I have ocerclocked my i7-3960X on Asus RIVE to 4700MHz with VCore 1.6V. When I check AIDA64 it tells me the frequency is 4400MHz, 3DMark11 says the same. Any sugestions?

 

[ep45-ds3l]

1.6Vcore!?!? Umm, that is VERY high!

 

[Hatfieco]

Your vcore is too high. Even under water thats not a 24/7 safe voltage.

Ok, thats what the Auto OC suggested for high voltages. I have to run it on 1.52 for the CPU to be stable. Any ssugestions on other voltages I should fool around with?

 

[SverreMunthe]

And it's WC'ed. CPU, GPU's, MOSFET's and X79. Controlled by Aquaero 5 XT. The CPU package is jumping between 50C and 60C. The water out of the CPU is stable at 30C. Diff between out and in rads is about 2C.

Whoa. Try 1.3 or so first. Don't let the auto tuner do the OC'ing. My 3770k was running at 4.5 Ghz at 1.36V because of Auto tuner. Now, I run at 1.24 stable.

Just saying, don't trust auto tuner.

sounds to me like voltage throttling or current throttling one. not to familiar with intel but I know amd chips do that when its out of a safe range until you turn it off in bios.

 

[SverreMunthe]

It crashes with anything under 1.52 at Windows login.

 

[Minnetonka16]

I'm surprised there isn't already a hole in your CPU.

?

What are BIOS settings right now?

All settings? picture of AI Suite right now.

Why have you still not turned down your voltage? You're going to wake up to a liquid pool of silicon on the floor if you don't turn your computer off or change the voltage.

Because the temps are well within limits and stable. And I have the probe enabled, so if it gets too hot it will shut down.

I can stick a wire with 10 megawatts going through your skull and it wouldn't get above room temperature. Tell me how good it would feel though.

Haha.

Reset BIOS and see where it puts stock settings and try again. 1.6 is not safe at all.

Edit: When I say try again, I mean do gradual increases in voltage and multiplier. GRADUAL, don't brute force it

 

[Minnetonka16]

And for future reference, you're in water cooling territory at 1.4v. Dry ice and liquid nitrogen at 1.5v.

 

[SverreMunthe]

I'm at 4.6GHz 1.5V atm. Is there any good site I can check for OC'ing i7-3960X with Asus RIVE?

TURN DOWN YOUR VOLTAGE. I would not go over 1.45v 24/7.

What cooling are you useing?, also get rid of AI suite. Do all the OCing in the BIOS.

This ^^!

AI suite is buggy as hell! Recommend you completely uninstall AI Suite and do all overclocking through the bios!

Are you asking for help or are you trying to defend yourself over your own thread...?

It doesn't matter what temps you have for your processor, but that amount of voltage will degrade it so fast it'll probably die sooner or later. That's why everyone have been telling you to turn off your computer + quickly drop the voltage.

Also yes, OC in the BIOS, not the crappy AI Suite.
