Just recieved the 6700k I ordered to replace my 4790k - my old mobo fried itself so I just upgraded chipset.
The stock voltages for the 6700k was high, 4.2 ghz at 1.328v. I've managed to get a stable clock of 4.4ghz at 1.152v which really surprised me. Is my chip above average? I can't attempt high overclocks as I'm using a fairly poor cooler.
Post clocks.
>a stable clock of 4.4ghz at 1.152v
I doubt that's very stable besides desktop use.
Try H264 encoding or some CPU rendering.
4.5-4.7GHz is usually possible with 1.25-1.3v
Also any idea why it isn't possible to download the vcore/clocks on a manual setting? It did so with my old Gigabyte Z87 motherboard, it doesn't with an Asus Z170.
I ran the Aida64 stability benchmark and the CPU stress benchmark on CPU-Z.
neither of those are actual stress tests.
Intel burn test, Prime95, etc. Those are stress tests.
*downclock
thanks user, will test
[email protected] / Stable 1.290V
Using Z170-A, manual vcore changes work fine here
I ran 3 passes but stopped after. I've set it to 1.15v in the bios
I'm using a Z170 VII Hero and it stays constant at max clock. Unsure what to do senpai
oh wait it downclocks if I put it on power saver
if you mean that through CPU-Z the vcore isn't changing, I noticed something similar. Mine's set in BIOS to 1.290V but sits at 1.280V when I check.
My clock speed wasn't changing either, I just changed my windows power setting to 'power saver' and it downclocks itself when idle
Hey, does anyone here use Linux? I need a program to test my CPU frequency.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
>Just recieved the 6700k I ordered to replace my 4790k
How does it feel knowing you spent twice as much as me on a CPU with half the performance?
Lol most people declare something IBT stable if it lasts 24 hours. Some people even do 48hours.
Please elaborate.
Oh, thanks

Man what's up with you dissing his i7k ? Fucking poorfag much? Can your shit hyperthread? Fuck off.

yes.. i7s are literally gimped xeons. Enjoy your consumer-tier binning, no ECC support, etc.
i7s are marketed for people too poor to afford xeons. They're in a higher price class.
It's still pretty good considering 95% of Sup Forums only uses their rig to play 18+ moded Skyrim
>shit single threaded performance
no thanks.
>posting non-overclocking CPU
>CPU with laughable single core clocks
Literally a waste outside of the 0.1% of programs that can make use of more than 8 cores, even including many professional ones.
There is a limit to how much clock speed you should sacrifice for more cores.
>single-core performance
admit it, you just need it for shitty video games you cancerous
You need to test that shit for at least an hour, but for true stability do as
says.
i7's are higher clocked though
>Enjoy your consumer-tier binning
Who cares about binning on a voltage-locked CPU? Do you even know what you're talking about?
>ECC
because everyone on Sup Forums runs their systems 24/7 with 128GB of RAM and cannot possibly allow their systems to suffer a crash or data corruption
should be careful with prime95 on intel cpus, avx instructions make the chips go up to insane thermals like 90c+
>because everyone on Sup Forums runs their systems 24/7 with 128GB of RAM and cannot possibly allow their systems to suffer a crash or data corruption
If you don't, you're a fucking casual and don't belong on Sup Forums
ES Xeons are literally cheaper on ebay. You can put together a 14 core (with a shitty clock speed, 2.2 w/ turbo to 3.2 IIRC) x99 build for the price you'd pay for a Z170 + 6700K.
you totally rekt him m9
>using a personal computer for anything other than video games and personal enjoyment in the
Literally end yourself. I have a Haswell Xeon running on my server AT WORK as well as an Ivy Bridge hexacore that I have to fire up for a few hours once every other day for CAD-CAM applications AT WORK. If you own a Xeon for multithreaded usage at home you are permavirgin status.
They are literally diffrent products for diffrent market areas. There is nothing gimped about them.
You seem to mis-understand. It's fine to have up to 8 cores because it's been tested to be the apex of the frequency/core curve for most high-end programs like Adobe Premiere and such, which is still a lot for a typical PC.
Unless you're running a server, doing 3D rendering, or After Effects, there is no point in having more than that in this current day and age. And even then, for rendering, GPUs are starting to take over as CUDA processing is vastly more efficient, on the order of 6x compared to a dual-CPU system.
They are literally the same silicon with features disabled (ECC, remote management shit, etc)
Hey man I have a question for you, if you have kik message me at iranherover
How the fuck did you fry your motherboard
>Xeon
>For multithreaded usage
More like for everything usage. cant think of many single threaded applications that would actually be bottlenecked by a xeon. Especially something like a 2670.
Xeons have a locked multiplier / base clock though. Not everything is solvable by running a gillion cores.
>high-end programs like Adobe Premiere and such
lol, I don't care about adobe's incompetent piece of shit software
show some x264 bench scores
Haswell CPUs in particular don't like AVX. It's an irrelevant option for stress testing anyway, there is nothing that will ever push your system that hard.
Not always, Xeons have specialty chips that have no real equivalent in the consumer segment, like quad-core 2011-3 socket CPUs. The 16xx series is often the one closest to the actual consumer chips, for instance the 1660 v3 is the exact same thing as the 5960x but with ECC, VT-d, etc.
>Xeons have a locked multiplier / base clock though. Not everything is solvable by running a gillion cores.
It's artificial lock though. They could be offering the whole package but they intentionally separate the markets.
Easy Test : 20 run @ very high with IBT
Hard Test : 12h Prime95 @ blend
Anything below that wont be taken seriously
>It's artificial lock though. They could be offering the whole package but they intentionally separate the markets.
Yes. The same way the ECC and neat features are locked away on Consumer parts.
Unfortunately Intel is the devil and unless someone provides a bunch of microcode updates to unlock fucking everything it doesnt matter whether the locks are artifical or not if they cant be bypassed.
They are exactilly not the same silicon. You really think you have any idea what you are talking about?
Just dropping by to say LGA1151 CPUs look fucking sexy
How's that work since they have the same core count, architecture and features?
The only thing differentiating them is how they are binned and what microcode is on the chip.
I'm running a 4790K @ 4.7, 1.303V and I'm quite happy with it, 2400MHz RAM too. I don't really do anything stressful (CPU or GPU) on my desktop other than playing games (at 4K) and I'm quite happy with the CPU.
I don't plan on upgrading until I can get something with 6+ cores that can beat it in single-threaded performance too.
I can run my 5820k at 4.7GHz with 1.34v which should beat or at least match your 4790k in single core.
new user here, testing rn, have only done standard so I decided to push a little harder. waiting for a new gpu so I just have stability testing to do
IBT is borderline useless on Haswell (and maybe anything newer too, I don't know). I had a stable OC in IBT that never crashed or failed no matter after how many runs I tried, but then fucked up in under 10 minutes every single time I started up BF4. I assume this is due to the voltage fuckery Haswell does with AVX. The CPU runs at a higher voltage during the super stress test and doesn't crash, but then under normal load and lower (actually normal) voltage it crashes.
Eh, sure, but X99 is pretty old now and going out the door, yet it's still expensive and there's no guarantee I'll get a 5820K that would hit 4.7. It also doesn't come with enough lanes for x16/x16, which apparently can matter in some cases (like DOOM). I'd rather wait to see what else comes out, maybe Zen is going to live up to the hype, or at least force Intel to lower prices on their enthusiast line.
Quit being a whiny faggot and run cpumark and post results then
>Eh, sure, but X99 is pretty old now and going out the door
doesn't even really matter because the performance increase between each intel cpu generation since sandy vagina is so fucking minimal unless you actually need the extra processing power for something that isn't games
looks stable to me
>the performance increase between each intel cpu generation since sandy vagina is so fucking minimal
Exactly, so why even bother upgrading Haswell->Haswell when I can very well wait a bit more for some more shit to come out and get a few generations of improvements at once, along with a chipset supporting all the modern shit?
Probably off-topic... Is RAMDISK a good idea? Games and programs don't seem to be faster even though the read/write speed is supposedly 25x faster.
>buying a 6700k when Kaby Lake is comign in just a few months
Depends on CPU. My Haswell CPU runs just normally with Prime95.
Good for productivity not necessarily games (they tend to saturate memory bandwidth)
I recommend ramdisk plus from superspeed, the dataram and softperfect offerings are buggy and have horrendous interfaces
Is there a decent overclocking micro ATX board?
By "decent overlocking" I mean 8 or 10 power phases and a discrete voltage controller.
Fuckin EVGA and MSI sell z170 boards with 4 phazes. Have they no shame?
OCCT: CPU for 2 hours is better than running any stress test for a week.
If you are truly confident about your overclock (caring about actual stability and not just online dick waving) then run occt for at least an hour. if your system is unstable it will show within the first 30 minutes.
It sounds like bullshit but it really works.
4790k @ 4.977MHz / Stable 1.335V
4770k @ stock clocks because after being in the pro overclocking scene for a bit, I quit
do you know der8auer ?
I overclocked the q6600 of my browsing PC (not main machine) from 2.4ghz to 3.15ghz @ 1.3 volts. I ran 10 passes of intel burn in test on maximum on it and it didn't crash so it's stable.
Could someone please explain how to properly determine the fsb termination and mch voltage? I increased both of those gradually as I increased the CPU's and the RAM's clock speed.
Not him, but fuck that faggot. Sells shitty 3d printed delidding and lapping tools for €60.
He is just a smart jew. OC fags who are too pussy to delid stuff the classic way get jewed hard. I see no wrong.
>OCCT: CPU
Is that another AVX test or something else?
You can't really delid them the classic way anymore, because the jews at Intel made the PCB as thin as possible, so they crack under pressure and the newer batches come sealed as tight as possible, so you have a good chance of damaging the pcb with a blade.
There are free 3d printer templates for the tools, similar to the ones he sells. I just don't have a 3d printer. I would buy a tool for €15, but €60 is just another level of kikery.
>implying kaby is worth waiting for
>about to upgrade to a 2600k for only 110 euro

I want to overclock my i5-6600k to 4.0GHz and I have a hyper 212 evo with a noctua nf-f12. Can I do it? and what would be a good voltage?
...
Far from stable. You should be able to run IBT(linpack) for hours and preferably for 24h for absolute stability. Try running Prime95 but watch out for temps.
Make sure to get a decent z77 motherboard while you're at it
am I the only person that just does 10mins blend, 10mins small fft, then uses my PC as normal until it crashes?
excluding reboots for updates, I've got like 2 months uptime now
I do that too, especially since I got Haswell because stability in stress tests doesn't actually guarantee stability in real applications, which is to say games in my case. As such I only use stress test tools to weed out highly unstable settings.
idk about haswell but for sandy there are some "sandy-killer" FFT sizes that will crash a lot of 'stable' setups
How do i overclock safely?
I've been running my 4690k stock because i'm afraid that i will fry it with too much voltage. Can i just up the multiplier without touching the voltage?
Increasing the multiplier will increase the voltage if it's set to auto.
What you could do is check the current voltage it's at under load, then use voltage offset to keep it under that while you're overclocking.
1. increase multiplier by 100-200MHz
2. check how much voltage goes up by in cpu-z (while it's under load)
3. set a negative voltage offset to counteract that
4. check it worked
5. repeat steps 1 through 4 until your system is nolonger stable, then back off to the last stable stage.
Also if you're using negative offset, make sure your system is actually stable at idle, as it might turn out you're undervolting too much.
If your mobo doesn't have offset voltage control, you got fucked because it's by far the best way to overclock for normal people.
Anyone here got a Skylake non k CPU and overclocked via baseclock?
>Depends on CPU. My Haswell CPU runs just normally with Prime95.
Really now? In every other benchmark like Linpack my CPU stays below 80c, mostly at 70c after OC, but in Prime95 temps can spike up to 100c which is just damn scary.
No but I have an S processor which for some reason has an unlocked multiplier.
Did you mean to quote someone?
I managed to fry my motherboard while overclocking. It was a Z87 """""""""""""""""""""ultra durable""""""""""""""""""""" Gigabyte mobo. Sure, it wasn't a board designed for heavy overclocking which what I did on it. I think it fried while running linpack with 1.46v core and 5.1 GHz on a i7 4970K. That drew north of 200w from the CPU socket. Once it crashed and I rebooted with normal clocks, USB started to malfunction, devices reconnecting themselves, dGPU would sometimes disappear for a second or two until the drivers recovered, DPC latency was in milliseconds(even spiked up to 10ms+) and any kind of real time multimedia usage was impossible due to this.
Asus Maximus VIII Gene? It has 10-phase power design with discrete digital voltage control.
Running i7 4970k with 1.30Vcore, 1.900V input and 4,90 GHz. I bought it as a binned for 4.8 GHz but seems to be fully stable at these settings on 100MHz higher clock. Delid with Liquid Pro on top and under the IHS with my AIO H110 water cooler keeps the temperatures in check.
Sandy doesn't do integrated VRM voltage fuckery for AVX like Haswell, so I wouldn't expect AVX-based tests to be as useless. IBT was great for my Q6600 and i5 750.
I have an ancient i3 330UM @1.20Ghz, I read somewhere it could be OCd to 1.60Ghz, but I haven't really found how. Anyone got some idea?
might be a dumb question but ill ask anyways. i have my i5 overclocked to 4.4ghz running at max clock with all power saving settings turned off, does the actual cpu usage % make a difference as to how much power it's actually using?
>does the actual cpu usage % make a difference as to how much power it's actually using?
Yes.
