CPU ratio: 42 CPU ratio: mode: Dynamic Ring ratio: 41 CPU Core Voltage: 1.250 CPU Ring Voltage: 2.225 VR efficiency management: Disabled i have a MSI G45 M/B and Evo 212 Fan Kingston HyperX Genesis 8GB (2x4GB CAS 9-9-9-27 Timings, 1.50-1.65v i want to get to a stable 4.4Ghz.

ChillKyle Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 You ever tried the baseline of using the Oc genie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I hope that vring is a typo and not 2.2v! thats way to high for a haswell and I think the safe limit is 1.2~ This How to Overclock an Intel 4770K Guide should help even though you are using a i5, a lot of it is the same. Start low and work your way up. everytime you make an adjustment, save and reset. than stress test it, repeat. If you don't want to do that than you can try the setting below but i can't say for sure if it will work, every chip is different and i have no experience with a i5 haswell. You also may want a different cooler because at 1.2v and above it's going to get hot really quick and the Evo doesn't cut it. Try CPU ratio: 42 CPU ratio: mode: Fixed Ring ratio: 39 CPU Core Voltage: 1.2 CPU Ring Voltage: 1.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
