I will be upgrading after Raya... No money right now

@owikh any chance u delidding your 4770k? want to see how's the temp when using coollaboratory liquid pro/ultra!

Hi everyone. Just completed my Haswell build. Need help regarding stress testing. How much should I set memory block size in aida to stress RAM and CPU? And when running prime95, should I set the min FFT 128k or just left it to 8k? From the previous post by stasio, small FFT is hotter...

Also, I'm trying to stress test with LinX but keep getting error "stopped unexpectedly (not enough memory)". I'm using LinX 0.6.4
Solved. LinX 0.6.5 runs fine

My stable 4.5GHz i7-4770k. Sudden spike on temp but not throttled... reduced to 4.4GHz for 24/7 used. Proceeding to OC'ing uncore. Using Corsair H80 push-pull with Liquid Ultra TP. More specs on my sig. Hope can add me to the first page

Thanks!!! My Prodigy too crowded liao with all my HDD. Also, no money after upgrade from ivy... Thinking of saving money for next year/2year for Haswell-E water cooling project

Already changed back to 4.5GHz for 24/7 used. Now, need to find some time to OC the RAM that I bought from @stasio!!! Hehe

Yup. But does it really require that high of voltage? According to stasio's sell thread it can do 2933 12-15-15-38-CR1 @ 1.70V and the timing can even be lower...

Understood... thanks

Hello everyone. Need help overclocking my 4770k on Z97 Maximus VII Hero... My specs are as my signature.

I have overclocked my 4770k to 4.0GHz for initial testing. However, once im inside windows, the max clock im getting from CPU-Z is only 3.5GHz. But the multiplier section is showing from (8 - 40). Even running AIDA64, it is still maxing at 3.5GHz instead of 4.0GHz under full load. I have turned off most of the energy saving features (that i can think off) but still no luck. I have tried following OC guide but still no luck too...

When I set the boot performance mode to max turbo performance, the bios did show 4.0GHz max clock. But once inside windows still the same.

I have Asus AI suite installed and tried the auto OC option. It OCed to 4.2GHz. But still maxing at 3.5GHz under full load/stress test.

Need advise on which BIOS options is the culprit locking the max clock. Or is it possible that my OS is locking the max clock? I want to avoid reformatting my OS if possible. I will try it as last resort...

PS: Here is my bios and cpu-z screenshot (http://imgur.com/a/T9bQy)

found the culprit... it was my realtemp ti setting. i have disable turbo ticked. no wonder the core kept clocking down once inside windows. i have it on start up. silly me! back to overclocking again. will post results once i found satisfying oc

and thanks for the help
