Hi guys,
I recently got myself a i5 3570K for my new rig. Apparently I got myself a good chip, since I was able to reach 4.5Ghz @ 1.12v (stable after 13 hours of Prime). I'm not too experienced with overclocking, but i learn fast. I later managed to reach 4.7, 4.8 and then 4.9Ghz @ 1.35v (max temp 84c). I'm currently trying to reach a stable 5Ghz. I can boot up and navigate around desktop fine, but as soon as I run prime or IBT, the program will 'not respond'.
I was hoping for some tips on achieving stability without increasing VCore too much more.
Currently, 5Ghz @ 1.38v
50 x 100
Spread Spectrum - Disabled
SpeedStep - Disabled
Turbo boost - Enabled
Additional Turbo Voltage - Enabled
PLL overvoltage - Enabled
Power Saving Mode - Disabled
Offset + 0.285
LLC - Level 5 (highest)
VTT - 1.085v
PLL - 1.824v
Here's my 5Ghz CPU-Z validation, http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2448503
My setup,
CPU: i5 3570K
Cooler: NZXT Havik 140
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
RAM: Corsair Vengence LP 8GB 1600mhz
GPU: 1G Gigabyte GTX460
PSU: Antec HCG-620 M
Case: Antec Three Hundered Two (Modded, currently with only 1 top mounted case fan)
I haven't really changed VTT, PLL or any of the C States. I'm thinking of disabling C3 and C6, will this improve stability?
5Ghz seems soo close. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! =O
