Hi guys!
So yesterday I upgraded to an i5-4690K with a ASRock Z97 Killer MoBo, and was looking forward to some overclocking fun. Well, over the past 24 hours, that fun has turned into pure frustration.
I just can't seem to get this chip stable even at a meager 4.3 GHz without getting temps way too high, and I'm really hoping that there is something that I am doing wrong, rather than the chip being bad. I was hoping you guys could look at my settings and tell me if there is something obvious I have missed.
Specs:
CM EVO 212
2 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Radeon R9 270X
ASRock Z97 Killer
i5-4690K
XFX Pro 550W
BIOS settings:
The settings in bold is the ones I have changed.
CPU configuration:
Load Optimized CPU OC Setting: Disabled
CPU Ratio: All core
All Core: 43
CPU Cache Ratio: 39
BCLK Frequency: 100
BCLK/PCIE Ratio: Auto
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU OC Fixed Mode: Disabled
Intel Speedstep Technology: Enabled
Intel Turbo Boost Technology: Enabled
Filter PLL Frequency: Low BCLK Mode
Internal PLL Overvoltage: Disabled
PCIE PLL Selection: SB PLL
Long Duration Power Limit: Max (1000)
Long Duration Maintained: Auto
Short Duration Power Limit: Max (1000)
Primary Plane Current Limit: Max (1000)
DRAM Timing Configuration:
Load XMP Setting: Auto
DRAM Reference Clock: Auto
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1333
DRAM Performance Mode: Auto
FIVR Configuration:
FIVR Switch Frequency Signature: Auto
FIVR Switch Frequency Offset: Auto
CPU Vcore Voltage Mode: Override Mode
Vcore Override Voltage: 1.270
Vcore Voltage Additional Offset: 0.001
CPU Cache Voltage Mode: Override Mode
CPU Cache Override Voltage: 1.270
CPU Cache Voltage Offset: 0.001
System Agent Voltage Offset: Auto
CPU Analog IO Voltage Offset: Auto
CPU Digital IO Voltage Offset: Auto
CPU Integrated VR Faults: Disabled
CPU Integrated VR Efficiency Mode: Disabled
Voltage Configuration:
CPU Input Voltage: Fixed Mode
Fixed Voltage: 1.900V
CPU Load-Line Calibration: Enabled
DRAM Voltage: Auto (1.5V)
PCH 1.05V Voltage: Auto (1.082V)
PCH 1.5V Voltage: Auto (1.506V)
C1E is the only C state enabled.
So with this abnormally high Vcore for 4.3 GHz, I was able to run OCCT for an hour, but it froze when I tried to run the physics test in 3DMark 11, and I know that this is because of too high clocks/too low voltage.
I tried with the Vcore at 1.3, but then the temps hit 95C in IBT.
So, is this my fault or have I gotten the worst 4690K produced yet?
Uhm, I also see that my BIOS says that Hyperthreading is "not supported" (Don't know if this is relevant)
I really need your help guys, just ask if something is unclear, anything is appreciated!
