I will see what happens, would love to get 5GHz or a bit better and hit some benchies hard, but if not the real purpose of my build is for a no holds bar prtable gaming rig. I was thinking 4.4 to 4.5 24/7 would be way awsome teamed with 2x 580's both on 16x bandwidth.

4.8 or so 24/7 should be cake for ya buddy!

Looking for 4.5 ghz 24/7 too teamed up with a 580. Wifey had me convinced into getting a 570 but went back with the 580 thought.

Disable EPU in the BIOS and make sure the switch is off. If you are still getting that 16-33x in CPUZ, then set EPU to high performance.


Either in BIOS or with EVO. Even disabled you can still control it with software :S

Also.. UEFI always remembers the last settings unless you CMOS reset. Stupid design flaw. so you can set High performance.. restart, disable EPU and it should stick.

CPU core offset voltage will let you pass 1.525 volts without erroring, but again offset remembers your last voltage settings.. so if you were auto volting or manual volting at 1.4v already.. adding offset adds to that 1.4v. NOT stock VID.

Stupid stupid.

I do not have time to test cputweaker for yah right now buddy, maybe I can get back home tomorrow.

I'll try that neuro - I blew out another OS this morning on a hdd.

580 is nice

4.5 Should be real easy to get. I set mine to 4.475 for a 24/7 OC.

I went in with deliberate max voltages though 1.0v SA, 1.2v IO and 1.3v Vcore.

RAM at 2000 ish 104BCLK * 1866 multiplier.

Nice! Great results too Neuro.

Another OS explosion...I can't believe I got rid of a 980X for this junk.

Btw, Jack Lalanne died today at the age of 96.

Yah know its funny, I was just thinking something similar... this SB stuff is based on the same shoddy arch that 980X was.

I mean great arch... but full of failure too for overclockers. How many died here? How many lost cores? I don't recall that on previous Intel chips and just never heard of it on AMD. I killed a Q6600 though and those were tanks

My first 920 ran 4.65 its entire life... second ran it and beyond and then became a desktop cruiser.. so hard to say if it was a tank... I could still pull 4.7Ghz when I needed to... so yes?

My first extreme OC boot on SB was 52X... first blue screen I got when pushing BCLK... 51X was new max multi...

(I only just realized it or I would have posted it sooner)

Every time I get up to 4.8GHz it seems everything gets unstable. Is there a setting that controls video somewhere like pci-e frequency? Somehow I think that is what is holding it up. Once over 4.7GHz during boot up the screen goes haywire...after that I can never get the OS to boot again.
