I was testing one 3770k and two 3570ks to get a high super-pi score with sub-zero cooling (-20~-30C) The two 3570k are so bad that even at zero degree, they require ~1.4V to get 4.8GHz Cinebench stable (I run it at least three times),...

Quote:Originally Posted by mr. biggums That's curious I updated on mine, my clocks don't drop, maybe try disabling some of the c-states see if there the cause. I have all the C-states and Speedstep disabled . Clock should not change...

Hi guys, I just re-installed windows and flashed to the newest BIOS (p9x79 deluxe, bios ver. 3009). It's using a new bios structure using .CAP file instead of .ROM file now. I applied the same voltage and clock settings (1.4V, 4.6GHz)...

Thank you guys for your help. Just got overclock working, with 1.243V, I OCed to 1250/1725, quite satisfied! Rep for everyone! Here is 3dmark11 score: X3701

Thanks you guys for your input. You are indeed very helpful. So the conclusion is to get 1200MHz, I will need a voltage between 1.175-1.225V. I will experiment with those numbers. Another question is what is the Safe Voltage ? I am...

Excited I just got my XFX 7970, trying to OC it to 1200MHz/1600MHz using TriXXX. I up the VDDC to 1.2V and set the fan speed to 80% (good enough to keep temp below 70C), but have problem finishing 3dmark vantage test. My question is:...

According to design, 8pin PCI-E is rated at 150W and 6pin PCI-E at 75W. For maximum safety it is better not exceed these numbers. But in reality a good PSU PCI-E can easily run above the standard rating, for example 250W for 8pin and...
