NEW MMO-Champion CPU Overclocking Leaderboards

[DeltrusDisc]

Fantastic! Welcome to the board!

Er, to an even more prestigious position of the board. O.o

Did a run with the same settings two days ago, but was held back by temps.
Although I didn't have any sanding paper, I did have some metal polish I used on the IHS and the H100 block which seemed to help.

Not quite sure if that alone should have made that much of a difference though o.O

Probably just a repaste that did it.

It's been about a week or two since I replaced it last time though, as I was having severe temp issues then, and realized my radiator was FULL of dust.
Decided to remove the fan I had on the side panel after that, as that seemed to be the culprit.

Have you considered the ThermalRight Silver Arrow Extreme?

I did, but it seems its install is more of a pain in the ass and its a bit louder. I will most likely customize the fans tho, since I don't really care for the color of the Noctua fans. Just depends on if I even get it, lol

[Majesticii]

So i've tuned the overclock now. Tomorrow during some home renovations ill let the test run. So 4.7ghz @ 1.375V inc. I set out that i wouldn't exceed 1.4V (even though thermals allow it), and 4.8 wouldn't stay stable under 1.4V.

Will chime back in tomorrow with the 8hr run. : )

From what I can tell, LinusTechTips modded a ThermalRight Silver Arrow to use the Noctua NF-F12 fans, or whatever fans are on the D14, as the Silver Arrow has a bigger array of heatpipes and fins.

So at about an hour it stopped, i think at the 4.7ghz level the board might be lacking in terms of power delivery or there is something else wrong because i couldn't fix it with more vcore. But to be fair, it's an itx board and not really built for overclocking. I think for a gaming board, it did avidly.

So i dropped 50mv and got a successful 4.6ghz @ 1.35V run.

Really liking those temps

Did you try to lower the ring ratio to see if that helped up the core?

[Majesticii]

hm i thought you needed to keep it ~300 lower than the cpu-clock.
I used 1.9V VCCIN ringclock about 4.2 or 4.3ghz. XMP was on.

I didn't really fiddle around with the PWM much and i left all the OCP/OVP protections on.

Drop the Ring down to 4.0 or 3.9. Keep XMP set to off for the tests. XMP profiles don't scale very well with highly clocked Haswells (past 4.6, they scale down better than up).

ATM, im running XMP @ 1600mhz, with a 1:1 ring / core ratio @ 4.2Ghz. anything higher, and I have to leave the ring alone, and go up in voltage and multi, while lowering the XMP to 1333.

Yeah, I've seen that vid before. Me being a freak with numbers like surface area and speed of dissipation .. the D14 has close to dbl the surface area, while utilizing smaller heatpipes to speed it along. the SAE is nice, but the D14, from what I can tell, is actually a smidge better at the job. I'll have to do more digging, and see if I can find an actual SAE vs D14 comparison. YouTube yields the Original Silver Arrow vs the original D14, but not the current versions of either, sadly.

For my 4.7GHz, I had the Input Voltage set to 1.95v and the Ring Ratio set to 30.
as Gravewyrm said, XMP profiles can hinder your overclock sometimes, so it's best to just keep your RAM at 1333MHz during testing.
Currently seeing how high I can get my Ring Ratio while keeping the 4.7Ghz Core. As far as the info I've seen, it doesn't really affect performance much, so not too concerned about it

Careful what you wish for... I've gone for over a month before! Dare ye awaken that beast?

lol, you respond but not update the post? +)

[DeltrusDisc]

Yes and I saw the post, no need to link me.

You'll only be pestering me more and delay your entry onto the leaderboards more!

[Gravewyrm]

Took the MSI board back, and the CPU. They wouldn't do anything with my APU and MoBo, so, .... ive those for sale.. Heh. Underwhelmed with the general batch / lot that the 2 4670k's came from. Both clock exactly the same. 4.2 is "Stable" for now.. we will see.. (yes, 1:1 setup, just like on the MSI board).

To get thumbnails, choose the "Small Square" option, then use the "Linked BBCode" option.

Though I prefer people not use thumbnails and rather use direct links in this thread. It drives me nuts when people post big pictures as it makes their post not look as clean and organized and a little bit more annoying to read.
