4.5 | 3.8 | 79 | 7.62

4.5 | 4.0 | 80 | 7.63

---------------------------------------------------------------

The point of this post is that uncore can be much lower than cpu core *cpu core is king*
so have no fear in running your uncore lower, i have my system @4.8ghz with 4.6ghz uncore but i might just reduce it to 4.4-4.5 so that i can run 4.9-5.0 stable.
some people are getting great results from even running 4.2-4.3 uncore @4.9-5.0 cores.

the northbridge is not as saturated as before so again if someone says run 1/1 with cpu thats fine if your running your cpu @4.4 or 4.5 but higher requires more voltage = less stability from your cpu = far less results = getting what im saying :)

500x1000px-LL-452a6b54_l6s4.png



Your talking very very small gains in upping the uncore that reducing it really does gain little to nothing but nets your system far far greater stability.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am intrested to know what you guys think and can you guys post your voltages and cpu clocks and uncore clocks and voltages...
thanks.

Core is and always will be king, it depends how much a difference you need to change it to.

A notch or 2 to get a higher E-Peen clock is fine for some.
 
Can you do this on the 3770k?

I've never been great at CPU overclocking, I understand the basics and just set my 3770k to 4.6ghz and 1.3v and switched off the stepping so it runs 4.6 at all times.
 
Slightly off topic Virus, but ive noticed on my board in sig, the default setting for cache voltage, (asus term for uncore) seems rather high at 1.271. Latest bios, (ver 1505) where uncore at default is 4000mhz. The first DC compatible bios for this board, (ver 1504) had uncore at 4400mhz at default.

all boards are different mate and different bios`s and some manufacterers like to overvolt there voltages.

--------------------------------------------------

you can always reduce the voltages manually 1.100v for 4.0 should be fine
though for 4.6+ uncore your looking at 2.280+ voltages in uncore/cache voltage.

though for default 1.271v is not that high should be 4.4uncore stable @ those voltages though.

as i said though everything can be changed manually.
defaults are just what a bios tells the board to run at different bios, different voltages.

----------------------------------------------------

though im thinking about reducing my 4.6uncore as its really not needed and adds less stability even though im stable the voltages aswell are not worth pumping into the cpu.
 
True i suppose, and a lot of asus boards ive owned have been quite liberal with auto voltage compared to others ive owned. Ive only found a higher uncore to help with a few benchmarks. That was on my previous 4.5ghz 4770k, uncore at at 4.3 as ive heard that 2-3 multis lower than cpu multi was best for stability. Currently running the chip in sig at stock but hoping to hit 4.7 for daily use.
 
Those graphs... Not sure what I am supposed to take from them.

They are all using different cpu and different uncore, making it impossible to draw any conclusions on what the effect of the uncore clocking is.
 
its just an example that not everyone shoots for 1/1 cpu/uncore.
and it was a example of what people run there systems at. when it comes to uncore ect... it really does not make that much difference

my point being if your shooting for a high uncore its not really worth it unless you like benching synthetic benchmarks all day but reducing it nets hardly no loss worth mentioning but it does stabilize your system 10 fold.
