I'll try 1T in the future

My RAM won't work at 1T. The system won't boot at all.


Looks like owikh84 answered our question lat_lonelyboyz. Plus my ambient temp might be lower due to the freezing cold outside

Anyway I have a new WC loop. Waiting for my GT-AP15s and fan controller, after that I'll try 4.7 or 4.8GHz.

I've hit my limit. Can't get close to 1.4V vcore, temps will be too high.
Now stressing 4.7GHz @ 1.34V. If this won't last for 18+ hours, that means I need to be happy at 4.6GHz.
Temps spiked to 100C at small FFTs.

Might delid in near future

Fail on the 8th hour

How much did it cost you bro? Including shipping and all.

I got around 60GFlops in LinX, but around 100GFlops in IBT. What caused the difference?

I didn't

Now that I'm using the one in post #1, I got 100+ GFlops.

I'm jealous that your 3770K can do 5GHz at 1.3V

Did you guys ever concerned about WHEA error?

You mean no WHEA errors OR no errors in LinX/Prime95?

Got you this time bro...

Usually I need extra 0.01V or 0.015V to get rid of the WHEA errors.

Here. You probably won't get it if you are using LinX, but I'm not sure.

I got 2 WHEA errors code 19 after 6 hours of LinX.

Two months is not that long to wait for

I would say yes. I can get 4.6GHz with HT on with my 3770k at that voltage, even lower. But YMMV though...

Suicide run

I might be too late to answer this but it is possible. I'm at 4.6GHz and still able to have dual boot Win 7 and ML.

Delided my 3770K and here is a 13 hours Prime95 stable 4.9GHz run.

I was about to do a 5GHz run, but I need 1.48-1.50V or more to get it stable which is too high in my point of view.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll do it eventually.

Temps won't be a problem from now on.
Changing board is not what I'm thinking right now, LOL.


You might want to try increasing the VCCIO a little bit. I increased mine in most of my OC.

Do you mean i5 3570? Yes you can, you will need to change the base clock, which in turn will affect you ram frequency.

Before that what mobo are you using? You will need to change it in your bios. Have you done overclocking before?

Here is a guide for Ivy Bridge overclocking. If you go to the first page on this forum, there are a lot of guide posted by owikh84.

Since you using a non-K processor, overclocking will be hard. I'm not sure if you can adjust the multiplier. I suppose the base clock is the only way to overclock a non-K cpu. Read the guide and ask more on what you are not sure of.
