As the title says, the speakers made a loud noise and since are only operating at far below usable volume even with the volume turned up full. I was hoping someone here could help find the fault and point me in the right direction of fixing it since I don't have the money to replace them right...

Disappointing results with lowering voltage, it seems the lowest fully stable voltage for 4.6GHz for me is 1.340v, better than 1.38 I guess. Load temperatures are staying around 60-65c so I'm not worried about that. I was really hoping for 5GHz when I bought this processor but I got it and some...

Now that you mention it, my RAM is not ideal. I have 16GB of Corsair XMS3 running at 1333MHz but it's 4 sticks from two dual channel kits so I'm running in single channel. Could that be a limiting factor do you think?

I guess I'll give up on my dream of 5GHz for now then and focus on getting my voltage down from a vary variable 1.25-1.38v. Thanks for your answers (:

I've been running at a multiplier of 46 for two weeks now, passed all tests and I've had no issues, which is why I'm baffled that 47 seems to break it so much. Should I just settle with 4.6GHz and slowly lower the voltage or do you think I should keep trying for a higher overclock?

if I set the multi to 47 I've no chance of getting past the windows logo and upon restart my bios freezes before I can change it back to 46, meaning I have to clear the cmos every time. So it's going to be a reaaalllllyyyy long process.

A problem I'm having with experimenting with settings is, if I change something to a number it doesn't quite like I get locked out of both the OS and the BIOS. I have to remove the battery or I've no hope of getting past the windows logo.

For my first attempt at an overclock I set my multiplier to 46 and just left voltage at auto, this then set the vcore to 1.38v which I feel is pretty high for 4.6GHz. I tried upping the multi to 47 and it won't even boot. Surely there should be some middle ground in between being 100% stable at...

I was just wondering if in theory I could run a graphics card on the 1x slot on my motherboard using an adapter. I understand the bottleneck it would be causing but it would be in a system that will only have a dedicated graphics card in it to offload a bit of work from the CPU.

I've used DDU many many times. Installed dozens of different drivers and nothing has changed the fact that I get this crash up to 50 times in a 24 hours period. And mostly while idling.

Voltage doesn't seem to be making a difference. I've tried as far back as September last year which is the earliest maxwell driver. And yes bossy, it does.

This was all done on desktop just browsing forums and YouTube. +10mv: crashed once after ~20 minutes +20mv: didn't crash after an hour +30mv: crashed 7 times after ~40 minutes +40mv: kernel immediately crashed 15 times. +50mv: didn't crash after an hour. +60mv: didn't crash after an hour...

No change with stock clocks.

Yes my clocks are +165 on the core, gpu boost takes that up to 1485MHz and +250 on the memory. I don't think the overclock is the issue though because if anything the crashes are less frequent under load.

I'll try increasing the voltage when I get home but my max power is already at 110% and it seems odd that my settings are suddenly an issue when I've had them since October last year and I've only been getting the crashes for two months Is it overclocked by any chance?
