It's been a very long time since I've posted here.
I'm here to post some moderate OC results. I'm hoping these settings will help some others start with a baseline and satisfy a few questions along the way.
OC Results:
BCLK: 100MHz
Cache: 4100MHz
Sync All Cores: ON
Multipler: 44x
Memory Freq: 2666MHz @ 1.20v
vCore: Adaptive Turbo: 1.320v Offset: Auto
vCache: Offset .25, max 1.20v AUTO voltage
VCCSA: Auto @ 1.16v
VCCIN: 2.00v
CPU SVID Support: Disabled
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PLL overvoltage: Enabled
Attempt Fast Cold Boot: Enabled
Attempt Fast Boot: Enabled
LLC: Auto (Will add approx. .08v to vCore at high loads to a total of 1.328v)
VRM Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Active Frequency Mode: Disabled
EZ XMP/EPU/TPU switches all off
Everything else is left Auto/Default
Temps:
CPU: Prime95 27.9/HandBrake/Aida64 will max around 75C on a custom loop and approx. 80F ambient temps. Aida FPU only test will spike it to 80-85C due to the AVX2 instructions.
MB VRM: 80C at Prime95 loads
I didn't win the silicon lottery this time. It took a lot of work to crest the 4.4 point on this chip. Here are my questions:
1. CPU Input voltage... the above is what it took to get stable at 4.4GHz at 1.32v. I'm aiming for a 24/7 O/C. Is that a reasonable voltage?
2. VRM temps at full load look a little high, but not too crazy. Due to the passive cooling on the VRM heatsink and the W/C I've no doubt lost some airflow over the area. Removing the case side doesn't drop the temps at all so it looks like I have good case flow. I'm tempted to say those VRM temps are OK. Typical loads bring about 65C. What are your thoughts?
3. VCCSA @ 1.16v is common at 2666MHz? This is the auto voltage setting. I may mess with this as I start to push the memory further.
3. What are your thoughts overall?
4.4 will be the max I'll push it. The water cooling setup I built wont effectively handle the higher heat output during these hot summer months (Phoenix, AZ) without some sort of chiller. I didn't exactly plan for 300W of heat dissipation.
