Need VERY high Vcore for overclock

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

I recently had to change motherboards. I had to go from the UD3H to the UD5H. The reason isn't important. On my UD3H, I needed a voltage of about 1.325 to be completely stable at 4.5Ghz. Now on my UD5H, with the exact same settings, it takes me 1.430v!!! Something has got to be wrong. I even sent it back to the place I bought it from to check it out, and they say they need the same voltage to keep it stable, which is 1.430v. Did I really just get a bad motherboard or what?

My specs are all in my sig, so don't ask, just read.

Btw, you know how people are always saying "I got a good chip cause I can go to 4.8"? Well maybe it's more of the quality of motherboard and less of the quality of your chip.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated. I thought the UD5H would be better than the UD3H. now I'm wishing I would have either got another UD3H or order my UD5H from a different place as to get a different one.

Geez, you don't need to make 1000 threads about it.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

That's not me, the Tom's Hardware website is screwed up big time on my computer. I can't log out, it won't let me make a thread, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. I tried restarting, and my computers brand new so IDK what the deal is. It's been like this for a good week. I had to click "ask the community" 20 times for it to go through and what does it do? Posts my question 20 times.

can't delete them?

every overclock is different. all hardware is different.

cbrunnem · Apr 28, 2013

is that voltage what is being read by a program or what you set in bios?

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

That's what I set in the BIOS itself. It even takes 1.395v to get to 4.4Ghz. Thanks to my H100i, my temps are still only 85c at 1.430v

Yeah, everyone knows all hardware is different. But should better hardware perform way worse than cheaper hardware? I don't think so. And that's a rather cheap answer in the 1st place.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

How in the world do you delete a thread? I've looked all over the place and I can't find a DELETE tab. They should make this a helluva lot more obvious. Maybe this is just specific to my PC since it's all messed up in the 1st place.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

So does anyone know of anything I can try to get my Vcore lower while maintaining 4.5Ghz? Anyone?

For a little more info I have all power saving features disabled, I'm at a fixed clock w/Turbo Boost disabled, I run a fixed Vcore, my PLL is set to AUTO, and my other voltage(I forgot what it's called) is at 1.25(I upped it from 1.15 but no luck).

I'm hoping that there are some experienced overclockers on Tom's Hardware that can lend me a hand with this.

After 12 post you don't deserve any help...

cbrunnem · Apr 28, 2013

christop :

after he explained the problem you should realize it was a mistake and not be an idiot!

OP is this the 3570k in your sig?

christop · Apr 28, 2013

cbrunnem :

Name calling is not helping anyone. Grow up I was just kidding... I have had the site do the same thing to me on replies.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

Yes, it's the same 3570k that's in my sig. The exact build. Why would I need an entire 1/10th of a volt more to be stable on a motherboard that was a step up from my last one.

What could I, or the shop I sent it to, be doing wrong?

Is there anything I should look to change or adjust?

For those of you making those dumb fck posts, why don't you go do something with yourself, I'm trying to get some help here. So if you don't mind, go screw off in another thread. Damn.

Is it always this hard to get a meaningful answer on this site? I've heard everything from name calling to something about jack's jellybeans so far. I mean are people on Tom's really that useless?

I appreciate those of you who are actually trying to help though.

swifty_morgan · Apr 28, 2013

maybe it's about YOUR attitude. something we rarely see on this site.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

My attitude? What have I said but ask a freaking question? Dude, go somewhere's else. I don't want you help. Your probably not over the age limit of 13 anyways.

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

cbrunnen I appreciate you trying to help, if you have any advice I'm listening. Sorry these youngsters are so distracting sometimes.

If anyone else is reading this thread can you try to tune out the BS and try to think of anything I should tweak or adjust?

ericjohn004 · Apr 28, 2013

Should I manually set my PLL, do I need to adjust load line calibration?

I also have 2133mhz RAM. Could it be that causing instability's? Should I set it to 1600mhz?

These are all things I have thought of but haven't actually tried yet. Would any of these be a good idea.

christop · Apr 28, 2013

Hey man Try not to call people useless please..It is rude. You do know it is not the same motherboard. It might take more volts to get stable on the ud5h. All motherboards are not the same. Are you having high temps? Have you tried to work up to 4.5 an see when you need the extra volts. I am sure you didn't just set the new mother board to the same setting as your old one. If you did it doesn't work that way. Good luck to you.

christop · Apr 28, 2013

O man it came to me as I was picking up dinner tonight. Have you tried to lower your multi and increase your base clock. I had to do it that way to get stable with my I7 with 1.34 volts.

Knock off the insults , before further action is taken

Thank You.
