to buy Ivy or Haswell for OC & gaming? Its new set btw, The last time I OC was Q6600 & E2180. Please advice sifu.

anyone oc haswell with 125 bclk instead of 100? with same cpu freq, higher bclk required lower vcore?

4.6G @ 1.376v (bios set 1.36v)... weird, same ram freq & timing required 1.575vdimm to prime for 4.5g stable, however need 1.65vdimm for 4.6g...why huh? 

Open RealTemp
Execute Task Manager > Performance tab
Launch Prime95
Choose custom, min FFT 128k, mem to use (see task manager for available mem)
Start stressing
Monitor the max temp make sure it doesn't exceed 100C (TJmax) - speed will go down (throttled) if TJmax is hit to protect the CPU from overheating
Stress it for 3 hours +
Don't stop priming & open CPU-Z
Take screenshot including Prime95 + CPU-Z + Task Manager + RealTemp

yes, i use 1344k, 85% of mem used for testing

btw, if stressing with prim95 and restart without bsod, normally is due to insufficient of what voltage?

the chance of heat issue is small, since my cpu temp. never exceed 80degC under prim95 stressing

off day and nothing to do at home, so I decide to replace the thermal paste in between IHS and HSF from CLU to IC7...at the same time, swap my ram to black slot and checking the ram version 

looks like no significant different between CLU and IC7, but one thing that I noticed when I removed the HSF, either my IHS or HSF no flat enough, got a concave as the CLU is not really touch at the center area...

CLU

IC7

btw, my corsair vengeance pro 1866cl9 is rev5.29... and according to the corsair ram ic, they are hynix based ic...any comment?

nope, in between die and IHS still CLU... I believe temperature will become worse if change to other thermal paste 

those timing is 1T or 2T? currently i'm able to run 2133 @ 9-11-10-27, 1T 1.65v

2400 9-11-10? dont think my ram can do...cant even boot at 2400 cl10 
btw, does Hynix ic like high voltage? whats the typical voltage?

guys, what is the stock voltage of 4670k? google didnt give me answer.

Just run hyperpi for fun and the first time, 4.6GHz, 1066 @ 9-11-10-27, 1T

May i know the price is from which seller? from LYP - viewnet is rm935. thats a great rm100 saving.

^i'll juz grab it off from LYP 2moro.
Seems like a great board that packed with all these feature. thxs for d recommendation. will be back later for OC. 

well, for me everything is overpriced compare to US. from photography equipment to pc item, we have higher mark-up.
but for the ease of warranty purpose, can't help. else postage charge to US will be quiet pain. ur post juz make me  grab it and shall be it. don't think so much else will be in doubt again.

btw, have you actually fried any cpu/gpu/mobo before?

great. if i can't find the 1 i want, i'll juz grab as urs.
also, do you need to install any software provided by Asus in their CD?
i need to install the LAN driver to get my network working. i think i'll do clean install 2night to prevent driver conflict.

noted. since i migrate from different board and the driver still left inside, might got conflict in later on.
decided to get PH-TC14PE since its much cheaper than D14 n the performance is great too. (going AIO 240mm give me the headache to find the rad support for my casing as well).

oh yea. does the network/dl speed on Hero/Intel Gigabit is better?
i ask this coz yesterday i pre-load BF4 and notice that it hits 700kb/s high and stable at 650++ which i never encounter or reach before. (prior stable is 550+ and 600 at max)

Is this fine? 

Is the new Linx stressing too much? Because with the older Linx I could do 4.4ghz without throttling. I'll try to reduce the vcore. My cpu ring ratio is at 4ghz.

need you to explain a bit for my understanding.

why is it considered not successful?

wouldn't that be more like not-so-optimal? because he did reach 4.3ghz and looks stable.

and why is it you say that it's throttled?

and so you determine throttle by LinX Gflops?

interesting. your definition of "not successful OC" is very strict.

my definition of fail is can't reach OS and can't run decently stable. i see his, can run 25minutes LinX i would consider successful already.

sorry ah, not so advanced in OCing so will ask you Q.

from his screenshot, how you see it's throttled? Based on LinX Gflops?
