Overclocking bring my hard drive rating down in windows

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

I overclocked my cpu just Little bit my 8350 and now after doing a windows assignment my ssd rating dropped from 7.9 to 7.4. I returned to original settings no overclock rerun the assessments and it still only gets a 7.4. Also before the overclock my operations per second was 7.8 now its 7.9 and it did not go back to 7.8 after going back to no overclock and re running the assessment

Sounds like ya SSD is more cluttered .... WEI is boinky anyway and shud not be used as a benchmark.

JackNaylorPE :

+1, don't use Windows Ratings as any kind of indicator of true performance

I overclocked my cpu just Little bit to 4600 with the voltage set to 1.43. Ran the prime95 for 10 passes for 10m passes all passes. but temp 1 was at 70. Using speedfan to minitor temps. now after doing a windows assignment my ssd rating dropped from 7.9 to 7.4. I returned to original settings no overclock rerun the assessments and it still only gets a 7.4. Also before the overclock my operations per second was 7.8 now its 7.9 and it did not go back to 7.8 after going back to no overclock and re running the assessment

Thats what i should have said

Also my ssd does only have 18gb of free space and i am not sure what it originally had at first test on windows when it got the 7.9

I also have my h100 set to medium cooling

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

The amount of free space on a SSD can effect its speed, ie the more you put on the slower is gets (different reasons than that of an HDD) so that could be what has decreased your SSDs rating because you don't have much free space left on it. However as stated before don't use Windows rating as a indicator of performance it is not very accurate at all, use benchmark applications if you want to do that sort of thing

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

And what about the temps? Whats the max temp i want it to be while running the prime95

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

Anything below 80*C is perfectly fine and won't harm your chip at all

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

Oh okay cool. Do you have any advise on how to do the prime tests and how do i know if i got a good clock?

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

i just played some rome total war and it uses all 8 cores so that makes me really really happy

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

Not 100% sure what you mean by 'good clock' it's really up to you as to how far you want to push your CPU, if you are happy with the performance it's giving you right now then there's really not any reason to overclock it any further, that's how I look at it

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

Okay how do I test it more to see if its stable. That was only the small off test for 10m

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

Okay with out raising the voltage from 1.440 I tried to clock it at 4.7 and it failed the prime95. So I bring it back down to 4.6 with same voltage passed the 10 passes on prime95 small ffs for 10m. Now I am running balance test or what ever on prime95 for the last 30m been doing good temp is at 68

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

Sounds good, the prime95 tests you're running at the moment generally find any issues with the overclock, sometimes you may find a issue when playing games even though prime95 was stable but that is fairly uncommon. Seems like you are on the right track, obviously if you want to increase your clock above 4.6ghz you're gonna have to up the voltage a little, your temps also sound good

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

The 4.6 clock failed 48m in to the prime95 test

I did the CPU benchmark for show gun 2 and I much better fps when over clocked vs not.

30 average vs 26

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

So do I need to raise the voltage just a little bit more?

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

Just try bump up the voltage a little bit and see if that helps, your CPU may not be getting enough juice to run properly

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

Oh okay. So when I do that
I do 4 hours of each test on prime95?

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

Do 1 hour of each, that's plenty and should find any problems generally. You can do more if you want to further check the stability but 1 hour is generally enough and if it is going to crash it will normally do so in the first 15mins (those are more major crashes)

LOA5000 · Sep 3, 2013

Okay thanks. I wonder if I should stick with 4.6 when I get it to work or should I try for like 4.8 4.9

DelightfulDucklings · Sep 3, 2013

I would say try make 4.6 fully stable before you move up to high clock rates

LOA5000 · Sep 5, 2013

I did a small bump up in voltage from 1.44 to 1.45 I ram prime95 for 40m and all of the sudden the pc frezzed while running prime. even the clock was frozen to 433 when it was really 452 in real life. What do i do?

Holding the power button solves it

That's always the last resort

Overclocking bring my hard drive rating down in windows
