Intel Overclocking Club

[4Ryan6]

This is the exact model: F3-2133C9Q2-64GZH

It's actually rated for 2133 so I'm not overclocking it. Just loaded the XMP profile.

I actually tinkered around with it initially at standard 1600 without any XMP profile (increased voltage) and dropped down to 2 sticks and that didn't make a difference.

It's looking like the best I'm going to get with this chip is 4.7 unless I go to some elaborate custom water cooling configuration.

I also have 2133 memory, but found the I5 much easier to o/c reducing the memory to 1600, hit 4.8GHz.

That's because the higher the CPU multiplier you run the more effect overclocking the CPU memory controller has on the total CPU heat under load, and that can be a limiting overclock factor relating to the cooling you're running.

Actually was able to hit 4.6 GHz and 4.7 GHz with a successful intelburn test on high, valid cpuids and really high temps, but neither would hold up to any lengthy test on Prime95. I left this 4.5 GHz on Prime95 for about 6 hours successfully and I was ok with the temps so I'm going to just run it here.

Welcome to the club! Very nice setup and great numbers! You should post pics of your complete setup at pcpartpicker.com. It appears you have a nice looking rig at least on paper!

Thanks,

Justin S.

Thanks. I am actually planning on taking some photographs pretty soon. I was right in the middle of a big job when I built the system so I didn't quite have the time to do all of that. pcpartpicker helped me out a lot as this is my first build. I'll let you know when I get that up.

We have just created a new method of submitting entries to the club!

Please scroll up to the first post to see the slight changes in submission

Thank you all for sticking with us and contributing your overclocking knowledge!

I just wanted to take a moment to commend both amuffin and novuake for being resolute and creating a great solution to keeping this club alive. Just to keep newer members patient perhaps update in the first post that "verified" members will be updated say monthly or quarterly so you don't get hounded with daily, weekly questions as to why they aren't on there yet and still unverified? Just thinking ahead. Again, thanks for getting the club back up and running!

We are trying our best to keep this going. Over this summer we plan to really "revive" the club! It's difficult for us to get things done quickly and efficiently due to the time zone differences (Novuake is enjoying his breakfast while I am sleeping) so we are trying our best to get things steadily going.

Thanks for your support!

don't no what I did hahaha.

Could I and How well does a 4770k overclock?

 

[mastergup]

the overclock not that high normally because the can get really hot, so depends a bit on your cooler.

Could I and How well does a 4770k overclock?

Hi there.

Post your full specs.

 

[Danra]

Could I and How well does a 4770k overclock?

To some degree it depends on several factors, one of which is the cooler you are using [mine is CPU
Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 140mm x 2 SSO, TIM: GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal
Compound]. 22nm CPUs are very sensitive regarding heat. If you have a good cooler and good case cooling, and all other hardware is quality then you can expect 4.4GHz.

There is much more to the picture.

As alluded to by Novukake, we need you to list all of the hardware components inside your computer, and the case type and case fans [not so important for CPU cooling if you are using a water block on the CPU and have radiator external to the case]. Do you see how important every detail of your computer is?

also what is the situation with voltages on this cpu or haswell in general, can i push as much as i can cool like amd or is there real danger because of higher voltage, would like to get it stable @4,8

Hi Bresser.

Sorry for the inconvenience but the IBT test has to COMPLETE for it to be a valid entry.

Hi there!

Nice OC you have there. I would strongly suggest you drop the voltage a little.
It seems a teensy bit high, unless of course you have already tried and failed.

 

[SHODAN355]

Yeah I thought as much. Originally I had it stable at 1.280V (12 hours under Prime 95) but when I was running for the screen shot I was having one core run an error after an hour or two so I had to gradually up it. An open question to everyone I have cyclic voltage and temperature behavior under load (you can kind of see this in the screenshot). The voltage varies between 1.294V and ~1.270V. Is this just due to using an offset voltage instead of a set voltage?

Yep, offset does that.

I always suggest starting with fixed to find the tightest OC you can then moving to offset, offset takes a lot of experimenting and you need to already know what your chip can do at a giving voltage to avoid errors and applying to much voltage for a given clock.

Just to add: Other BIOS settings can affect that as well as offset voltage.

Many that shoot for the high multipliers approaching 5ghz use manual voltage settings,
taking full control over the voltage and not allowing the motherboard to vary it much out in the operating system.

You're showing a typical ASUS base clock reading of 99.98mhz, if you'll set your base clock to 100.1 in the BIOS it will read out at a solid 100.

Also you can run Intel Burn Test to shorten the time you spend seeking stability, IBT will expose instability in minutes vs P95s hours.

Personally I just don't have the time to invest 12hrs running a stress test, when in actuality no stress test completion is reaching a 100% stable overclock.
Further benchmarking and gaming adding the GPU and Audio load are the final tests to reaching 100% stability.

But further testing to reach a solid 100% stability is not required to be a stable member of this overclock club.

But 100% solid stability should be important to the individual, if he or she plans to run their overclock for 24/7 use, error and blue screen free.

 

[SHODAN355]

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll fix the base clock and I'll try to see if I can get the voltage down. Will switch to IBT too, didn't know it was faster than Prime 95.

 

[Bresser]

Sorry about that I thought instructions said running stability test. I will reupload the image in just a second after a IBT completed test.
