Yep, I'll hate. :lol: That guy is a paid fanboy, and I disagree with 60% of the things he says.

However, good luck with overclocking.

 

[Mirakledba]

Thanks. Im sure he is paid but his overclocking guide has nothing to do with a bunch of that stuff. So just to make sure I have everything I need...HW monitor, CPU Z, Prime 95....How long do you recommend I run Prime after each time?

 

[tiny voices]

Nahh, prime95 blows for getting the temps up there. Use Intel Burn test. Run that on Extreme. That will get you the MAX ever numbers.

 

[Mirakledba]

Lol. Ok intel burn test 10 times as usual right? One last thing...Its ok if the temps go super high while im running it, like it wont fry on the spot right XD?

 

[tiny voices]

Uhh, if temps go passed 84ish I would stop the test.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok if it goes above 84 once, Ill stop it.

 

[tiny voices]

I mean it is still safe at 84 technically. If it hits that in the Burn test, then it is ok, but if it does that while gaming and normal use it is pretty bad. I would use 90c as the "OH MAN STOP THE TEST" point.

Remember that the max safe temperature stated by Intel for that CPU is 72.7c.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok ill do that. And the mode I should be putting is Standard or maximum/?

 

[tiny voices]

For the test?

 

[Mirakledba]

yeah

 

[tiny voices]

Run it on like maximum I guess. That will get the CPU hotter than any normal tasks ever would.

 

[Mirakledba]

Alright thanks. Im on my laptop for the video and this forum so Im still here

 

[tiny voices]

Good deal.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

god damnit making me jealous

 

[Mirakledba]

Haha dont be! First of all, I cant even change the ratio to Sync all Cores or whatever. I have to use the + and - to raise which is ok, second, I HAVE LIKE 10 CPU VOLTAGE OPTIONS AND I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE TO USE! Lol Im sure its the" CPU CORE" Voltage one lol

 

[Mirakledba]

Im thinking If i should start from my 4.0 Ghz OC profile. 4.0 1.6v

Nvm it cant cause its not the same WHOLE settings...

eDIT : Did not start yet.....I cant get the CPU ratio to be at all cores.....

Aha I may have got it, Dynamic or fixed mode? Probably dynamic.

 

[tiny voices]

Geez 1.6v is REALLY high for 4.0ghz. You NEVER want to go over 1.4v with that CPU.

 

[Mirakledba]

ERm....sorry. 1.16 is what I meant.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok 4.0ghz 1.2v just so I can get an idea. Gonna boot and run INTEL BURN. H100i fans and all at Performance mode is what Ill do , not max

Cant run Burn on MAX cause i cant use more memory than I have so ill do VERY HIGH


Alright test is going. 10 times, Very high, 4096MB. ALL threads, 4 ghz, 1.2v

 

[tiny voices]

Sounds good.

 

[Mirakledba]

5 times in, cpu wot get over 70c. I feel like 10 times isnt enough but whatever, knowing me I wont max out my CPU usage daily. Also after this if it passes, Should I just raise the ratio and try to keep the voltage low or also raise the voltage by like...idk.

 

[tiny voices]

LEave the voltage until it blue screens. Then up it by like.05 when it finally does bluescreen.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

No, keep the voltage the same and bump up the ratio little by little(e.g 4.0.. 4.1... 4.2...) and See how it goes. When you can't boot or in you get a crash in burn test, then bump up voltage A LITTLE BIT.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok and raitio Ill raise by 1 EACH TIME. Thanks for all the help. Ill keep you posted via PM
