FFXIV ARR Benchmark Scores: Now with Character Creation

[Izzy]

1.5v is max for Ivy-bridge i would watch it, 1.4 is getting hot as fuuuu. I have my 3770k at 1.23v 4.6 and 1.33v at 4.988 - and i dont run the 5.0ghz profile unless i am benching for epeen lol.

I must have gotten a shitty processor, because I can't run [email protected].

[Izzy]

Also, I load my XMP profile for the ram perfectly fine (2133MHz), yet CPU-Z shows this:



Is that normal?

[Reality]

At post it's showing 3.5Ghz, with the clock speed of 3522MHz underneath it. My 930 used to show 2.8GHz, with a 4000MHz underneath it.

The chip is not delidded, it's running at 80C at [email protected].

I'm pretty disappointed if 1.35V only gets me 4.3GHz. Guessing there's nothing I can do about it?

80'C running what program? IBT/Prime95/OCCT? BIOS will only show 3422mhz for me (2600k) so there's nothing wrong w/ your system (which brand of motherboard do you have?). also, 4.3ghz is obscenely low for a 3770k, almost to the point of certainly being a parameter needing tweaked somewhere. have you checked your ram timings? have you tried disabling XMP, and manually setting your RAM timings and voltage?

[Reality]

It's also possible I'm fucking up the overclock and changing settings I shouldn't be. I changed the turbo frequency, as well as the base clock for the CPU. Should I only have changed the turbo frequency?

leave base clock at 100, that's one way to certainly fuck up your stability with sandy/ivy bridge

Also, I load my XMP profile for the ram perfectly fine (2133MHz), yet CPU-Z shows this:



Is that normal?

yeah that's normal, 1066.7 with double data rate (DDR) = 2133.

When I said I changed my base clocks, I used the wrong term, I left BCLK at 100. I was talking about something else. RAM timings should be OK. I'm using Prime95 and IBT to stress test.

I'm going to disable XMP and do the ram timings on my own. I'll screenshot everything I did and post back when I'm done so you can see what all of my settings are.

also you might consider remounting your heatsink with a new layer of thermal material

[Izzy]

I just did a BIOS reset. Then set RAM timings manually, then changed the CPU multiplier to 45, increased voltage to 1.3, then changed a couple other settings... couldn't even get into Windows before it bluescreens (0x124 probably vcore).

I just changed the multiplier down to 42 to get into Windows to post this. I took screenshots of the settings that failed. Are you seeing anything I'm fucking up somewhere?

Spoiler: show

[Reality]

Change multiplier to 43/43/43/43



Change settings here to:

CPU Voltage: OFFSET
+
auto



Change settings here to:

Enabled
Enabled
Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
Auto

Save/Restart.

Open whatever program you use to monitor voltage during Prime95, and post back what type of voltage your cpu is using

[Izzy]

Voltage sits at 1.4V, every once in a while it will drop to 1.392V then go back up to 1.4V. Temps are getting up around 87-89ish.

Holy balls 1.4V is high lol.

[Reality]

it could be a dud CPU but it might be your motherboard, almost impossible to discern which without testing other parts

[Izzy]

I left Prime95 running for a bit now at 10gigs of ram used. Voltage has dropped to 1.392V constantly with random drops down to 1.384V.

Temps have dropped to around 83C. I don't know if that means anything.

I'm pretty disappointed, but I suppose I can live with it at 4.2GHz. It's a pretty huge downer when I was able to run a [email protected] at 4.0GHz for like 2+ years straight. After hearing all of the awesome stuff people said about overclocking the 3770K, I was really looking forward to pushing it.

[Izzy]

I'm guessing it's the CPU. One of the cores is running 8C-10C hotter than the other ones for some reason. Unless I fucked up the heatsink somehow, that shouldn't be happening, especially with just one core.

[Izzy]

Just setup my new stuff. No overclocking at all yet has gotten me 2k more points. Time to start pushing this shit!

To get back on topic with the benchmark:



Overclocking the CPU from 3.5 to 4.2 basically did nothing! lol

[Reality]

I'm guessing it's the CPU. One of the cores is running 8C-10C hotter than the other ones for some reason. Unless I fucked up the heatsink somehow, that shouldn't be happening, especially with just one core.

that's normal, with my 2600k (which actually has the IHS soldered directly to the die), I have a core that sits about 6C hotter than the next highest core. ivy uses cheap ceramic thermal paste rather than permanent solder, so a 10C difference is to be expected. this is why people de-lid their ivy and haswell chips. if you ever decide to do it, don't do the razor method, there's a new vice method people are doing that's much safer

im positive you can overclock that cpu on your asus motherboard alot more very easily..... watch this video...



ive overclocked a 2700k and a 3930k to 4.7 watching J.J from asus....

these are my overclock settings for my 2700k to give you an idea what settings MIGHT look like.... I know the 3770 is a bit different but same socket...

(first thought is... you are using WAY TOO MUCH Voltage for 3770K)

At the moment I have it overclocked to 4.7 GHZ:

AI Overclock Tuner: Manual
BLCK Freq: 100.00
Turbo Ratio: Enabled (All Cores)
By All Cores: 47
Internal PLL OverVoltage: Enabled
Mem Freq: 2133 MHZ @ 9-11-10-27-2
EPU Power Saving: Disabled
Load-Line Calibration: Ultra High
VRM Freq: Manual Set to 350
Phase Control: Extreme
Duty Control: Extreme
CPU Current Capability: 100
CPU OverVoltage: Manual
CPU Voltage: 1.37v
DRAM Voltage: 1.5v
VCCSA Voltage: AUTO
VCCIO Voltage: AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage: AUTO
PCH Voltage: Auto
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Ratio: Auto
Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor: Enabled
Intel Virtualization: Disabled
Intel SpeedStep: Enabled

Sorry to keep this thread off the Bencmark topic but i just recently began O.C my CPU for the first time. Its an i7-2600K and currently have it running at 4.5Ghz with the voltage set to 1.375. Prime95 got the CPU up to 82C maximum. At idle it sits between 37c-44c.

Im using this CPU cooler - Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

During load on the Benchmark at maximum it only got to 70c at peak.

Should i be concerned about any of my Voltage or Temp settings? I got the thing to 4.8Ghz with a 1.415V setting. Ran windows fine and the benchmark etc. During Prime95 the peak Temp was getting to 91c/92c so i took the 4.8Ghz overclock off. Just new to all this overclocking want to make sure im not ruining my CPU in the long term!

Also this is the thread i used for my Overclock (Asus P67 Sabertooth + i7-2600K) -

Might be helpful for you Izzy!

Spoiler: show

This here might be your problem, LLC is set on auto and most likely causing your MB to drop your voltage quite a bit when it's under load thus making the system unstable, I usually put it at the second highest (Ultra High) setting, which makes it to barely move when under load, Highest setting (Extreme) increases the voltage a bit when the CPU is stressed and lower settings than Ultra High makes the MB to drop vCore more the lower you go.

[Izzy]

I'll try some of that stuff out when I get home. Thanks guys!
