@Sylver:

Hello

Do you have the power saving option enabled in BIOS? If so, it may be the cause.

P.D.: Try to correct the spelling a bit, please. It is a forum rule.

Best regards

I did, I don't have any kind of power saving activated in bios, and in the power controls of the control panel I have it in performance which also doesn't save anything.

P.D.: thanks I will do it.

@emiliano.martin:

Many thanks, sorry for the capital letters (it's the first time I'm starting to take advice from a forum so that's why I'm new at this).
I managed to get a cheap one on the internet that has the same memory as mine and I'm going to buy it for him. If I can put 8 gb of ram in 4 of 2, does it make a difference in performance to 2000??? I mean, does it use dual channel???? now I'm going to make another topic because I reached oc my system to 4.7 and I wanted to ask other things.
thanks again.

Of course it works the dual channel, with 4 modules it does the same dual channel, maybe it's 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 that's according to the motherboard, if they are different modules then you have to put the same ones in the dual channel slots, if they are all the same modules then it's not necessary it just sets itself.

@Serefor: Si, me deja seleccionar el Vcore, me da valores desde 2.XXXX (Una exageración) hasta 0.XXXX, es decir mucho rango, me pone que el Vcore normal esta en 1.22, asi que fui seleccionando de ahí hacia arriba, pero no conseguí que arrancara nunca, algunas veces no pasaba el post, otras veces se quedaba en el logo de la placa y tenia que hacer un Clear CMOS, y otras veces llegaba hasta el GRUB, pero en el momento de seleccionar el S.O se reiniciaba o daba algún error, sera la placa que no le sienta muy bien que le toques los voltajes? xD tu problema es la placa, ese chipset no es bueno para ocear y menos un quad, por lo menos los duales subirían mejor, los quad no van bien ni en ese ni en el N680, con una P35 o P45 ese CPU debería subir bien fácil a 3400mhz incluso si es bueno el CPU podría hacer los 3600 sin demasiado voltaje. esa placa además de que no es muy buena en OC debe tener bastante vdroop y asi es mas difícil si no se mete un vcore alto, quizá mejore algo si se hace un mod de vdroop, aunque no se si en esa placa hay algún sitio donde se vea el mod, si ya las p35 de gigabyte tienen vdroop esa debe tener mas. Quiza te pille mejor el 333x9 serian 3200mhz, lo mismo lo hace con vcore auto aunque según el CPU. saludos

Leave it as default or lower the OC a bit and set it to 1.3 fixed with load-line activated, to see what effective voltage it gives.

With that motherboard and that micro you want to buy, you will surely also buy a decent heatsink, because once you have started saving, save first and foremost for a decent heatsink that is compatible with both sockets, and so while you are using the laptop, you can get your motherboard and do what Fassou says before taking it to a technician or buying something else.

Regards.

@Sylver:

Nothing man, it's very simple, you've already seen how it goes. You know the theory and apply it correctly. You keep increasing the frequency, you keep passing stress tests until it's not stable, that's the limit. If you increase the voltage minimally you can check if it goes up a little more, but it's very likely that temperatures will increase, and you may not achieve stability, that's normal.

In total, as long as it doesn't reach 70º degrees or pass it, it's fine. At that temperature under full load it has reached as far as it can go. It's so random that even 3 micros identical to yours can reach values with up to 1/4 of a difference between them, both in frequencies and temperatures. So you know, it's not an exact science in any of its aspects

Best regards!

Well many thanks Sylver, maybe next year I'll dare to raise it to 4.2 Ghz, but I don't know if it will be worth much the truth. From 4.0 to 4.2 Ghz I don't think the gain will be much, I speak from ignorance of course.

Best regards!

If you want something like the Seaosnic S12II 620W in pccomponentes or xtremmedia.

@Sylver:

Welcome and congratulations on the work.

I hope you continue to bring us more experiences like this with all the details.

Best regards.

Thanks! I will continue to share my results in as much detail as possible, perhaps including videos.;D

@krampak:

Welcome and congratulations on the excellent results

I have added you to our ranking of SuperPi (congratulations on the first position), although I would need a screenshot (or you tell me the data) of the memory speeds and timings.

Thanks for including me in the ranking, here I leave a full screenshot of the result.

@MaxLG:

Does anyone know what they are for?

What motherboard do you have?
If it allows OC through the bios, it's better to forget about that SetFSB, that was useful for benchmarking or motherboards that don't allow OC through the bios. Also, you need to have the version and microcode of your motherboard to be able to change anything.

I haven't touched it in a long time because I have motherboards that allow OC through the bios and I always configure it in the bios or UEFI, but those bars will only be one for increasing frequency and another for Pcie, I can't remember exactly, the one above is for increasing fsb, I think.

regards

Well, it's probably a Windows 8 error, because according to CPU-Z, the values are fine, 4.1ghz and 4.2ghz, while the Windows 8 CPU shows 5.16ghz xD thanks.
I almost got my hopes up haha well, since I'm here, is it possible to overclock it to 4.5ghz? because in a YouTube video, I saw a guy do it with the i7 2600 without K, but I don't know what you recommend?

Check the voltage down.

What you need to increase is the VCore, which Intel says you can do up to 1.5V, but if we're talking about not stressing the hardware too much, it's better to go below 1.4V and always keep an eye on the temperature.

Salu2!

The bad thing is that it came to me open and it can't be changed, in the cd it came with Gygabite OC Guru II, I have tried with this:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting
Is this okay? I know I can't get the most out of it, but for the games I use with it, boosting it a little more for the moment is enough, when I can I'll go changing the whole PC

Let's see, how much it can go up and with what voltages, what you asked at the beginning I already told you that it's visible to everyone by using a little bit of google (it took me less than 5 min to see many overclocks). The last thing you asked is very basic, you are here to read more, a little more, I'll give you an example: How are you going to know later what voltage is really being supplied to the micro? Where are you going to look? The vcore +/- thing is very simple, the normal voltage is added or subtracted by the + or - value you choose from a list that would come up, and that would be the result. That's how the specific voltage you want is defined manually and will be fixed, but it's a very elementary question, you are here to read a little more and have it a little clearer. And you also have to be clear about what it means to test stability with one voltage or another, as well as the temperature issue, it's 100% essential.

The HWmonitor does not always interpret the sensors well, and ends up putting what is not, especially in the first section of the board.

I have a supposed "sensor" that always marks between 97 and 113º C

Salu2!

Impossible no… I would say, improbable. A lot of effort to get just a few mhz. Besides, I have one of those beasts and with the stock frequency at idle it touches 70º with a custom cooler... There's not much you can do about it.

Regards

You open a post like that, you say that you have the micro at 4.2 in the other post as Franziskaner indicates to you and now you open this post saying that you have never done OC :facepalm:

Please clarify and we can help you.

I have used the ultra, they are first cousins, I found it somewhat complicated to spread it, you have to get the hang of the damn brush XD. Regarding temperatures, more than one will call me crazy, but I had the same as with artic silver 5 that I already had on. Therefore, seeing that the amount of paste is very scarce for its price, I do not recommend it.

Apart from that, I had problems with the water block, it fixed itself in such a way that it became part of the same block, I don't know if I can explain it, it got embedded in it, so that you could run your finger over it and it was totally flat.

In the end, I had to polish the block because there was no way to clean it :wall:.

PD: Recently I saw a comparison of thermal pastes and there were only two pastes that managed to improve artic silver 5 after its curing (200 h). And they were comparing I think 60 pastes, so it's not a joke.

It is also true that the mounting of the heatsink/block influences, in each mounting you will get a different temperature, that's why we must take our time to get the best possible one so that we don't have to keep testing continuously.

Best regards.

Mine still gives it its all, and yours because of laziness I didn't call intel but it's slow but it works, you hear.

The micro needs a minimum voltage, without which it won't start, and when you're close but still below the necessary voltage, what you'll notice are errors in the Stress Test when it's been running for a while at full load. The failures will be less the closer you are to the necessary voltage, and more serious, even restarting, when you're further away. Salu2!
