Question Help OC 3770k+DDR3-2133
Hi everyone
I’m planning to keep my PC for another one or two years, maybe until Zen4. I’ve been trying to push the computer as far as possible, but nothing seems to work. I’ve redanded and tried a lot, but only managed 4.3GHz of OC. Not sure what’s going on!
CPU: 3770k
RAM: RipjawsX DDR3-2133MHz CL11-13-13-31 1.50V 16GB (2x8GB) - F3-2133C11D-16GXL
PC Case: ASUS P8Z68-M PRO
Cooler: Noctua NH-L12
Case: Corsair Air Carbide 240
Power Supply: HX850i
As I mentioned, I reached 4.3GHz (all set to auto) and Prime95 gives me 80-84°C, while games only hit around 76°C tops. I’m sticking with 1600 because I’ve tried XMP or higher timings, but Windows won’t boot at that speed.
My goal is to get at least 4.5GHz, or if not, go for 2133 with slower timings.
Any advice or step-by-step guides would be really helpful.
Cheers!!!
Have you experimented with increasing the voltage together with the MHz? Just keep an eye on the rising temperatures.
