TS, you already at the event? take some photo lar~~
Lets meetup

thanks for the tips bro..
with VCCSA 1.20v Vccio 1.15v
it's easy to POST,but still cant get it stable
i think,i might have a bad IMC chip..

It could be IMC issue, BIOS settings or mobo incompatibility.
FYI, ASUS makes 4 dimms setup easier with their T-Topology featuring on their Z77 and latest chipsets.

hmm dont get it how gaygay on stock for 2133mhz on 4770k the read on aida is so high at 32k.

Wrong thread bro
It might be something to do with the timings that are tighten on Gigabyte especially the tRRSR. You should compare it with MVIE.

Oops mistake. But found my mistake. Now 30k on all at 2133. Testing stability. Finally better than m4e

Back to the correct thread.

any of guys got choppy sound problem with maximus 5 gene?

i got mine where it keep popping up " what device u connected "

Realtek. this is so annoying. been googling it up and found got few other similar cases, they end up RMA'ing the board.

Any of u got solution to that? not a good time for me to RMA the board. lazy to wait

sigh

1. use WDM a.k.a. default sound driver
2. disable front panel detection & power management

get latest audio drivers from asus..that solve for mine when i upgrade to windows 8..

Wow.. Thats kinda risky. One wrong move and its over.
Using a blade requires steady hand and patience. I tried to delid using a razor before. Failed miserably.
Hahah...

There is always a risk in delidding. I don't dare to try it thou.

i just delid my i3570k and apply the noctua NT-H1.
it doesnt seem to any different in temp.
i was thinking is it my thermal paste aspired or the way i apply it wrong?

i also found out my thermal paste is too dry cause this thermal paste have been 2 year old since i have it.

anyone have any clues?

did you reapply the thermal paste inside? recommend to use higher end TIM.

i cleaned up and replied it.
higher end TIM as ACRTIC MX-4 ?
any suggestion ?

Yes, MX-4. As well as IC Diamond.

if you can get Artic silver 5 then nicer

If your place has RadioShark store, can walk in to have a look, they got carry artic silver products..

Hi OC sifus,

I just bought a new costa rica chip 3570k..dunno whether this is good but that's what I think so far. this chip so far stable at:
4.5GHz @ 1.165v
4.6GHz @ 1.225v

and now I'm running at 4.8GHz and still testing. Vcore at 1.335v set in BIOS so far no stability issue(super pi/crysis 3/3dmark11) but later tonight will run LinX and P95.
any 3570k owner care to share their OC and vcore please? sorry I'm not going to read previous pages cause its too much 100++ pages .

anyhow this 3570k is definitely better than my previous 3770k which needs ~ 1.41v at 4.8GHz. here's a screenshot after finishing Super Pi check:




update: 5.0GHz for this cpu needs 1.45v to be able to bootup to windows..gonna try crysis3 later see if it can hold up or not, wongtheboy proc is even better than this but nonetheless this 3570k is still better than prev 3770k in terms of oc

Greetings to all the experts on this thread.

I've been stress testing my 3770K @ 4.4Ghz using the custom prime95 test for 6+ hours, and it appears to be stable thus far.
I'm concerned that I've got a 'bad' chip though. Is my chip is running unusually hot for a modest 500Mhz overclock?

Screenshot:


BIOS settings, misc details:


Assuming Prime95 runs fine for at least another 6 hours, would the above settings be reasonably safe for long term use?

Nice chip bro. You should be able to run 5.0 for 24/7 if you decided to delid it.

Your temps looks normal for an overclocked Ivy, even though it is just a moderate OC.
Once the stability test passed for long hours, the OC should be fine for 24/7.
Instead of auto vCore, I'd set manually @ ~ 1.184v. Auto means you let mobo BIOS decides for you. Try lower vCore, if possible.

Ok. Thanks for the reassurance on the temps.

Managed to run prime95 14+ hours without issues thus far.


Addendum to my previous post:
I previously tried to OC to 4.5Ghz, but core0 failed prime95 barely 4 hours into the test. After fiddling around in the BIOS several times, now my CPU multiplier simply won't go above 44x, even though I've defined the limit to be 45x. Hence the discrepancy in the multiplier value shown in CPUz.
