4790k default values, help please!

[Lgn]

Hi guys, i know it sounds stupid but i need your help to find the default spec values of:

- Default core multiplier/turbo boost multiplier (1x44, 2x44, 3x43, 4x42, is this right?)
- Default multiplier/speed for the cache (40?)
- I know it's different for each motherboard but what are your Vcore and cache voltage @Default?

PS: Don't tell me to reset the bios or something like that to find the specs, that's not the case. I just need the exact values

Thanks!

Easiest would be to reset the board bios, sorry.

 

[cucker tarlson]

correct with multipliers, vcore should be somewhere around 1.2v, cache 1.0 to 1.1v

Finally someone with a quick, precise answer. Thank you my dude, appreciated!

ask @rtwjunkie , I sold my 4790K more than a year ago, I might be a bit off. Plus mine was a crap clocker, could not even do 4.7GHz, I ran it 4.6GHz at 1.31v, after that it was like a wall.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Hmmmm,

1x44, 2x44, 3x43, 4x42,

I believe that is default for each core.

However, try 1.25v and set all cores to 44. It will take it easy. If that works you can try increasing your cores. Or you can leave it there and start reducing voltage.

The cache voltage is usually going to be set lower than core voltage. Default for cache of 40 is fine. You really don’t want to mess with it too much.

 

[cucker tarlson]

If he wants to find his vcore at stock, I suggets setting cores to 44-44-43-42, voltage to 1.2v and watch the VID reading.

 

[INSTG8R]

Mine sits at 1.27V @4.4

 

[rtwjunkie]

I must have a good chip. 4.4 at 1.18v.

 

[biffzinker]

My 4790K defaulted to core voltage of 1.153 and I don't remember the uncore/cache voltage.

Yes, i've other setting for my "OC". I was just interested in the stock numbers.
Mine runs 4.4 at your same voltage more or less (1.270 with my "auto" mobo setting lol), but it runs 4.2@1.070

I wouldn’t go with auto. See if you can lower it, a little at a time.

That my Auto but I’m under water and my temps are great so I just can’t be bothered fiddling with it 1.27 isn’t scary anyway.

Pretty high,it might be the board asking too much voltage, I bet you can take it down a little manually.

 

[biffzinker]

That's all I had to do for an all cores at Turbo.

 

[Lgn]

Yes, ofc i'm not using the Auto setting, i'm not that crazy I'm usually running 4.4@1,160
I said that just to point out how bad the default setting are for some mobos, i understand it's a "safety measure" against people who only change the core multiplier and call it a day but for everyone esle it's a mess for the temperature of your cpu.
Anyway thanks for the answers guys!

Considering my idle is sub 30 and never gets over 50 under load I’m really not bothered

Please link me a 30min prime95 under 50 load with a non delidded, close loop water cooled cpu, please.

He means gaming, probably at 90 fps max.

Stress testing your cpu in games, next level

He said under load, is your cpu NOT under load when gaming ?

Next level reading lol.

Been stability testing in games and other heavy software for 4 years, since I got 4790k and then 5775c, but you you can spend hours stress testing in torture tests, sure pal....I prefer knowing how much performance I gain in gaming and other tasks,unlike you.Stress testing in p95 and the like is the easiest way for the lazy with too much time.If I didn't know where and how much I gain, I'd run stock.

That would be 60 if you really want to get pedantic. I don’t waste time stress testing a stock CPU most stress it sees is Time Spy. Just ran it and it peaked at 54C. I’m long past my days of overclocking and wasting my time benching. I use for what I built it for, gaming.

Depends on the game, either 90 or 144.

No need to get salty or rude with each other folks. I suggest some of you review our forum guidelines so we don't have to make corrections. There's some good info and potential in this topic, let's not trash it with pointed comments, drama and BS, thanks!

@Lgn , you need to realize there's different load levels referred to here, and all of them are appropriate for their applications and description of CPU load, also there's a lot of OC and system building veterans here, a lot of experience and methods. Please be respectful of that or try to understand before scoffing. I tend to like to mix between OCCT and gaming for testing my system, OC's, stability, etc. Why? Because I built my PC primarily for gaming, so if it can do that OC'd without issues, I'm in a good spot.

If it gets hotter under OCCT load, but I never have another non-stress-test-based piece of software that loads the CPU in that way, is it worth hyper-focusing on? Not in my opinion. Someone using the CPU with AVX instructions for processing, conversion, etc. kinda tasks, they might want to pay a little more attention.

Most times with my OC'd 4790K on air, I rarely go beyond 55C in the heaviest of games I play, so I'd imagine on water that'd be closer to the mid 40's. OCCT can push into the mid 60's, and with AVX into the low 70's. Between good cooling and a cool basement, and a somewhat decent 4790K, that I also delidded, I'm pretty damn happy.

My default voltage was 1.16v, default cache iirc is min - 8X, max - 40x. Keep in mind some MB's lock cache at max multi. I personally notice no difference other than wattage load dropping a bit on my UPS (and in monitoring software). Wanting to have the balance of speed and efficiency, I do keep power saving enabled. The other voltage that is important with these CPU's is the CPU input voltage. Most default to 1.8-1.9V that I've seen, but many can run 1.7V and be in good shape. These CPU's have the internal voltage regulator that sends voltage to the cores so there's a correlation between what the input voltage is and how high you should push the core voltage.

I did take advantage of adaptive voltage as well. That way I can continue to run the stock undervolted settings I had been running, but be able to boost voltage for stability once turbo speeds are reached. Makes for a nice combination of cool running at low load, and stable at full speed. This has been a great build, even pushing 5+. As much as I wish I could afford to upgrade, I have little regrets sticking with what I have right now as well.

Most of the game i played the cpu is not even close to 40%/50% load. The only game i played in the last period who really tested my cpu is Battlefield V, 80%/90% load. Infact i had pretty much the same temps in XTU or AIDA64.

Cause you're GPU limited, 780 is somewhere between 1050Ti and 1060. If you have a 1080/V64 or faster then CPU testing in games is a good option to see the performance increase.Especially when you can record it with very little to no performance penalty and then compare the runs.
