clausm Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Hey Wev, hello IR_cow We going all the way back to uncore? Shoot That's like 1366 Bloomfield stuff there. Run it as high as possible for best results unti unstable. ;-) And with that I am done derailing this topic. But as for the OP: What cooling solution do you intend to use for this venture? Hello I am using this: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/freezer-33-plus.html Most of the time the fans aren't doing anything and the cooler acts as a passive cooler. But I think I haven't been clear in my first post: - I am NOT pursuring an all-core overclock. To the contrary. I am interested in others experiences with increasing the frequency on 1 or 2 cores only - as this is the best fit for my current games. (Battlefield V and racing-simulators). And I have found out that my motherboard supports individual frequencies for individual cores.

Braegnok Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) While let's spin-up those fans on that 4-pipe cooler and run a 30-min stress test at default settings,.. You need to ensure your cooling solution can maintain an acceptable temperature, and system is 100% stable at default settings before you start overclocking. Please read this Benchmarking & Stress Test Insights : https://rog.asus.com/articles/overclocking/realbench-benchmarking-stress-test-insights/ Install HWMONITOR and have this open while running stress test, to monitor your temps. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html Install RealBench V2.43 and run a 30-min stress test, check all the box's. https://rog.asus.com/articles/news/realbench-v2-43-new-version-available-now/ Keep an eye on your Temps while running test, if you hit 90c stop the test,.. if you pass under 90c in default settings, Congrats! Next step sync all 8-cores to 3.6GHz run 15-min test to find your best core. It's going to take several 15-min runs to determine your best core,.. then going to by-core overclocking and slowly increasing that core leaving the other 7-cores at 3.6GHz, see if you can reach your target OC of say 5.2GHz. Good Luck, have fun and post your results. Edited December 23, 2018 by Braegnok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggedout Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Is there a simpler less 'stressful' way of determining best core? When I watch HWmonitor on my 7700K one core is always running cooler, any chance you can confidently call that the 'one'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
