Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

just an update,added in an extra 8gb of Samsung green so 16gb in total

max speed I can do no matter what imc/vtt/dram voltages I tweak or the timings is just 2000mhz,has to be a bios limitation so if any bios engineers see this I would appreciate you looking into it

my asus z68 v pro can run 16gb @2133mhz same ram/timings voltages

LOL... Vin, CPU is @1600 Mhz because is idling as INTEL EIST is active.

I know, but I saw a window to bust some chops so I took a stab at it. all in good fun.

I used a knife blade to delid a 3770K, I used the vice method to delid my 4770K. I like the vice method better.

Thanks a lot boondocks for the advice, as i said to Wazza i'm watching right now some videos of the delid method with the hairdryer and it seems very easy and i think i'll try it.

I used a craft knife to cut one corner,think I posted a pic earlier in the thread and then I used some thin plastic to cut around the rest

if I were to delid now though id be looking at the vice or hairdryer method's,they seem much easier

Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

yeah its the idle state 1.600ghz,4.8ghz full clocks

im using f11c mod3 bios but have to test over a few days as the beta's tend to lose your bios settings or stick and wont apply any changes,unlike the final bios's

I know that some beta BIOSes got these problems but i didn't have any issue with this release (F11c), in particular with the Virtualfred's modded versions.
I remember a disastrous F11b done by Gigabyte that corrected it in few hours with the F11c.

Let us know if this release improve your nice OC with some extra megahertz @ the same VCore or less VCore for the actual clock!

Cheers,

KK

P.S.: Wazza wich method you advice for the delid of the CPU? Thanks in advance for your kindness and the time that you'll deserve to me.

I wouldn't expect any degradation at 1.6Ghz either. if you did there is something wrong.

Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

thought id update this for anyone not sure on the longevity of coollaboratory liquid pro,as you can see below temps are still holding strong,no degradation at all

Thanks Wazza for this update...I'll delid my 3770K and probably use the CL Pro and see what will be my gain in temperatures.

I see that you're using the latest official BIOS from Gigabyte, why don't you try this latest beta modded by Virtualfred?!

With my HW (Z77X UP4-TH, Core i5 2550K, 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz C9) i've improved the OC...

Have a nice day.

P.S.: the "Marvell 88SE91xx SATA RAID 1.0.0.0027 to 1.0.1.0025" is a mistake of Virtualfred, it is only a typo or a copy/paste error, i'm sure because i've asked him.

Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

Yep, I don't think there is any problem with CLP degrading at least in the short term, I haven't seen any changes on either of my delidded cpu's.

Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

it does pay to use the latest software

got a nice boost in memory with latest aida64

old new

Re: Gigabyte z77x up4 th & z77x up5 th Overclock/Settings Guide

that is usually fine on stock 1.8v,over 4.5ghz you can set it to 1.65v as it might help you use less cpu voltage and remain stable

you should be able to do 4.5ghz and maybe 4.6ghz with a decent clocking cpu and good cooler,try to keep core temps below 80-85c and cpu load voltage under 1.4v ideally around 1.3-1.35v
