7700k @ 5.1 Ghz Question
7700k @ 5.1 Ghz Question
Hey everyone,
I've successfully overclocked my i7 7700k to 5.1 Ghz at 1.36 V (Manual mode) with my Asus Maximus IX Hero. During an Intel XTU stress test overnight, the system maintained a max temperature of 86°C (Original H100i AIO) and didn't experience any BSOD. So far, gaming and regular use have been smooth, with no instability issues. However,
I'm encountering a problem: occasionally the system freezes on the Asus ROG post screen during boot. After restarting, I receive a message indicating the system failed to post because of instability. This has occurred three times so far, even though the overclock hasn't been active for a week. I plan to run a memory check now to confirm my RAM is healthy, but I'm not sure that will resolve the issue.
Yes, this occurs occasionally; sometimes during boot it identifies unusual voltages and the system reacts negatively. What is the standard voltage for the 7700? Maybe lowering it to 5ghz and reducing the voltage could resolve the problem, as you're likely getting close to the optimal setting for this overclocked CPU.
I'll attempt to lower the overclock to 5.0 ghz and check the stable voltage range.
