3770k high voltage for OC
3770k high voltage for OC
Hey
I’m dealing with an issue on my 3770k. I’m using an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 and an Enermax LIQMax II 240 on the CPU. The problem is that my CPU requires a high voltage to even reach 4.4GHz (I need around 1.32V, which causes temperatures above 95 degrees).
Everything seems configured as in the thread you linked.
Is it a faulty CPU or am I setting it up incorrectly?
Also, I ran an OCCT test with 64-bit Large Data.

(Offset set to +0.015 [and it works at 1.32V] because with +0.005 it failed to boot).
Am I using a faulty CPU or is there something wrong with my setup?

Re-seat the watercooling block. Avoid using too much thermal paste. Use just enough.
In BIOS, keep the vcore between 1.25v and 1.35v. It can reach up to 1.5V but that will cause rapid degradation.
Also, set the CPU loadline calibration to ultra high (75%) or extreme (100%).
Enable powerphase control optimization.
If your BIOS has a cpu/nb loadlinecalibration option, adjust it to a higher value.
Turn off Intel speedstep—it will improve stability.
Disable any power-saving features, as they slow the CPU when not under load.
Ivy Bridge tends to overheat during booting, so ensure proper airflow in your case.
If the issue persists, try using the auttune feature and then manually lower the vcore voltage until it boots, adjusting by 0.1 steps at a time until stable.
Let me know how it turns out.
