You have to enable manual mode, then just set the main and leave initial and eventual alone.

(Like The hunter said he did). :rockout:

Also, my board doesn't have a main input voltage option. Its either only Initial or Eventual. Eventual seems to be helping more.

Yeah, HERO is a bit limited in the voltage OC options department

How much did you say that memory kit was that you said you found, that was the same as mine?

Also, I don't really see how that's limitting. If a motherboard just has one option for Input voltage I feel like that would be limitting. Where as mine has 2. One for system POST and the other for once the OS loads.

I am really tempted to try for 4.6, but I don't really want to go much higher then 1.34v.

Yeah, but you don't understand what you're doing other than changing something that lets you OC more, so you don't understand my comment. I was referring to offering OFFSETs rather than fully manual options, not the input voltage. :p

Compare that BIOS to the GENE, IMPACT, FORMULA or EXTREME, and you'd understand better.

Right, additional base voltage definitely did the trick. Although I used a bit different settings in the end.

cpu offset voltage +0.020v
turbo aditional 1.249v
total adaptive 1.269v, or real 1.268v in windows.

This makes max max core voltage 1.280v on all 4 cores, not bad.
@ 1.278- 1.284v it makes core voltage 1.294v


I was also able to lower cpu current back to 120%.

I think I got a junk chip, or my mobo sucks. It takes 1.3v for me to get 4.4Ghz stable on my 4770k...

That is how my chip is. Then for 4.5 I have it at 1.34v.

I want to try for 4.6, but I don't want to go higher then 1.35v, as I think Haswell degrades faster after 1.35v.

Good for them, I suppose. Now, if only they'd done this in the first place.

Watched a Tech Tips vid on 4770k OC'ing and he mentioned that populating all the dims can effect OC ability. I'd rather have my RAM than gain another 100mhz or so.

Didn't have any impact at all for me, really, running 4x4 GB @ 2666 MHz.

nah I have 4x4 gb kit and works flawless :), I even Oc'ed them from 2133 to 2400mhz, all this @ 4.7ghz and cache 4.2ghz.
But for that I had to a little higher ram current % and higher vccsa offset voltage.


edit: like Dave said

Still pretty good volts though. Temps would be better id assume as well.

yes 7C cooler on avg, that 4.7ghz @ 1.36v (H110) acts as mine now at 1.27v or even 4.6ghz @ 1.232v (H90 custom pp).

Although this H90 cooler can't handle anything more then 1.3v+, goes ~80C+ in something like x264fhd or Cinebench15 or Fritzchessmark really quick.


Worst case scenario now @ LP2 - fixed cpu test (jobthread=8), after its a bit warmer inside the case, still ok imo :)
well this LP2 heats up like Cinebench15. Never seen it this high in games, usually max 62-65C, avg 45-55C.
LP3.jpg

nvm that weird 103mhz reading, guess its a pcie glitch
Im using fixed 6Ohm dbl for 100mhz strap which makes fixed 100.029mhz pcie clock.

Hmm, suppose that just further points to a shit 4770, lol. Stick with my 4.4 @ 1.295v. =[

Guess I'll try eeking a couple hundred Mhz out of the ring frequency now.

I picked up a 4770K yesterday and notice core temp stops reading when I put the cpu under full load like Cinibench.

Whats a good temp reader to use with these chips?

I use AIDA64, myself. IT does lose reporting under some loads, but when this happens, most often all tools have paused.

I use RealTemp, CoreTemp , AIDA64 and sometimes HWmonitor.

I haven't noticed CoreTemp doing that for me...

I'm currently "crunching" Rosetta@home with CoreTemp 1.0 RC6 and it seems to be working and reading 100% load temps?

I'd love to just run my chip naked with my EK block and their Ivy/Haswell naked mounting kit.

DO IT. OR get the Z97 MSI board that comes with the bracket...

although I suppose you'll still need the mount kit, eh? And will have to remove the socket bracket.
