Hey Guys
ive been attempting to OC my i5 4690k the past few days
here is my progress
Equipment:
CPU- i5 4690K
MoBo- MSI Z97 Gaming 7
Cooler - Deepcool Lucifer v2
PSU- Seasonic M12ii 850W
GPU- MSI GTX 970
I followed the general instructions such as next boot, apply to all cores, ratio mode at dynamic , CPU Voltage Mode Adaptive etc..
Softwares used:
CPU Z
Real Temp
Stress Test- Aida 64 (v5.60.3700) with stress CPU , FPU and Cache
Ive been able to hit a 4.5Ghz
but im still running into problems taking it further
4690Ks are known to easily achieve 4.6Ghz if im not wrong
Here are my results:
PS: temps are of the single hottest core
Stress Test without OC: 30mins
Max Core Voltage- 1.064v
Temps- Min 28 Max 54
OC 4.2 Ghz
Core Ratio- 42@1.136v
Ring Ratio- 41@1.075v
Stress Test : 15mins
Temps- Min 30 Max 58
OC 4.3Ghz
Core Ratio- 43@1.176v
Ring Ratio- 42@1.115v
Stress Test: 20minutes
Temps- Min 31 Max 63
OC 4.4Ghz
Core Ratio- 44@1.216v
Ring Ratio- 43@1.155v
Stress Test:15 minutes
Temps- Min 31 Max 67
OC 4.5Ghz(attempted with default ring ratio to see if it can achieve 4.5)
Core Ratio-45@1.255v
Ring Ratio- 35@1.100v
Stress test- 30 minutes
Temps- Min30 Max 72
OC 4.5Ghz
Core Ratio- 45@1.288v
Ring Ratio- 41@1.100v
Stress Test: 10 mins
Temps- Min 29 Max 75
PS- in the last attempt the core voltage consumed went up to 1.288v as opposed to 1.255v when the ring ratio was increased to 41. why is that?
This did not happen the previous tests
does increasing ring also increase the core voltage consumption?
a question about ring ratio
how important is ring ratio?
how much of an effect does it have on gaming performance?
how much of a gap is ideal betwen core ratio and ring ratio?
and i know that anything under 1.3v is a safe core volatge
what is the limit for ring?
and how can i monitor it in desktop?
CPU-Z lets me monitor core volage but how do i know what the adaptive voltage mode is doing to my Ring Voltage?
I dint attempt 4.6Ghz because 4.5 was already consuming 1.288v and i dint want to exceed 1.3v
another thing ive noticed is that your silicon lottery is more important than your quality of cooling
what i mean by that is the say my CPU is consuming 1.288v for a 4.5Ghz OC and the temps are well within acceptable limits
and even if i had something like a NH-D15 or a good AIO liquid cooler my CPU would still consume the same voltage
please let me know if the above statement is incorrect
Can i do any tweaks to improve my OC i.e reduce reduce temps or voltages?
will i be able to achieve 4.6Ghz?
which of the above OCs settings should i run 24*7?
Im mainly OCing for Witcher 3
eariler without OC i was experiencing stuttering when CPU usage went up to 100%
at 4.4 GHZ the stuttering is gone but i can still notice frame rate drops
