Progress
Start from ktek did some test on Core i5 sample from Intel. It seems like this unreleased version of Intel DH87MC mobo is flashed with Intel Extreme Board BIOS, H87 chipset can adjust CPU multiplier!!
Working around the UEFI BIOS is quite simple with suprisingly smooth mouse movement (ktek, Kelvin approved ) but BCLK adjustment & settings are somewhat buggy

By sliding the CPU multiplier glider, BIOS show unlocked 4.5ghz . After getting into windows, CPU-Z only reports stock speed 3GHz with turbo @ 3.2GHz
We were fed up with the outcome. Did some short test with samsung DDR2133c10 kit only stable with DDR1333 or 1600c9.

nothing dramatic, just do some benchmark for HWBOT submittion.

======================
Without wasting time, we switched to the main show of the day. Intel Core i7-4770K (Haswell architecture)
According to Kelvin's source, this chip is newer batch from Malaysia. Our initial target is achieve CPU clock 4500-4600MHz stable within acceptable Vcore and temperature. That will be quite a respectable speed becos the same day owikh84 just managed to push 4.7GHz using customized water cooling system.

our test system configuration:


CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100
Thermal Compound: Cooler Master Ice Fusion
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP
RAM: several kits of Corsair Dominator & G.Skill DDR3
GC: Sapphire HD4850
SSD: Corsair Force GS120
PSU: Gigabyte PoweRock 500W
WiFi: Dlink DWA-132

Assembling pics

Prepping test configuration


mounting H100 to gaygay mobo


screw on!


system is up, straight and normal. cool glowing blue LED from CM120 fan


rare hardware @ powerock 500, CM ice fusion, toilet roll?


stock speed wprime (8 thread) 1.094vcore


4.6GHz require 1.2vcore
using Dominator 1600 @ DDR2600c10


4.7GHz up 1.25vcore


4.8GHz up 1.335vcore

This 4770K gives good indiction as a low vcore chip.
So, Ace has suggested to OC it straight away 5.0GHz

Since the temperature shoot up very high, we switched to superpi 32M (1 thread)


BS0D ~!@#$%^


asking tips and tactics from owikh84


sifu serious face ok tweaking memory with high vdimm


H100 also very serious now


finally we got it stable superpi 32M !


Gaygay Z87 black VS Dominator 1600 black. Good job to both of them


now test G.Skill turn


ok it is samsung chip *tapau back*


switched to Dominator GT, hard to make it stable DDR3000

Force GS120 hanging at the edge (background voice: "belkin la" in hokkien)


Conclusion
We ended this gathering around 9PM ++
This Gigabyte Z87-D3HP mobo is quite a capable one to keep up and endure during our 4770K overclocking
Good buy below RM500
Haswell integrated memory controller is more aggresive than Ivy Bridge which lose out some DRAM MHz
PoweRock 500W ayam so banggla

Thanks for the bangla version,
Ayam so bangla when we hit 5.0GHz in just a short while. Kelvin said it was first in Malaysia,
Ayam damn bangla that time.

What made us able to hit 5.0GHz was unlimited cigarette supply
Your coke, only 150ML,

Hmm i still dont c how this shld get a thread
More like kopitiam oc with pictures.

Nope. That goes to bob(nz)

true, it is kopitiam style random OC as a our starting point.
feel free to comment, we will take ur feedback as improvement in the future activities (become more professional way)
& thanks for visiting this thread


oops, he's quick with that.
we should have try push higher MHz before dismiss

Hmm hard to compete with him unless ure a ln2er.
