I'm pretty impressed with the overclock I've gotten so far. The results below are with stress testing.
Turned off everything "auto" or "on" except the core count & voltages & vCore Loadline Calibration from auto to Extreme
Multiplier x20.0 (stock 17.5) & Bus speed to 225.0 MHz (stock 200.00MHz), 2000 MHz FSB (Stock) >>> 2925MHz (w/ auto & OC) / Auto on HT
1.345v - 1.456v Stock vcore >>> 1.452v to 1.488v Manually (1.450v in BIOS)
3.5GHz - 4.1GHz Stock clock >>> 4.360 GHz lowest 4.618 GHz highest (While stress testing) [Used to do 4.8 GHz in 2014/2015 but I couldn't keep it stable so]
51.4°C max, 15.1°C min, 21.5°C writing this in a 71°F apartment (roughly 21.6667°C)
Min load 0% all 6 cores, Max load 100% while stress testing, current load between 6% to 18% while posting
RAM - 1866 MHz 10-11-10-30 tRC 40 (stock w/ XMP) >>> 1333 MHz 9-9-9-27 tRC 28 (auto mode no XMP) >>> 2100 MHz 11-13-11-34 45 tRC (Bus at 225.00MHz)
[I forget the multiplier I used, I'll edit that in after this post]
1.50v Stock >>> 1.60v Manually
Gigabyte Xtreme OC Tool on GPU
Stock core clock 1114 MHz Boost 1253 MHz Memory I'm unsure of because every software has it differently...
Overclocked core +125MHz to 1239MHz/1378MHz when boosted Memory is +175MHz and again. GPUz is incorrect... CPUID HWM Pro is incorrect and I can't read the Gigabyte one because of their weird font.
Model GV-N970WF3OC-4GB stock firmware is F40 > Kept getting notification via XTreme to update it > Didn't download correct file type for me > Somehow through Gigabyte website downloaded F60 and flashed that on there after checking with some program to make sure all the data was the same. Works better now than when I received the card from wherever I ordered it in 2015
Tell me what you all think of my overclocking journey, I left the bluescreens, fail to boot bios and black bios > CMOS clearing all out because again. It's been 4 years overclocking the CPU and almost 3-4 years on the GPU along with long periods of giving up and leaving it unstable. Now it's finally stable and I'm saving this in my BIOS! Lmao
