After getting frustrated a while back trying to overclock my cpu I am feeling more determined now.
system specs:
According to this guide:
It says to put your memory at its default settings, set your multiplier to reach 4ghz, and start vcore at 1.070V. He points out that "most if not all cpus can run 4ghz at stock voltage" and this is echoed in just about everything else I have read. So this problem one. I definitely did not reach that with so little vcore and this makes me think either I am doing something totally wrong or my cpu is garbage tier. I am going to assume its the first possibility. I figured maybe this was because turbo was on so I turned that off, and it wasn't able to boot into windows at all until it reached 1.1vcore which displays in cpuid as 1.092 vcore. Anyway:
The first thing I did was look up my ram to see what it recommended:
and it says
10-11-10-30
1866MHz
1.50v
(the guides say don't use xmp,so I didn't)
Any thoughts on why It is needing so much more vcore than everyone elses? or is it because my memory settings are way off? Or is it something else? Also, should I be tuning this with turbo on or off?
