    [SOLVED] How come my OC crashes when gaming, but not during stress test ?

    Are you increasing boost clocks or base clock? I've found my 2500K was stable 4.6GHz 1.3V, but if I tuned turbo to run at that it would bsod even with voltage closer to 1.35V. Tried various LLC setting, but nothing worked, stable during prime95 small ftt but would crash watching a youtube...

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    I suspect memory, i have hyperx fury ddr3 1866mhz 1.5V. Trying to oc yesterday it was stable for longer when I tried manually setting the ram variables. I will run a memtest when I have time, then wait for conductonaut, update bios and then try to oc, possibly even reinstall bios. Last d1 bsod...

    [SOLVED] I5 2500k to i7 3770k worth it? (in 2021)

    Here the 3600 costs 240€, but the 10600X costs 220€ So for gaming I think 10600X is a no brainer when comparing these two. If decent cooling is present of course.

    [SOLVED] I5 2500k to i7 3770k worth it? (in 2021)

    Well, I got a 3770K and I regret it, because it's nowhere near as good at OCing as my 2500K was. I could easily run 4.6GHz on my 2500K, but the 3770K is crashing at 4.2GHz. If you can really get a 3600 for 100 bucks get it, but I don't know where people live, because the 3600 Ryzen's I'm...

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    I know the core differences are due to a bad mount, but I won't remount until I get the conductonaut, since the way I see it, as long as the hottest cores aren't too hot there shouldn't be a problem right? The nail polish thing, where and how much do I apply it? Do I just cover the whole chip...

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    80€ for CPU and 90€ for mobo. Pretty much could have doubled down on that and gotten a 10600KF and a Z590 mobo... Not my smartest pourchase, my intention was to get a 60€ 2600K for a cheap boost in performance, ended up getting the 3770K the guy had for 20 more, then my mobo bricked when...

    [SOLVED] my cpu temp is 100 C !!!

    Do you have the pump plugged into cpu_fan socket? If so I'm 99% certain the pump is failing. Other 1% would be bad sensor on the cpu fan pins, but then the temps would be normal. Tra plugging the pump into another connector preferably directly from the psu so it runs full speed and check temps.

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    Sucks to hear that, since iy was the only Z77 board I was able to purchase. Maybe if I can revive my asus p8z68-v with a bios chip I can try on there. I'm at work rn, I will test your settings when I get home in about 6 hrs and report back. Thank you.

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    [SOLVED] Flashed wrong bios on Asus P8Z68-V pro, now it won't post

    I tried, but I can't find any good deals in my country. People are selling Ryzen 3600's for 250+, at which point I would just get a NEW 10600KF for 220€. In hindsight I should have gotten the 10600KF initially before even looking at 3770K's, for 550€ I could have bought 10600KF, Z590 mobo and...

    [SOLVED] Can't get a stable OC on 3770K

    Hey everyone. So I recently got a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H and a 3770K, which I delided and applied Coolermaster Mastergel Pro V2 both under and on top of IHS. I know it's not optimal, but it was what they had at a local store, so it will have to do while I'm waiting for NT-H1 and Conductonaut to...

    [SOLVED] Flashed wrong bios on Asus P8Z68-V pro, now it won't post

    I ended up buying a new Mobo, check my post above this one. I will order a new bios chip for the ASUS board and if it works I'll order some ram, put that stuff into a case, slap a cooler on it and probably sell it to try and regain some of my lost money on this dud 3770K + mobo (90€ mobo + 80€...

    [SOLVED] Flashed wrong bios on Asus P8Z68-V pro, now it won't post

    So I ended up buying a different motherboard, Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H. 3770K works fine in it, but I do realise I pretty much wasted my money, since it's a pretty bad chip, crashes after 2 mins of Prime95 with 4.4Ghz @ 1.35V. I'm really dissapointed, all this work and money, just to conclude my...

    [SOLVED] Flashed wrong bios on Asus P8Z68-V pro, now it won't post

    That's what I'm thinking, board is definitely showing signs of life still, since it beeps with no ram and if I put the 3770K in I get 4 beeps. Cpu light aparently indicates not detecting cpu, but I cleaned the contacts, checked the pins, everything is fine, I tried reseating like 5 times now...

    [SOLVED] Flashed wrong bios on Asus P8Z68-V pro, now it won't post

    2500K in now, with no ram in I get 1 long 2 short beeps. If I put 1 stick back I'm again stuck back with no response.
