4770k overclocking headache
4770k overclocking headache
You didn't purchase a terrible 4770K.
Most of them are similar.
The reviewers only got quality samples.
You probably didn't expect it to reach speeds comparable to a Core i7 3770, did you?
Actually, I wasn't expecting that. But I was hoping for a model capable of at least 4.5ghz under 1.3 volts. I've seen excellent 4770Ks, but no one has needed 1.357 volts for 4.5ghz and 1.45 for 4.6.
With my previous PC, I had an e8400 (though I can't compare), but it operated from a stock 3.0ghz to a 4.4ghz, lasting five years straight. Its overclock reached 1.4ghz. A 4770K would be limited to around 1.0ghz. It's disappointing.

No, I wasn't expecting that. But I was hoping for a batch that could reach at least 4.5ghz under 1.3 volts. I've seen some good 4770K's, but I haven't seen anyone needing 1.357 volts for 4.5ghz and 1.45 for 4.6.

At least your CPU can reach 4.5Ghz, but my 4770K is a total waste of time. It can only hit up to 4.3Ghz, but with all cores synced to 43, it keeps crashing.
Johnvonmacz asked about the voltage requirements for achieving high performance with a 4770K.
Do you know if there are any suggestions for tweaking bios settings to boost performance or power efficiency? For example, could adjusting the VRM voltage help improve results?
Any suggestions for tweaking bios settings or adjusting other parameters? Could changing things like the VRM voltage improve performance or power efficiency? I was thinking about raising the VRM voltage. What is the CPU offset voltage configured for? I require 1.32v at 4.6Ghz, which seems to be the standard for these chips.

Do you have any suggestions for BIOS tweaking or something similar? I’m stuck with a poor Vcore but wondering if adjusting other settings could boost performance or OC potential. For example, raising the VRM voltage?
What is your CPU’s offset voltage set to? I was using 1.32V for a 4.6GHz clock, which seems to be the standard for these chips.
I’m currently in manual mode. Will adjusting the offset help my OC? I’ve heard it can increase voltage when needed.
Bolislet asked about tips for BIOS tweaking and performance adjustments. He mentioned his poor Vcore and wondered if changing other settings could improve performance or OC potential, such as increasing VRM voltage. He inquired about the CPU offset voltage setting and whether it could help with OC, noting that offsets can raise voltage when needed. He clarified that the offset setting is separate from his Vcore and explained that it controls the voltage applied to the die's VRMs.

Any people have some kind of tips for bios tweaking or somesort? I have to live with my terrible vcore but is there a way to increase performance/oc potential by changing other settings? Upping the voltage on the VRM's maybe?
What is your cpu offset voltage set at? I needed 1.32v for 4.6Ghz. Its just the way it goes with these chips
I have it on manual mode. Will offset help my oc? I have heard that offset increases voltage if needed.
This is a different setting then your Vcore. The CPU offset voltage is the voltage that goes to your on die vrm's
Ah ok, It was on auto (0,8 something). I changed it to 0,9 1,0 and 1,2. It made no difference. At 1,2 my temps went up by 1/2c. Still couldn't achieve 4,6 at less then 1,45 vcore
Bolislet replied to johnvonmacz, noting that most units are similar and reviewers received quality samples. He mentioned he wasn't expecting a model capable of reaching 4.5Ghz under 1.3 volts, recalling good 4770K models but not seeing anyone needing 1.357 volts for that performance. He shared his experience with a previous PC running an e8400, which lasted five years at 3.0Ghz to 4.4Ghz, and noted that pushing it further would cause issues. He also discussed the voltage requirements for overclocking, suggesting around 1.235v for single-core overclocks and cautioning about exceeding it.
