5820k Asus x99-a Gskill ripjaws 2400 Cooler master seidon 120v plus Hi all,my specs as above. I would just like to check, on load my processor auto clocks at 4.125ghz and I don't even remember doing any over clocking settings. I do remember flicking a small switch at the bottom of the mobo but apart from that I didn't set any over clocking. My question is if its normal and considered a slight oc only. I'm in a hot and humid country and my cooler, again is entry level.are there temps and volts I should note? I don't really have time to "play" with my system as I'm very busy with work and family commitments so I just want a very stable setup as much as possible.I understand the new processors have some boost technology but I reckon going from 3.3 stock to 4.125 sounds big?I've no idea as I'm coming from an old setup i7 950 where I didn't have uefi bios and these boost technology when I was still versed in over clocking Thanks And can you guys recommend me any system monitoring software?
That was probably the TPU switch which is basically an auto overclock of your turbo boost.As long as heat isn't an issue which you can check with Real Temp or others like it it shouldn't be a problem.You can always switch it back.
Yep I read the manual and set the following enabled You cpu bclk and ratio boost Epu enabled Ez xmp enabled Is this recommended? Any temp and voltage I should be wary of?
I would say 75C+, ideal bellow 70C.. Voltage, try to stay bellow 1.30v for cooler temps. You can test quick X264 FHD benchmark to see what's going on & monitor with RealTempTI http://downloads.guru3d.com/x264-FHD-Benchmark-v1.0.1-64bit-download-2825.html Btw X264 fhd will lag everything, its running in realtime. That switch has 2 steeps, 1 only ratio, 2nd ratio and blck; Ez XMP is enable XMP in easy mode - main UEFI menu.
Carefully with Asus X99 & 5820K. There some trouble if you activated Asus Socket OC. some links: 5960X dead =( http://www.legitreviews.com/intel-x99-motherboard-goes-up-in-smoke-for-reasons-unknown_150008#4jqqGq0y1tStF1lO.99
Ive read that and its nothing new here, common knowledge to the hardcore overclockers. Like ive said for the 20th time on here, not cooling the mosfets or vrms while overclocking will destroy or seriously degrade your hardware over a short amount of time. Just because you have a big Oc on your cpu and your temps are ok does not mean that the Vrm's are ok temp wise. Power delivery to the cpu comes from the mosfets yet 90% of people disregard them or don't actually understand how it works hence the oc failure and potential damage in some cases. Ive been harping on about this for around 5 years now.
Dialled back the switches to the following TPU switch set to "enabled" ratio EPU switch set to "enabled" EZ XMP Switch set to enabled I ran the Intel Extreme Tuning utility 5 min stress test benchmark and got a maximum reading of 78c. Im starting on a room temp of about 28c so my idle temps are at 35c Or do I "disable" the switches?
On a side note, why does my system always have to go to UEFI during boot? For some reason, only my hard drive is detected as boot device so I need to go to boot menu and manually select my SSD to boot to windows
^ You will have to change priority by boot menu (bellow is a list) in advanced uefi mode. Those temps are somewhat ok, is that at 4.2ghz? Idle should be a little lower, do you use balanced plan while in idle? If you enable c-states (default auto - disabled) and dynamic storage accelerator in uefi and in intel RST control panel., it will control it according to windows power plan (balanced C3, high perf. C0) and run even "cooler".
Ok I'll try when I get back home 78c at 4ghz Out of curiosity, I disabled all switches and ran the test..none of the cores hit 60c For some reason my boot devices can only see 1 drive at a time .then my main ssd does not show.. I switched sata plugs around, even my steam ssd showed up lol .I guess I need to do more testing for this boot cos anyway my hdd is for storage only
