Hi guys, I finally upgraded from my old 930 system and I am working on my Haswell overclock right now.
System is in signature. Cooling is a Black Ice Extreme 360 radiator with three 1800rpm Scythe Typhoons, an EK Supremacy Clean CSQ full nickel block, the chip is delidded and I am direct-die cooling with EK Naked Ivy Standoffs.
So far my chip seems pretty crappy. I haven't been able to get it reasonably stable at anything higher than 4.4, and to get it stable at 4.4 requires ~1.37v.
I am running 1.37v vcore, 1.2v cache, 44x multi, 40x uncore multi, DRAM is set to 2133MHz (lowering does not seem to help), system agent and digital / analog IO offsets are set to +0.20, CPU Power in is set to 1.95v.
With these voltages and cooling I am maxing out in Intel Burn Test at 79C (Intel Burn Test is set to Maximum Stress).
Anything else I can do to increase stability? These voltages seem high, but my temperatures seem pretty good for IBT at these voltages. Should I try to push them any higher? I know these chips run hot, it just seems that most good chips will do 4.5+ at <1.3v.
