Help ocing 8600k
Hi, I just upgraded today with a 8600k, Noctua D15s and Asrock Táichi. I'm really new to this and not sure how to check my CPU. Anyone can help me? I want to aim for around 4.5ghz, and I already have a Seasonic 520 and a GTX 1080. The Asrock Táichi has many settings, but I'm not sure what to change. Thanks for your help!
Gasaraki: OCing isn't suitable for beginners. Start with a few systems and then try to overclock. What are your complete system details? Are you sure about building a few systems before attempting overclocking? As long as someone is willing to learn and has the time, it can be pretty straightforward (and enjoyable). Here’s a summary of everything important about overclocking: the Intel Temperature Guide has been my reference. You should be able to reach well above 4.5ghz with that configuration. Also, avoid using automatic overclocking tools—they often supply too much voltage, which can harm the CPU over time. When adjusting your processor close to its maximum overclock, remember that a jump of 100 MHz typically requires about 50 millivolts more (0.050) to keep things stable. If you need 75 to 100 millivolts or more for another stable 100 MHz boost, it indicates the processor is being pushed beyond its limits. Source:
Thanks, I'll read those guides. I'm a bit concerned since the Táichi offers many manual oscillation settings, but I'll figure it out. My main worry is the voltage. The 8600k model has 4.3ghz turbo and 3.6 base. If I go up to 4.5ghz, I just need to add 200mhz, which is about 0.10 volt? Or should I use the 3.6ghz base clock and add 900mhz instead?
I can't see anything... I update the bios to the latest, but when I adjust the voltage, core speed, etc., I save changes. When I open Windows, the 8600k remains at 3.6ghz. After restarting the PC and entering BIOS, all options are undone. However, CPU-Z shows the CPU as A3.6ghz, while the voltage I set in BIOS works perfectly in Windows... So I'm not sure what's going on right now.
Your overclocking will begin from the base clock speed, and initially voltage adjustments might not be necessary for the first 100 MHz. Every CPU behaves differently. The maximum Vcore for that CPU is 1.4V. I'm uncertain why your speeds aren't holding—please take a screenshot of the BIOS overclock settings so I can help further.
The picture shows the Prime95 test, and the speed stays constant at 3600MHz. However, when checking the HWINFO64 in Turbo mode it reports 4600MHz. I’m unsure what I’m doing incorrectly... I use a Pre Load OC profile for the ASRock Taichi to target 4600MHz, which I set manually before and never exceeded the base speed.
