Pteroduck Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I finally decided to overclock my ivy bridge cpu i was looking on the internet and look at some OC guides, i found it odd that they just said to raise the multiplier, slowly increase vcore, and decrase cpu pll what kind of frustrated me is that they dont tell you what settings you turn on and off on the fx-8150 system i have, there are lots of guides that tell you what to turn on and off Can anyone help me out? im using the msi-z77a gd65 board oh and i put the xmp profile to profile 1, that puts my ram at 1866 right?

Pteroduck Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 i got 4.5ghz on 1.3v, seems a bit high? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Not really, My 3770K ES takes 1.325 for 4.7. My first retail will do 4.8 with the same 1.325v and the last one is still in a box waiting for the rest of the parts for my daily driver replacement. What board and memory are you using?

Puck Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Newer 3770ks are not OCing as well as the older ones. Mine that I bought not too long ago also needs 1.3v for 4.5, and 1.38 to be stable IBT/Prime stable at 4.7. Stinks when I see old threads of guys hitting 4.8+ on less voltage! It runs way hotter then a lot of them too, even after delidding, so I settled on 4.6ghz for a 24/7 OC. Some guys are even worse, hitting walls at 4.5ghz and can't get 4.7 stable even with over 1.4v.

Overclocking potential changes from chip to chip. And it always happens when we can see overclocking potential of some batch is better than other batches. Unless one can 'find' the golden chip, buyers should be happy with that they have got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah, mine's hitting 4.8GHz with 1.41V's on my P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Oh man, i guess i got a bit lucky then, im getting 4.5ghz with 1.3v 24/7, its hot as hell under load as well, 79c with a full watercooling loop! By the way, im using the msi-z77a gd65 board i read on an old thread long ago that someone got 1.1v with 4.8ghz on another tech site, forgot which, thats how i was persuaded to buy this motherboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember they have a ~200mhz advantage over SB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
