I really need assistance with my OC and Vcore.
I really need assistance with my OC and Vcore.
Sure thing, here it is rephrased:
Just checking the stress test results—4.3ghz and 1.65vcore. During the test, it seems the Vcore is around 1.48? But I’m not sure where you’re seeing 1.65 or 1.48. CPU-Z lists 1.284Vcore. In HWMonitor, you can adjust the temperatures and fan speeds to get a better reading on Vcore.
Additional notes on SpeedStep: it reduces Vcore and frequency when idle, lowering them to specified levels. C-states define the sleep modes during idle. More details can be found at the provided link. Regarding your question about maintaining a 4.5/4.6ghz overclock with temperatures under 70°C at stress, it depends on how you manage cooling and workload.
Blayzify updated the details. SpeedStep reduces Vcore and frequency when idle, lowering Vcore to 0.744V or less and frequency to 800MHz. C-states define the sleep modes at idle. The article provides more info here: http://www.dungeoner.com/en/overclocking...rbo-boost/. It also mentions concerns about Vcore dropping during full load and whether a 4.5/4.6ghz OC is possible with temps under 70°C at stress. The advice is to keep Vcore at 1.35V or below, with 1.4 acceptable but 1.48V and 1.65 too high. Avoid exceeding 1.4V to prevent CPU damage.
Additional notes from the source: SpeedStep enables lowering of Vcore and frequency during idle, such as reducing Vcore to 0.744V or less and frequency to 800MHz. C-states describe the sleep modes the computer enters at idle. More details can be found at the provided link. Regarding your concerns about maintaining a 4.5/4.6ghz overclock while keeping temperatures under 70°C during stress, I’m unsure if that’s feasible. I prefer to keep Vcore at 1.35V or below; 1.4 is acceptable but 1.48V and 1.65 are too high. Please verify this. Exceeding 1.4V could risk damaging your CPU. Thanks for the update about your Vcore being 1.248 at peak load and currently set to 1.265 in BIOS.
Sorry, I ment my Vcore was 1.248 at max load and is set to 1.265 in bios.
That sounds much better.
If you're stable at 4.3GHz with Vcore at 1.265, raise your multiplier to 44 and check stability. You may need to slightly increase Vcore to maintain stability. If you reach 44 stable, try 45…
Eventually, you'll encounter OCCT errors or a blue screen. At that stage, you should boost Vcore a bit. But keep in mind, pushing Vcore too high can lead to temperatures exceeding 80°C. You need to identify the sweet spot where you get the highest multiplier, with Vcore around 1.35V or lower, and temps staying under 80°C during stress tests.

Ahh, that sounds much better.
If you're stable at 4.3GHz with Vcore at 1.265, raise your multiplier to 44 and observe the stability results. You might need to increase Vcore slightly to maintain stability. If you manage 44 stable, try 45…
Eventually, you'll encounter OCCT errors or a blue screen. At that stage, you should raise Vcore a bit.
But increasing Vcore too much can push temperatures above 80°C. You need to identify the balance point where you get the highest multiplier, keeping Vcore at 1.35V or lower and temps under 80°C during stress tests.
Okay this sounds reasonable. My Vcore is set at 1.265 but when I run the stress test and the PC is under load, the Vcore only reads 1.248 in cpuid-z.
