Overclocking a computer with i74770k
-
Hello everyone! I've been using this PC with Windows 7 Ultimate for a few months now, and the truth is that sometimes it does strange things and it gets on my nerves... Because I spent a lot of money on it.
When it shuts down, it's like the computer is so fast that some programs that are on have trouble closing and I always get the "End programs" or something like that window, making the shutdown process slower.
Then, my damn keyboard, sometimes the mouse isn't recognized when the computer starts up, I unplug and plug it in and nothing, I have to restart, can the USBs on this motherboard specifically cause problems?
Can someone tell me if it would be advisable to tweak the BIOS? For now it's just as it came from the factory.
Basically I use it for music creation and video editing (yes, with Premiere, editing things takes forever because I don't have a graphics card). Can anyone help me? with setting it up? I've read things about how the hard drives should be, raid... things like that.. haha! thanks!
The components:
Cooler Master Hyper 412S CPU Cooler
Corsair Value Select DDR3 1600 PC-12800 8GB CL9
Fractal Define R4 Black Pearl
Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 81.82 1
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5Ghz Box 230.43
Logitech Wireless Combo MK520 33.02
Samsung 840 Pro SSD Series 128GB SATA3 Basic Kit
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 7200rpm -
You should have bought a better cooler or a 4770 outright.
Although it works with the integrated one, Premiere runs well with any i7. A dedicated one speeds up certain processes, but the CPU is what matters most. If it's a simple edit, it's not worth spending on a graphics card to speed it up. See if you can give more memory to the integrated one and disable C1E. Check the voltage down and run a stress test, if you see that it doesn't exceed 70º give the processor some multiplier points. I think you can also overclock the integrated one, I suppose the reference temperature will be that of the CPU, I don't know if it has a separate sensor.
If you go for OC, run OCCT on it for example, which also measures the temperature and voltage. To make sure it's stable, leave it on all night, if it doesn't crash and doesn't exceed 70º it's OK.

It sounds 100% like a Windows problem to me, it's easy to check, if the keyboard works in BIOS and not in white and bottle windows. And if not, you'll have to try with another keyboard and if it keeps doing it, process the warranty of the motherboard.Sent from my iPad with Tapatalk

For simple video editing, I agree with Obione that a dedicated one is not indispensable and the power of the micro and the amount of RAM (the less we use the swap file, the better).
The thing with the keyboard and mouse, man, I've had a similar problem but it was when I came back from sleep, not at startup, and I solved it by tweaking the power profile.
For the shutdown, it would be good to know what programs are running at that moment. -
Hey! that the mail had not notified me of these messages! Let's see all this that you tell me Obione is done from the BIOS? no? And also, I don't make home videos, I put in professional plugins to give more cinematic quality bla bla, they are all videos from 700 to 2 gigas in hd it's almost always 1080 or sometimes in 2.7k. They are videos from the Gopro Hero3+ Black. The thing with the keyboard now on the face works well for me since a week ago, it was commenting here and the keyboard and mouse got along... I said the thing about the video but 80% I dedicate myself to Audio production. I have read things about the hard drives that sometimes you have to touch up things since I have an SSD and a mechanical one or whatever you call the HDD of all life we are going. When I installed Windows7 Ultimate I did nothing, I formatted bla bla bla, the SSD has all the software installed and in the hdd: music, libraries, videos bla bla... Merci! -
Is it about Intel Rapid Start Technology? because if so I already had it deactivated! -
Well I have already found it now it is deactivated. The thing about intel rapid bla bla what do I do deactivated or activated? merci

Rapid Storage to your liking, as long as you have AHCI in BIOS it's already good.
If you have the money to invest, get a graphics card, but if you don't use video much, I would save it.

I'm freaking out about the temperature, it says it's at systema 30 and cpu 23 approx! I already told you that the quality of the gopro is very heavy, and with other videos it's not so much but when I try to edit in HD for HD it looks choppy and I won't even mention the hours it takes to render or export, to push the integrated graphics the voltage issue and this what do I do? meric!

Go to the overclock section of the BIOS.
The temperature that matters is that of the micro while rendering, it should not exceed 70º.

Check that it's not a software environment issue. The "glitches" if it's from an external device, it can happen if it doesn't have enough transfer speed, but if it's a file stored on the hard drive, it shouldn't happen.
Set the swap file to 12 GB fixed size (min and max) on a partition of the SSD. If you're thinking of getting hardware, before the graphics I would add more RAM.
Those system and CPU temperatures are not even worth mentioning ;D, as Obione points out, check them when it's under full load.
And be careful where we put the Gopro. -
At 23 ni loco you can have the micro. It will never be below room temperature. It will be about 15º above average.
The USBs are normal in the gigabyte. Mine does it when it feels like it, but it only gets fixed when I unplug the power cable from the power supply.
The performance thing is complicated to know what it is. On the ud3h with the latest driver of the intel network it connects and disconnects when it wants. You can check if any of that gives you problems.Regards

I don't understand the temperature thing very well. The numbers I got were from the gigabyte program, which I've already checked and is not reliable. I touched a little bit of over (very little) from the official gigabyte software and bam, terrible blue screens of death of windows. I uninstalled the software and it continued, luckily I turned off the pc, took out the battery and then everything was fixed. For video, I have the SSD where I only put the video to edit, and in the hdd the preview folders, as it says on the official Adobe page.
As for ram, I have 8 gigabytes. I don't need more, I don't know, but I'm almost 100% sure that I need to get a graphics card. It's normal for me to have something like this with just the integrated internal graphics (it's a piece of crap). When I put videos depending on which ones on youtube at 2.7k or 4k, it already acts silly, and in computer videos depending on which one, you can perceive a little bit of bad quality.

One thing is bad quality and another thing is that the reproduction is not as smooth as it should be. Bad quality depends on the type of file encoding and the player settings, lack of smoothness ranges from an insufficient transfer rate to a bad playback codec setting.
As I say, they are two completely different things.
Regarding the graphics, as I perceive that you are going to buy it "yes or yes", you have a (very basic) Gigabyte GeForce GT 740 OC 2GB GDDR5, (384 CUDA cores) that offers you a maximum resolution of 4096 X 2160 in digital, for about 100 € more or less. You can also go to the Quadro, the K2200 of 4GB DDR5 offers you 640 CUDA cores, of course it comes out four times more expensive… and from there, it depends on how much you want to spend (like the spectacular K5200).
The temperature issue, for W7 I use some widgets that monitor in real time both the CPU and the GPU, and I put them in this thread. If you don't want so much gadgetry on the desktop, you also have the SpeedFan.
And the RAM thing, you yourself, but for professional editing 8GB is very little.

Thanks! I can't afford to buy anything right now, but it really bothers me that I can't work properly to create GoPro videos, no matter what kind they are!
