Please Help New To Over Clocking ! Presets OC unstable ?

[MerkinEm]

Hello Everyone ! i finally made it to over clocking motherboard and K Series ! 🙂 even though its only i7 7700k ! and the asus rog maximus hero . i know its old ! its not like the 8th gen or anything but i mean this is good enough for me to even practice on ! but anyways enough of that ! ..


I have been trying everything overclocking it ! with presets watch videos on youtube ! but i cant seem to get anything stable without the screen freezing or making the stuttery sound and my windows will just crash ! if anyone would be able to help me out or DM me ! it would be great !


PC SPECS
i7 7700k
Asus Rog Maximus IX Hero
DDR 4 ( 2x4 )8GB Frequncy is 2133 ( think each one of the Memory )
Liquid Cooling - Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240
1x: 250gb Samsung Evo SSD
1x : 500 GB HDD
PSU : Thermaltake 600W

not sure what else i need to put ! If im Missing Something please let me know .!

Hi,

Have you checked out our guide on Edge Up? Have a read through this, if you're still having trouble after the fact come back and let us know.

Hello , so for 7700k has to be delidded ? even if its just lets say example overclocking it to 4.6 w/ presets ? or even going futher higher to like 4.8 - 4.9 GHZ?

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, I would take the time to read the guide. The initial results table is pre-delidding and expanded upon later down the page after repasting.

Which part?

You need to establish a baseline for stability.


1) Turn off XMP and return memory to default settings

2) Apply a VCore of 1.25 (Manual or adaptive) and an all core ratio of 48. Start by running AIDA64 CPU Test (Not FPU) for 1 to 2 hours.

Would you please do this for me.

Set defaults in bios, F5 and then enter.

With your system now running at factory default settings open up your hardware monitor software. I am interested in temp of each of the cores.

Run only one monitoring application as multiple open will mess with the sensors and give false readings.

Now run realbench stress test for a few minutes.

I want to see what your min and max temps are during the stress test. Also what your default voltage is at idle and under 100% load. I am sure we can do something OC wise for you mate.
