I have overclocked a 1660 V3 with the stock cooler. I have a feeling its rated a bit too high inters of TDP, for me the stock unit cannot cool the CPU at an acceptable level in my opinion after hitting 120 watts. Temp starts going right in the the 80s and 90s which I do not like

I got it to work. Tried 33 and 34. It just makes the thing way way too hot and it is just unsafe. I did it because people say it can increase minimum FPS in games, but it seems like until I get a beefier cooler I won't be doing it. What about RAM OC though, is there anyway to do that in Windows?

Alright guys i got 4.3 at 1.31 volts stable. Now I am moving on to cache overclocking, and immediately I cannot get the uncore ratio to go beyond stock. Do lots of OEM systems simply forbid uncore OC?

Its weird people say its easy getting the chip to 4.5 but I can't even get it to 4.2 Well when in games the cores that are utilized get to like 82-85. Also I am running 1.25 volts, I don't feel comforatble pushing it more to be honest. Only thing is I have it set at adaptive maybe I should...

I just tried 4.2 at 1.25. I increased the PP0 current limit from 170 to 190. It ran for 5 minutes (I tried out MInecraft just to make it do stuff) and then blue screened. A couple of times when it has bluescreened the fan goes to like 100%. Is that just a software bug or is the CPU actually...

I am currently runing 4.1 at 1.25 volts. Probably a bit conservative but 4.2 hit the current limit and I got tired of playing with it yesterday. At my current settings when i am playing games it gets up to like 82C, in some cases a couple of cores hit 90 which I don't want. I have the power...

Alright I have a question. When I try to adjust the turbo ratios for each core it doesn't take effect. The only thing that works is the set multiplier slide. I have gotten the system to 4.1 at 1.2 volts but I don't want to run that speed on all cores. I have it set in FIVR to 3.6 on 8 cores, and...

Yea i don't want to use XTU cause its a pain on this computer. It locks you out from overclocking unless you put the computer in sleep mode for a sec to remove the protection. Then it locks you out again at some point and you have to reinstall, so I just use TS. I know I can raise voltage but I...

I got the CPU now and I just am barely able to get it to run at 4ghz. Im using ThrottleStop 8.7 (that one actually affects the cpu in this system) and I have to increase voltage to like 1.17 for it to not instantly BSOD at 4ghz, haven't gotten it to go higher. When Im using throttlestop, do I...

Interesting. Im trying to overclock the 1660 V3 on the HP z440 which is the competitor. In TS i can only get it up to 4ghz at 1.17 volts without it getting an instant BSOD and before i had the 1660 v3 i was using a 2640 v3 with the microcode exploit you mentioned

Alright I need some help. I have a z440 with a Xeon E5 2640 V3, I have applied the "X99 Turbo Boost Unlock" hack and it runs very well. I want some more single thread performance though than I have however, so I was thinking of getting a 1650 V3 or 1660 V3 and overclocking it, but it looks a bit...
