4GHz Overclocking on Intel I7 875k with BLK vs Multiplier settings
4GHz Overclocking on Intel I7 875k with BLK vs Multiplier settings
I hope someone can assist in clarifying this for you, as I’m still a bit puzzled by my early tests.
I thought that increasing Blck would raise the IMC voltage, while using just the CPU multiplier should have minimal effect, keeping the IMC lower.
But my first test with this CPU shows the opposite: stress tests passed at an IMC below 1.2v when Blck was set to 160.
If I only use the multiplier, it demands a higher minimum IMC of 1.25v or causes crashes during testing.
Do you have any insight into why this is occurring?
Ignore it, I was using the incorrect OC profile with the wrong RAM voltage...
