For me if it's not 24 hours for Prime 95 stable it's not stable.. I want to be able to use it like the CPU came stock at whatever speed I have it at. Install windows OC, Fold , game and do whatever and not worrie about it crashing. I'm at 9+ hours now on my 4.4ghz OC and counting. Playing WOW, Surffing the net and other stuff. at the same time just to put some extra stress on it.

I just tested prime95 for 24 hours. Completely stable.

Stopped prime. Started Intel Burn Test on High.

IBT crashed in less than 3 minutes. I'm not sure I trust prime with these modern processors.
 
3770K - Speedstep / HT etc. All Enabled

4.6 Ghz @ 1.29V - 65-77C (spikes)

Only thing that waiting for is what is my real voltage. I think its prob the 1.29 since I set 1.32 for VDROOP but core is reporting 1.25

Also Still working on it but 4.7 even at 1.35 will not work past login not sure I really wanna go any further then that. Any other advice?

^^ Run linpack under OCCT check 64 bit and use all logical cores, you can also try AVX too.
 
Ok gonna give that a run, cleaning the room right now so I will let it run.

I know its more benchmarking but are there settings or anything I need to check. I keep failing linpack about 5-10 min in. I keep uping the voltage @ 1.35 now

does it test something else or am I on the right path? All this machine is for is games will this be necessary? I want the most stable OC I can get so if this gives it to me that's fine.

I'm sorry for double posting, but would anyone recommed a good hsf for 3570k. I'm awaiting for asus maximus V and 16 gb sammy ram (4 * 4gb) sometime next week. I've used 212+ on my current rig (to sold soon). SHould I buy another 212+, 212 EVO, Noctua 14 or SA?

I'm hopping for 4.5Ghz o/c on it...

Thanks...

Linpack is harder on the chip no doubt, takes advantage of 64 bit libraries.

Just an FYI, you'll probably have clearance issues with any over-sized heat sinks with those ram sticks.
 
Running stable now

Ivy Bridge 3770K 4.5 GHz (103 BCLK, 44 Multiplier) 1.260v. (May try to push it lower later)

Yeah, I was nervous about the Frio fitting but it does. blocks one of the ram slots but I'm sticking with just two sticks so no problems.

Just about to get windows installing now.
 
So I am running OCCT LinPack so far no issues at 20 Min so far. It looks like it was a ram issue I was having since I was working on clocks for that.

However the issue I am having is I see 2 cores have dropped off but seems to still be going strong so not sure what the deal is. Ideas?

IBT ran 30 times under Heavy no issue.

My 3570k is made in Costa Rica as well. I am very happy with it. It is sitting at 4.7 with 1.225v and good temps. Good luck with your chip.
 
I have a 3770k, ASUS Z77-V Deluxe, and 16GB Samsung MV-3V4G3D/US here waiting for me to put together some time this next week when I get a chance. Will post results when I do.
 
45x100, DDR3@1600, volt 1.200, high side is coming in at 75c. Cooling is H80 fans on medium.

Running test now, then dropping voltage, I will post images after.
 
Feel like my H70 isn't cutting it with my 3750k - any thoughts?

Idles around 33
Loads at 72

Used my BIOS and got a 4.2 OC, only because its confusing learning about AMD oc and then switching to intel, i shall tweak this and OC higher once i learn later this week.

Lower voltage pll to 1.65v, cpu voltage to 1.17v, Lower ram voltage if possible. Your temps don't seem that hot for IB.

Thanks for the input - Can't lower the ram as they run at 1.65 on their XMP profile and will hang otherwise.

Trying 1.176v (as reported by CPU-Z) and I lowered the PLL to 1.65v. Also I have the Vtt set at 1.05v instead of auto.

1.2v seemed to be the most stable for me earlier when running IBT (on very high) as it locked up/rebooted with any less after a little while. I figured the H70 would keep it a bit cooler - perhaps my ambient is too high?

My idle right now is around 32-35. Will post after running IBT.

Edit:
Ran 10 runs of IBT (Standard) and temps high 77 on my warmest core. Additionally Firefox and windows gadgets kept crashing while it was running. Going to have to up the voltage I guess.

Rame Prime95 Small FTTs for 10 minutes and maxed at 69 on my warmest core. Will try this out for a while and run Prime95 longer tomorrow.

Also it is interesting as I used a multimeter on the mobo to see the voltages and Vcore was at 1.16 under load and now 1.15 at idle (even though set at 1.18 in bios and CPUZ reports it at 1.176)

Been pretty happy with my 3770K, coming from an i7 920 @ 4ghz. Not a massive upgrade, but a good one. Waiting for Haswell...

3770K @ 4.5ghz, 1.21v using Corsair H100. Other specs in sig.

Might be able to get the voltage a bit lower, but I'm satisfied so far.

Returned my Gigabyte UD5h. Felt like i might gotten a crappy board. Kept rebooting, crashing, raid not working properly (3770k was stock). Was gonna try another UD5H but microcenter didn't have them in stock. Went with MSI z77 GD65. Soo far so good. Gonna try OC soon and will report the results.

idle temps are 30C and loadtemps are 55-60C on stock. Using thermalright TS140. I think the zalman Z11 case might need another intake fan.
 
Here are my results with some questions at the end:

Intel 3770K
Zalman CNPS 10x Performa with arctic MX-4
Asrock Z77 extreme4
8GB Corsair Vengenace DDR1600

I can run 4.5 ghz with vcore auto and LLC set to level 4 (not sure % of droop that translates to). Prime95 temps reach max 68-72 on all cores after about an hour. Intel BurnTest gets a bit hotter, about mid 80s max load. CPU-Z reports no higher than 1.25-1.26 under load.

4.6 ghz is a completely different story. At this point auto vcore does nothing unless I set the LLC to level 1 (which is 100% I assume), but temps get crazy high at this point. IBT gets up to 94 almost immediately so I shut down the test after a few seconds.

Did some tinkering with manually setting vcore anywhere in the 1.20-1.30 range with LLC tweaking - it either crashes or is stable but at an unacceptable temp (>90 deg). I've since backed it down to the 4.5 ghz settings and am satisfied with that for now.

1). Why was 100mhz higher at 4.6ghz such a wall? Is it just my chip? My cooler certainly isn't the best in terms of air cooling, but it's no chump either and on reviews scores better than some of the more popular air options (212+ evo, etc).

2). Will hitting 90+ on my tests (even for just several seconds) damage the chip? I know the tmax is 105 and throttling will then kick in, but does that or throttling in itself cause damage to the chip?

3). Is auto vcore really that dangerous as some people have said? I know the system will try to overcompensate to maintain stability, but as long as vcore and temps stay reasonable, no damage should be done, right? I know I need to manually find the vcore but just for quick and dirty testing, it shouldn't cause any harm right?

I like that one. I have MSI Z68A GD65 G3 and it has been working out great for 3570k. Good luck with your new MB.
 
Expanding on my results in another thread, I never once experienced Prime95 or IBT crashing (newest versions downloaded today, both 64-bit, on a fresh install of Windows 7). All the issues I ever experienced were while trying to do something else in Windows while running Prime AND IBT at the same time. I just set these voltages manually in the Asus Windows tool. I had "internal PLL overvoltage" turned off for all the numbers below. Room ambient was about 21C with it being maybe closer to 24C by the end during the lower speed tests. I put in parenthesis what CPU-Z said was the voltage being delivered to the CPU was after I set the voltage number listed before the one in parenthesis.

Nice voltage. Do you have SP1 for Windows 7? IBT performance looks a little low.

Wow, thanks for the awesome compilation of your results! This was really helpful in choosing some intelligent starting points.

It definitely looks like you got a really nice draw out of the 3570Ks; my results are consistently substantially higher voltage and several more degrees at peak.

4.2GHz 1.130v -- Crash
4.2GHz 1.145v -- 69C Peak
4.3GHz 1.150v -- Crash
4.3GHz 1.160v -- Crash
4.3GHz 1.170v -- 75C Peak
4.4GHz 1.180v -- Crash
4.4GHz 1.200v -- Crash
4.4GHz 1.220v -- 80C Peak

This is with:
3570K (Costa Rica)
CoolerMaster TPC-812
ASRock Extreme6
2x4GB G.Skill [email protected]/1866
HAF 922

Haven't tried pushing any further than that yet. I might try tweaking my TIM application a bit, but I'm pretty happy with a fairly easy 4.4 coming from a 920 that terrified me trying to break a lesser 4.1.

Great summary - what level did you run IBT at and what setting for Prime95 (Small FTTs, etc)?

Eh, from what I've seen, if the posted results are truly stable from others around the internet, it appears to be somewhere in the middle. I'd hoped for slightly more, but don't we all. If anything, my voltage MAY need a small .005v bump after more long-term testing at the frequency I plan on running at (looking at 4.4-4.5).

joderme said:

Click to expand...

Initially Large FFT + a number of standard IBT runs to last the duration of the test to get a starting point, for 15 minutes. As I hit unstable limits for each frequency, Small FFT in Prime95/Very high ran 50 times in IBT. Nothing else tweaked. Yes, I didn't get much done yesterday as I was testing until 2AM this morning - 50 runs at 4GB takes forever to get through.

I also found that the WEI test appeared to show instability with a crash. but rarely crash the entire system. long before anything else. Still, I never received any bad numbers from Prime95 or IBT in ANY testing - it has always been something else crashing under Windows. I'm not sure what to think about the test apps no longer working for stability as they did back in the day. I may try the other apps recommended in this thread. I do know the RAM should be good at the tested settings as I had to return some sticks after a previous paid failed Memtest when they were used in my E350-based NAS. I'm waiting for some Samsung sticks to arrive.

Just got my 3770K up and running. Significant difference coming from an E6400. Plan to do some tweaking and run some tests later today.

Intel Core i7 3770K
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
16GB Kingston HyperX 1600
Enermax Liberty 500
Corsair A50 CPU Cooler (Should probably look to upgrade this)

How do my temps look for stock?

Thanks again - I noticed firefox and windows gadgets crashing but not IBT when doing very high. This is interesting as I found the same as you have.

Ran a quick burn test. Runs a little hot especially for stock speeds, but again, I think I should probably upgrade my A50. Here are my results:



My linepack output speed is almost half of what others' results show. Is this normal?
