I think my Antec Kuhler 620 is holding me back from going further really.

Josh you need the white one.

If you are the markp I was in a game of metro with the other day you didn't do badly IIRC, you were ~5th out of 32 on your team with a healthy KD ratio. I don't remember actually bumping into you in that round though, I guess you don't pile blindly through the doors I farm

lol, i try my best not to wonder blindly

, not always successful and then spend the next 3/4 deaths calling myself all the names under the sun

main couple of reasons i'm sticking to lockers/metro at the mo is :

1) learn to pay more attention to the mini map, cos i always seem to run into people who know exactly where i'm coming from and i'm dead soon as they see me.

2) my aim is woeful/slow, and knocking round those maps tends to need it to be half decent and a bit quicker.

I'm leaning that way the more I see it!

To be fair, your ivy will be clock for clock faster than the 2500k so Westie's clocks are not comparable. I've benched this 2600k @ 5.3 @ 1.5v but for stable 24/7 clocks you are definitely dealing with diminishing returns.

I always thought running them over 1.4v for 24/7 was a massive no no with sandybridge cpus?

Geo-Gamer · 10 Oct 2014 at 01:29

Been playing around with my new build today and managed to get my i7 4970k 4.6ghz @ 1.24 volts.

Don't know what I'm doing to be honest and weather it's good or not but temps ain't hitting over 55c per core. So il leave it as that lol!

Hopefully that is good ? And maybe is it worth pushing to 4.7?

Hows a guy got 383% accuracy there?

He only has 8 kill and 3 deaths with most kills with vehicle so some dodgy stats from the way the game handles some stuff plus accuracy over a short period isn't a reliable indicator.

Very rarely can you tell if someone is cheating from stats alone.

It is. I think 1.4 is the limit for 24/7 assuming you have very good cooling. My point regarding overclocking is that you're dealing with diminishing returns that is unless you have some monster SLI/Crossfire setup.

Josh · 10 Oct 2014 at 08:21

Had some utterly rubbish games last night, feel rubber bandy and not smooth as normal. My ping was dodgy also. Think I will give the router a reboot when I get home at lunchtime.

tbyeah · 10 Oct 2014 at 08:25

I had my i5 4670k on 5ghz with over 1.5v once lol.

On an H80...

setter · 10 Oct 2014 at 08:59

Bit of rubber banding on some servers last night too. But tried a few more that were fine. Can be very random as to wether you get on a good one.

Think this has been an issue since patch to be honest. Been maxed out at work this week but hope to get some games on the weekend

Josh · 10 Oct 2014 at 16:46

Got sent home from work this morning, rough as hell. Went to bed a 12 and woke up at 4.

Feeling better so I will be on tonight. Really fancy some 64 player rush spam fest lol must be the meds.

TonyTurbo78 · 10 Oct 2014 at 16:53

the only rush you'll be doing talking like that, is to the mental asylum
