[SOLVED] First time overclocking

[godcomplex182]

Hi, this is my first time overclocking.
I have a i5-7600k - 2x8ram crucial bl 2400mhz - msi gtx 1070 8gb and hyper evo 212 cooler

First time ocing:
i5 7600k 3.8ghz stock to 4.8ghz 1.24v maxtemp 73c 1hour realbench
ram from 2400mhz 20-18-18-39 to 2800 14-14-14-34
and gpu core clock +150 and memory clock +400

is this fine? it should be stable after 1hour with realbench and 1 hour with aida64 extreme stability test?

Thank u for the answers.

edit: im trying to post a pic but i cant.

Looks good but no synthetic test is able to prove 100% stability. It is possible to pass stress tests even after 24hrs and yet hit problems with real world tasks. Stress tests are a good indication but not conclusive.

Basically because you have overclocked your RAM then you will need to run memtest86 at bootup. If you don't make sure that your RAM is good to go then as sizzling says you could pass stress test but still get issues. You still after a minimum of 32 of each test 0-9, 8 passes test 10 and 16 test 13. You need to run each test all at once or its pointless. Test 7 needs to be run 32 passes because that gives you full coverage. You will feel the pain of failure 24 passes into the 32 pass tests but once you are stable it makes the other tests more likely to pass.

Prime95 is another good test but you have to enable all the error checking or its pointless. This is mainly for testing the cores. How you run prime 95 is up to you. 10 hours of 8k ffts and 10 hours of max ffts, should do the trick for games. With Aida64 just run for +12hours. If your cpu gets too hold with AVX instructions then you need to dial back the overclock. Being stable means any load should be fine.

Some HEVC loads are maximum power and heat just like prime95. Core i9 9900KS @ 5.1GHz HEVC Power Consumption 365W / Core i9 9900KS @ 5.0GHz HEVC Power Consumption 355W / Core i9 9900KS @ 5.0GHz (MCE off) HEVC Power Consumption 254W / Core i9 9900K @ 4.7GHz HEVC Power Consumption 289W. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-intel-core-i9-9900ks-review

Now run some games and see if you are stable. Watch videos on youtube and visit the websites you like. Transfer data between drives and see if it becomes corrupt.

Once you believe the core part of your system is stable then move onto the graphics card. I have found Control is good for the cores overclock on my RTX 2080. World of Tanks EnCore RT is great for RAM stability on my RTX 2080. Every load is different on a graphics card and what settings are stable change from game to game.

Control required the lowest core overclock and World of Tanks EnCore RT required the lowest vRAM frequency.

Thank u both for the answers.

Yes i ran memtest86 i did the full test a few times and it was fine

and for the gpu i did unigine heaven a lot of times forgot to mention it

The issue when you have both the RAM and cores overclocked is that errors from unstable cores will affect memtest86 as well. I would dial in the cores and then overclock the RAM. Stock RAM speed is DDR4-2133/2400, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V. You need to start overclocking one aspect of the system first then stress test. Once stable more on to something else. Cores, ring and then RAM etc.

To stress test RAM takes +12 hours. You get all sorts of strange issues when RAM is erroring. Data corruption is one and errors when playing videos in your broswer is a sign of possible data corruption. If you pass memtest86 minimum 8 full passes and 32 passes test 7 (you need to run 32 times to get ful coverage +2hours). Then you can start looking at the RAM overclock being a tiny bit stable. Normally memtest is run 12-24 hours. RAM overclocks have to be thoroughly tested.

With full system stress tests 1 hour realbench or aida64 is not definitive. You need to run for long periods +8 hours.

Getting an overclock stable, especially a RAM one. Can sometimes try the patience of a saint. You can fail one memtest86 test say test 5 running 32 passes. Say you fail at test 5 pass 24/32. It could take you the guts of a hour to get to 24/32 to see it fail. You then have to find if there is a setting that will fix the error, then wait the guts of another hours to see if it worked. You may find for 5-6 changes, all with the guts of a hour to test. You will fail, until you find the right setting. The time to get an overclock stable, is basically the time it takes.

Then if you did something wrong 5-6 months down the line the overclock could break. Sometimes it just needs you to bump one voltage (vcore one notch) but if you are unluckly then you need another cpu at worst or dail back a little bit (not so good).

If you are luckly an overclock will motor on for a few years and then degrade.
