Pushing CPU OC Further
Pushing CPU OC Further
I'm just starting out, so please give me a moment.
The specs I have are: Intel 6850k on H60 liquid cooling, Asus Deluxe II motherboard, EVGA GTX 1080, Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200, and a Corsair CX850M power supply.
Up to now, I managed stable performance at around 1.4 volts with core voltage. If I increase it to 4.6, the system won’t boot unless I adjust the voltage to about 1.475. At that point it becomes too unstable and crashes quickly during testing or gameplay. At 1.5 volts there’s a high temperature warning and the machine shuts down. Around 1.57 volts I get an overvoltage error and it won’t start.
In short, I’m facing three issues: low voltage causing instability, high voltage triggering overheating, and repeated overvoltage warnings.
I’m wondering if there’s a way to stabilize the overclock and reach 4.6 without raising the voltage too much.
I would choose 4.5Ghz. I believe you don’t really need to go up to 4.6 because you’re already stable at 4.5 with a voltage of 1.4. To achieve a jump to 100MHz you’d need to add 0.475, but it would still fail to boot and I wouldn’t exceed 1.5.
My i7-3820 can reach 4.5Ghz at 1.35v, but pushing it higher will cause crashes regardless of the voltage applied. I think there’s a limit with certain CPUs where stability breaks down no matter how much power you give them. Every CPU is unique due to its silicon design.
