Currently writing this while stability testing 4.7 ghz at 1.3v maxing temps around 63* C... Whats next? I know this chip can get 4.8 but I don't know the next step.. It fails if i push it to 4.8 at 1.305v rather instantly.. Please Help, 1st build/overclock

Yes, anything over 1.3v and you are risking your chip, especially with your power supply. You probably didn't do any damage by running your chip at 1.35v for a short period of time but I would not recommend that voltage for prolonged periods of time. If you manage to find a voltage not too far above 1.3v then I would say that is fine. It's not like 1.3v is a hard line and you'll be instantly punished for crossing it.

You can see that the highest overclock was recorded with 1.583v for 1 hour. Do note though that the cache frequency was turned down so it's not at all practical for realistic...

Up the frequency instead of the core clock.

Your values should be

Core clock 47
Frequency / Base Clock 103

This would equal a frequency of 4.841 GHz

Don't raise your voltage anymore. It's already at the max level before you run a high risk of ruining your chip.

It's not recommended to stay above 1.3v for prolonged periods of time. I've see voltages of up to 1.5v for testing but it would never be kept at that.

Also, what stress are you using? 10 minutes is a quick test to see if your processor can handle it. A longer test should be done if you are planning on using those settings long term. I've had a processor spit errors after the 10 minute mark plenty of times.

You should also list your power supply as well. A stress test doesn't indicate the load your system will actually go through in day to day use. When you play a game it introduces what is called transient load. That is, multiple components are being called on for resources thus causing a larger strain on the power supply. This is not something you will see in a stress test and can cause voltages to spike, especially on poor quality power supplies and large voltage overclocks.

The Corsair CX series is horrid. You should replace it.

Try using OCCT. Make sure to pay attention to the voltage readings during testing. It's possible that your poor quality power supply is causing voltage to jump around. A simply PSU replacement could mean a higher overclock.

Ok Just ran the stability test over night at 4.7 1.3v... Stable all night 9hr run under full load max temp 67* C.. I really wanna reach for 1.8... Is there anyway other than increasing voltage, again as soon as the blck went to 103 @ 4.7 it BSOD.. ORRRR Should i just start dialing back the voltage until i find the minimum it can remain stable and remain at 4.7?

Replacing your power supply alone could allow you to get to 4.8 Ghz. It might not even be giving your CPU the correct voltage due to it's low quality.

You've got to raise voltage somewhere if you want to get it stable at 4.8. There are other voltage values that have to do with the CPU like PLL and memory controller that might help but they rarely do much.

It could be that power saving options are hampering your overclock. Make sure that CPU spread spectrum is off, turn off C6 and C6 sleep states, and if your motherboard has a high quality voltage controller make sure it's set to filter the block. Other than this not much else you can do.

And anything over 1.3 is bad? I though these chips were good to go over 1.3? I had it running stable at 1.35v @ 4.8 but that's when I read your first post, freaked out and tuned it back down.. I did also jump from 1.3 @ 4.7 to 1.35 @ 4.8 so the actually stable voltage would probably be somewhere in that range.

They also have a chart for the average vCore for the top overclocking champions of 1.38v. This shows that you should only be going this high with the voltage if you are planning on breaking an OC record and don't care too much about frying the processor.

Thank you.. I found a stability at 4.7 and 1.285v So I'm gonna stick with that. Thank you for your help.. O and you know anything about OC memory head over to my new thread ;)
