NEW MMO-Champion CPU Overclocking Leaderboards

[DeltrusDisc]

Ah, sounds good!

If anyone has any suggestions, or thinks AIDA64 is good enough, I'm all ears. I'd like some input and I'd like to revive this thread a bit!

Success on the first try! Probably because I gave it a bit more voltage than it likely needed. :P I'll be bumping up the multiplier today whilst working.

Name: DeltrusDisc
Processor: i7-5820K
Clock: 3.7GHz
Voltage: 1.215v
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (lol)

I think nearly 10 hours is a long enough run.

[Ghâzh]

10 hours for 3.7GHz. >.< Oh well at least it's stable now..

Did you try how high it'd boot with 1.215V?

[DeltrusDisc]

I'll be doing something like that shortly here. I kept the voltage the same but bumped the multi to 38x, and it went through 1h46m of AIDA64 Extreme before I stopped it. I had gone to work but got to come home early, so I was happy with this. Going to be bumping the multi again and again, till it needs more voltage. It honestly probably needs less for this, but whatever. 1.215v is still very safe.

Also, via Facebook Cyanotical pointed out an issue with using AIDA64 as the stress testing tool... it's no longer free after 30 days. =X

I suppose we'll go back to OCCT as it is free, unless you want to cough up for the Pro version, but I doubt most of us need Pro, anyways. :P

Here is what I am going to do though, I'm going to leave both OCCT and AIDA64 as options. People can pick and choose as they please which they'd like to use.

I just checked that for Aida64. It was working. I unistalled it, i deleted some leftover files it had left behind, rebooted pc and re-installed. Worked again.

[DeltrusDisc]

Oh, so you mean like you furthered your 30 day trial period? :P More power to ya!

After talking further with Cyanotical, I think this thread is going to become a little more friendly to people. Basically, if the program runs your CPU at 100% and you can have it go constantly for at least 8 hours, then that's good.

12 minutes into OCCT so far at 3.9ghz 1.215v. I wonder what the cutoff will be...

[Cyanotical]

yeah i went to run aida to test my 4.9 clock and it was like "U PAY MONEY! U BUY!"

there are plenty of ways to check stability, if you wanted to be insane, you could run a deep Mandelbrot set, which would take 6-8 months of 100% cpu usage,

but i think for most people not ever crashing is "stable". whether it holds up to validation or not is irrelevant, perhaps let anyone post their clocks, and then put a * next to those with an 8 hour stability run

[DeltrusDisc]

I was pondering the other day saying to post a picture with maybe 7 days of up time and cpu id. Maybe the asterisk for 8 hour run as well is a good idea. I'm liking where we are going... I just don't want it to be stupid easy like the last thread with no assurance that the oc was stable for over 10 minutes... If that. -.-

- - - Updated - - -

4.2ghz testing is now happening. 1.215v still. Cinebench succeeded. OCCT is going.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Something I noticed was that computer games can be much more picky than stress test tools. I had "stable" overclocks crash in WoW, for example.

[DeltrusDisc]

4.2ghz testing failed after 19 minutes of OCCT last night at 1.215v wa wa.

[kassy]

if only I had a mobo that allowed OC, my dual x5690 would rip most of you apart <3 but alas, I don't

[Cyanotical]

that hasn't been able to rip anything apart since 2011

Soooo... what do you do with those?

- - - Updated - - -

Overclocking update... 4.2GHz is proving the most difficult clock to get stable so far. First test ended with a 19 minute in OCCT error stop, then the next? Well... couldn't get the display to come back on, however the computer was still on. Assuming it had a fault.

[Sancia]

Hello!
Thought I'd try and contribute to the thread as well with my own OC stuff. :>

I've previously had a good read through the Haswell OC guide over at overclock, just to read up on ...things. Anyway, after my last upgrade and complete cleaning out the computer for dust, I forgot to save my old OC settings which I had been using for a little while.

I am wanting to give OCing my rig another attempt but wanted to make sure that I do it completely right before anything else.

Going from stock speeds and upping the modifier without messing with uncore, vring and enabling xmp is there any particular indication of when you need to up the voltage? Thinking more in the lines of the BSOD error codes as Windows not being able to load is a dead giveaway. I've read a lot of different things about that but I've mostly gotten more confused than educated I feel the more I read about it. Some people also mentioned that you could or should underclock the uncore a wee bit before going for the multiplier.

Also, for stability testing before going for that next multiplier are you guys just runningg stress test X for Y time?

My setup is a 4770k with an Asus VI Formula board. Any tips or help from the more knowledgeable of you would really be appreciated!

[DeltrusDisc]

Basically I suggest upping the VCore when OCCT errors out/Windows BSODs under high load, or hell, if the computer can't even boot up into Windows.

As for me! ;D

It's official:

So that was with ram @ 1866?

[DeltrusDisc]

Uh, no. 2133Mhz. Multiply the 1066.5 * 2 and you get 2133.

DDR bro, DDR.

[Deleted]

Yeap, didn't even look at ... despite that...looks good. On my haswell was a pain above 4.4 to keep 1866. Or wasn't persistant enough lol.

[DeltrusDisc]

Haswell vs Haswell E. There's quite a difference, dude. :P

[Saithes]

Haswell vs Haswell E. There's quite a difference, dude. :P

Only 2 sticks of RAM on a Quad Channel board? O.o

[DeltrusDisc]

Only 2 sticks of RAM on a Quad Channel board? O.o

Yes yes yes. I was on a bit of a budget and didn't want to go over it. I can get matched RAM sticks and go quad channel, don't you worry. They're running in dual channel anyways, and it's working just fine. lol
