I'm getting weird shit error with prime. The more I test the quicker I get the errors.

I don't even know whether it is the ram or what not now lol

no lar I'm not letting the mobo auto OC

5.1ghz still freaking priming

CPU Vcore: 1.455 (underload 1.448)
DDR Voltage: 1.55 (gave it +0.05)
VCCIO: 1.10 (underload 1.118)
CPU PLL: 1.725 (underload 1.720)

LLC: 75% (ultra high)
Current Protection: 140%
VRM Switching freq: 350
Phase Control: Extreme
PWM Mode: Extreme

If I set LCC to 100% I get vcore of 1.47 and that lasts 8 hours easily.

Ive never gotten BSOD when priming usually if it fails, it's only 4th core that fails. I only get BSOD x101 if I deliberately lower vcore to 1.3x when priming

I'm doing custom blend now FFT 128 14745 MB Ram. How long do I need to run this? I usually do two sets - 1 x small FFT, 1 x blend. Blend would sometime fail, small FFT never fails

6 hours so far

maybe ill just leave it overnight for this time. This is having my ram run at 1333 though

Added on August 30, 2011, 10:06 amFailed prime at 8hr mark again. I woke up and AI Suite was showing 0V on everything. I think AI suite is messed up, I'm now priming without it.

Continued priming at 2048 - 4096.

Yeah I keep a small FFT and blend running at the same time.

So I started to prime again from 2048k since 9am this morning. 2048k was where it previously failed. It's been 6 hours since then. So technically speaking I've passed 8 + 6 = 14 hours of priming and I think this time it should not fail again. This is done with AI Suite disabled. I think it's probably better to use RC BT to access TurboV for instant adjustment.

Nanti I see if I can match u gflops or not btw, why is your temp so high? Is your ambient over 28C? Oh btw, you must have read this too, intel's datasheet for SB on PLL voltage range is 1.71 - 1.9 or something. I know we can run below 1.5V but perhaps it's better to put it at 1.71 at least.

KNN I turned off AI and it seems that I have no issue with prime. I even left voltage on Auto in Bios. But auto voltage sets vcore at 1.47V for 5.1 ghz.

Btw, I need to get AX1200 liao, dumping my hx850 in tradezone now.

Added on August 30, 2011, 8:42 pmOk updated to v26. Re-priming until 8am tomorrow. I'm pretty sure 5.1ghz is stable at 1.465-1.47 this time. I will reduce the voltage and find the optimum setting later on.

Lamptron FC-8 is coming,

8 whopping fans @ 30W each. Now I can completely silent all the GT

Also repainted my Saitek Eclipse 2 to Matte black

Don't know if this is a good idea, the temperature is extremely high on IBT Custom (almost all rams)

Just disable the igpu LUCID thingy in bios, i notice immediate reduce of wattage as shown by real temp 3.67. And also the temp reduce 3'c during folding or 100% loaded in 8 threads with 4.5ghz@1.312v.
BTW the igpuv increases from 0.45 to 0.999v. And there is only one device selection in cpu-z.
This is the temp initially when i learned OC from Gurus Owi

hi this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1958355 or asus mive-z? which better for oc?

hey guys...i been running prime 95 BLEND nightly at 4.7 GHZ 2500K but wake up this morning saw my screen lock ups..No BSOD but simply hang with no display on screen..i do manually restart it and check back prime log, it hang start from 3am..before sleep, i saw my temp hover around 75-80..is this because of ram??

yup, i enable CPU PLL overvoltage at 1.7V to make sure i can boot into windows..will try your setting later..
my chip require a lot of vcore to make it stable..do still have costa rica 2600K..??

costa rica chip is lower in vcore requirement, but has difficulty to go above 5ghz.

Am i wrong?

Added on September 7, 2011, 7:45 amsome lucky one can get bad ass costa rico chip with lower vcore requirement.

Golden bath = 3103B375 ?

u really know to make me happy.   

reading from real temp 3.67 at stock 3.4

headache wit this 

hi to all sifu, wanna ask smtg...
is d MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) good overclocker? any1 own this mobo can share ur thought?

my temp seem fluctuate..on the 1 core is lower compared to other 3 core..i think need to repaste and resit..

Hi all,

I just got my PC yesterday and decide to OC it a bit (not much just to 4ghz). I'm using an i5 2500k . I have come across one particular problem though. This happened right after the pc decided to go into 'hybrid sleep' mod  .

I'm using the Asrock z68 extreme4 and the Asrock extreme tuning utility (AXTU), Core Temp and CPU-Z all show different CPU speeds/ratios.
Both the AXTU and Core Temp show the OC at 4Ghz without any fluctuation , i don't think this is right since i have Smartstep(or whats its name  ) enabled in bios and it should be dropping my speed on idle. Also the Vcore shown in the AXTU seems low (1.0xx). CPU-Z seems to be the most accurate one since its constantly changing my core speed.

Anyone know what the issue could be? . I've tried updating the bios to no avail. Also tried putting bios settings to defaults and it the Bios and CPU-Z showed fluctuations from 3.6 to 3.7 Ghz instead (how can this be when stock is 3.3  )



Thanks in advance!

Wow, why your PC temp can reach that low? Water cooling or normal heatsink cooling?

This is my current specs. I don't know whether the temp is like this or I have made mistake somewhere.

Asrock P67 Pro 3
i5 2500k @ 4.6GHz / Spread Spectrum Enabled | TurboBoost Enabled (Apparently it won't go above stock without this enabled)
Sycthe Ninja 3 CPU Cooler with Arctic MX4 applied
4GB Kingston ValueRam DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5v (Overclocked to 1600MHz with 7-8-7-18 @ 1.6v)
Guess the rest is junk information.

Benchmarking hit hard on the temperature, but I never had any BSOD / CTD during normal operation. Been using this setting for almost 2-3 months. Is it normal to have this temperature?

My idle temperature is about 35C-40C though.

So I guess it's considered fine for current specification, and I actually planned to overclock my CPU to 4.8GHz or 5.0GHz, but the stress test temperature scared me off.

golden chip?
