Assistance needed for overclocking... progressing.
I'm trying to boost my i76850k with an ASUS X99-AII motherboard. I watched a video and copied its settings, reaching 4.2. I want to hit 4.5 but don't know what to adjust. I changed the cores from 42 to 45, but my PC crashed during boot. I'm using the same settings in the tutorial and Prime95 is running fine with temps at 53-55°C. I didn't modify my RAM, unlike in the video. Any suggestions to reach 45?
I would just keep it at 4.4 at 1.35 volts. You should push your CPU with a program like Prime95 or AIDA64 and ensure your CPU stays cool. Under 80 is ideal, but if you reach under 90 in Prime95 after extended use, your overclock is sufficient because game temperatures won’t hit that high. These tests will also check system stability. If the setup fails any tests, you might need to lower the clocks slightly.
A few chips need higher vcore voltage to achieve a steady overclock, whereas similar CPUs might not. I plan to raise the vcore while keeping it within a safe and consistent range for the CPU.
Increase to 1.25, if needed, otherwise go to 1.3. 1.35 is the maximum for that chip.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'll give it a shot once I'm back.
Changing your cpu cache ratio can boost overall performance, though it won't raise the clock speed. It won't help reach 4.5 ghz. You might want to adjust the cache ratio after tweaking the speed. Look for a good cache overclocking tutorial on YouTube. I managed to hit 4.4ghz at 1.35v, but is that acceptable? Should I stick with 4.2 or revert to it? Also, I increased the cache ratio from 30 to 35.
