cannot get stable overclock
cannot get stable overclock
Hi there. I'm completely new to overclocking and would appreciate your patience. I've been going through many guides, but I'm still struggling to get it right when trying to overclock. I'm hoping you can guide me through this process, as all my attempts have been unsuccessful. Thank you in advance.
Set option sync all cores
Go to max core multiplier of first core and type 48
Go down and select manual voltage
Type in 1.34
Stress test with prime95 v26.6 (specifically)
See what results and temperature you turn.
Don't exceed 80c. If you do, your cooling Isnt sufficient enough, or you were unfortunate in the silicone lottery.
If it is unstable try 1.35 voltage.
If it is stable try incrementing down by 0.005 voltage. Rinse lather repeat until it does become unstable, then go back up to the last stable voltage.
If it runs cool and or low voltage, you can try multiplier 49 and go up another 0.05 volts from your stable voltage at 48. If it's unstable go up by 0.005 increments.
Do not exceed 80c or 1.4 volts. If you have to get close to 1.4 volts, you're not gonna do so hot on the OC.
Running prime95 at 80 or less is perfectly fine. Exceeding 80c for a longer period of time than "oops" is not good. The oops moment should be ok.
Please come back with results.
If you run 49 at a decent temp (lower than 80, not right at 80, as in ~70 or less) you might be lucky and can try 50 multiplier. If you can't get 50 at 1.375 or close to that I wouldn't run it personally. Mine exceeds 80c when I run that setting.
Hi,
I just achieved a stable overclock on my i7 7700k at 4.9GHz with 1.32v using default RAM settings. The next adjustment was to turn on XMP, which increased core temperatures by 5-15°C. I’m wondering what might be causing this and how to fix it. Should I manually configure my RAM or keep XMP active while lowering VCCIO and System agent voltage? My temperatures without XMP are around 75-80 during stress tests, but jump to 85-95 when XMP is enabled.
Configure the XMP first, then proceed with the overclock adjustments. The XMP modifies the fundamental parameters, so any changes should be based on its settings.
On a side note, that voltage is quite notable.
What were your temperatures?
