Safe and stable 6700k OC assistance required.
Hello friends,
I’m looking for someone to assist me with optimizing my new 6700k to 4.4 ~ 4.5GHz. I want the performance to match its rated speed. I’ve attached the current CPUz results, which indicate it’s not reaching the expected performance. I just aim for stable and safe tuning, not pushing it to 4.8 or 5. My system is used for gaming and graphics-heavy tasks like working with large Photoshop files. The only details missing from the screenshots are my power supply (Corsair RM850i) and CPU cooler (Corsair H110).
Hello friends,
I’m looking for someone to assist me with optimizing my new 6700K to 4.4 to 4.5GHz. I want it to match its rated speed and maintain a stable performance. My goal is optimal speed without going over to 4.8 or 5. I’m using the machine for gaming and graphics-heavy tasks, especially with large Photoshop files.
The CPUz report shows it’s not reaching the expected performance. The power supply is Corsair RM850i and the cooler is Corsair H110. I managed to get it at 4.7Ghz at 1.285V with the same cooler, but I’m confident I have a solid chip.
I plan to try 4.5Ghz at 1.3V, adjusting the voltage down by 0.010 if it works well. Then I’ll test further until I find the lowest stable voltage. If that doesn’t work, I’ll increase the multiplier to 44x or higher until it’s consistent.
I adjusted my setup to 4.5Ghz at 1.3V, using the same cooler, and believe I secured a solid chip.
Begin testing at 4.5Ghz with 1.3V; if successful, reduce the voltage by 0.010 and continue until stability is achieved. If it fails at that point, increase the multiplier to 44x or higher until it works.
Regarding memory, CPUZ indicates it's running around 1000MHz, but it should be 3000MHz. Look for an OC guide if you need further assistance. This board differs significantly from my previous one in BIOS, which makes me feel a bit lost.
I adjusted my setup to 4.5Ghz at 1.3V, using the same cooler, but I’m confident I got a solid chip. Begin testing at 4.5Ghz with a lower voltage of 0.010, then continue adjusting until you find the most stable setting. If it fails at that point, try multipliers like 44x or 43x until it works.
Regarding memory, CPUZ shows it’s running around 1000MHz, but it should be 3000MHz. I’m unsure if there’s an OC guide for this issue. This motherboard differs significantly from my previous one in BIOS settings, which makes me feel a bit lost.
My DDR is double data rate and currently operates at 2000Mhz. You should be able to set your CPU speed in the BIOS—just pick the rated speed of your RAM. If you’re willing to go further, you can try increasing it again to see how much more performance you can achieve. My current speed is 3167Mhz versus its default 2133Mhz.
I'm adjusting the settings a bit differently. The CPU is currently running at around 1000MHz, but it should be set to 3000MHz. I'm trying to find an OC guide for this issue. This motherboard's BIOS is quite different from my previous one, so I might need some guidance. Also, the RAM is already running at 2000Mhz instead of its default 2133Mhz. You can set the RAM speed in the BIOS if you want, or you could try increasing it further to see how much more performance you get.
I’m adjusting the settings a bit, trying 4.5Ghz at 1.3V, and if that works well I’ll lower the voltage by 0.010 until I find the lowest stable setting. If it fails at that point I’ll increase the multiplier to 44x or more until it’s consistent.
Regarding the memory, the CPUZ says it’s running around 1000MHz but should be 3000MHz. It might help to overclock the CPU further and adjust the RAM speed in the BIOS—set your RAM to its rated speed for best results. You could also try increasing the RAM speed if you’re willing to test higher speeds. My board is running at 3167Mhz over its default 2133Mhz, so it’s already quite close to the target.
Baumy15 shared their experience with adjusting overclock settings. They mention trying 4.5Ghz at 1.3V and suggest reducing the voltage slightly if successful. They also note that their CPUZ shows 1000MHz instead of the expected 3000MHz, asking for an OC guide. The user explains their motherboard differs from previous models in BIOS settings and recommends checking RAM speed settings. They advise increasing RAM voltage to 1.3V for better stability and mention testing higher speeds after adjusting CPU overclocks.
everything looks good, temps are cool and no throttling, try dropping the voltage little by little until it becomes stable, or alternatively you could try upping the multiplier a bit more
It is stable right now though. Voltage in bios is set to manual at 1.28 I don't know why it's showing differently in AIDA. The temps are on average 6-8c higher with this voltage vs everything on stock.
