i5 7600k cache overclock help
I never increased the cache on a CPU before. Before you try, do anyone have some tips?
Does it matter? Does it raise temperatures and by how much?
I’ve boosted my i5 to 4.7ghz at 1.175v (still testing at 1.15v with blue screen issues).
My Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim runs at idle temps between 38-43°C (4.5ghz at 1.1v is 35-40°C).
I also have an Asrock Z170 Extreme 4. The best benchmarks I’ve seen it hit was 68°C, and gaming usually stalls around 48°C.
I’m mindful of temperatures since my PC runs daily for over 8 hours, mainly for gaming and light editing on a Sony Vegas.
In Rust, which game I play most, I experience many stutters when loading maps. I have an HDD and think switching to an SSD would help. After overclocking my CPU to 4.7ghz, the stuttering improved a lot—do you think overclocking the cache could make things worse? Any advice would be really helpful.
Doing well with the current work. Consider increasing the multiplier slightly. The key to watch is vcore. A maximum of 1.4v is expected, leaving some headroom. It seems you have a chip that was carefully selected. For testing under stress, an 85c target is appropriate. You should likely run out of safe vcore before hitting thermal limits.
You're doing well so far. Consider increasing the multiplier slightly. Keep an eye on vcore – 1.4v is the limit, but you still have some headroom. It seems you received a chip that's been well-binned. For a stress test, aiming for 85c would be ideal. You may run out of safe vcore before hitting thermal limits. Should I raise the voltage when boosting the cache clock, or should I adjust both cache and clock speed together with voltage?
I think if you truly understood how all these settings worked together, you could improve; I don't.
Just keep the voltages on auto and slowly increase the multiplier to test your performance.
When you hit your maximum, lower it slightly.
And... add speedstep and adaptive voltage.
This will lower the multiplier and vcore when the CPU isn't working hard.
Not really something I see. Thanks Geo, if it's true, it would be better to enable it.
I followed the graph provided and adjusted the voltage slightly for each overclock. For 4.5ghzi, I used a 1.1v core, and for 4.7ghz i, a 1.175v core worked well.
I used the graph provided to guide my overclock adjustments. I slightly reduced the voltage for each step. On 4.5ghzi I used a 1.1v core and on 4.7ghz I went with 1.175, and it performed well.

The chart highlights a strong chip, which seems to match yours.
But... not every chip overclocks effectively. Some are great, while others remain quiet.
