overclock

hi all newbie here just joined wishing you all well can anyone explain this please all inputs welcome, did overclock to what I wanted 4.6 in bios. xmp sync all cores set my voltage to 1.270 set on manual all my other settings were ok exit. ran aida 64 for 4 hours all well voltage never went above 1.284 my highest temps did not exceed 63 c, thought great that will do nice. then I decided to give it a quick realbench stress yes quick was the word it crashed in less than3 minutes now should I have given it more voltage to get ok from realbench and which stress monitor do I belive ps this is my 1st build and overclocking experince

Got bored again...

It appears that the thermal paste has had time to bond. I attempted another 5-Way Optimization that also, tried for 5Ghz after passing at 4.9Ghz. I'm pretty sure I can hit 5Ghz as my voltage readout was still under 1.4v, but why?

ok I will not stress in adaptive again , bios is 1401 when I looked it said no need to change . as if I new how anyway I keep reading , now do I use xmp anymore my ram is 3000 worked under xmp but now seems to be 2133 also can I aim a bit higher or just take a tiny bit of , at this stage which way to go I entered my specs but must have done it wrong hey how do I post photo shots done iy once but cant find it now my realbench is 2.42 I cannot put in a memory amount does it still account for that

(trainut) well first off realbench automaticity finds your system specs (Its in the box at the top right of the realbench panel) second xmp has to be selected to rum your ram at 3000MHz that's why its running at 2133MHz id run xmp mode personally but this may affect your overclock stability. if I were you id set xmp on enter 1.3v-1.35v on cpu and put it in manual mode and see how high I can go before becoming unstable then once I'm done stress testing set cpu to adaptive mode. ps I've seen your pc specs on your profile page but I haven't tried to upload any photos so cant help with that

if I have got this right, if I use xmp I get my ram at 3000. if I use manual I get 2133. but may lose stability in xmp on a stress test. if that is the case I may as well stick to my happy 4.6 and buy ram at 2133 is that a better choise

Hey trainut,

I attempted with 2133mhz at first, just to eliminate memory as a contributing factor if I wasn't able to reach system stability. Once I achieved stability, I set XMP profile to 3200mhz and added voltage till stability was achieved (Making sure I did not go over my memories max voltage). Then I played with the cache multiplier and jumped the gun on that, before realizing that 45x was the most I could achieve, cache-wise, until my system was stable.

As far as screen captures, I just used "microsoft paint" and alt+printscreen, to capture the pics of the "Dual Intelligence Processors" window and CPU-Z, my phone to capture the "5-way Optimization" attempts. Use the paperclip function on the forum reply window to (attach a jpeg) to post.

Good Luck

you should be fine in xmp mode just remember to put cpu cache/core voltage in manual when stress testing then back to adaptive mode when your done as that could affect your results, also your ram will be fine running at a slower speed no need to replace it your just not getting the most out of it. id be supresed if you cant run xmp with a 4.6GHz overclock though

ok left it xmp all afternoon 1.344 got my 3000 also leaving it till 6 then going adaptive max temps 71c

sounds all good man hope advise helped 😄

hope the photos made it . I have gone to 4.7 now can someone look at photos to see if its ok also why does core vid,. go down when at 100% ie say1.260 and on say13% go to 1.360 stressed on aida temps high 73c on realbench 66c approx. I have yet tested in xmp mode but do I need it the cpu seems the bit I require

looks good to me, trainut. That is how Adaptive Mode works, congrats!
