Ebay 198W heatsink

I think an random short, or static. it booted up fine, i even went a few times in to my bios to do a reset, or restarted and it automaticallt started the epsa test. but in the morning suddenly it shorted my powerbrick making the light go out. my first problem was that it would not boot to windows from the bios but i had to select the MBR, but then things got worse lol. glad i still had warrant (and i was saving up to buy warranty anyway)

me 2 had the cmos battery error blink code, but it went from that to a beautifull brick lol.

i've benchmarked with 4.2x, 4.3x 4.4x and 4.5x. all on static voltages. 4.5 would yield me a 85 watts of power with a max of 82C and a average of around 76C. my max core differentials. my ambient temps were 22 max 24C when benching. i would advise you to use an static voltage for lower C's

 

I'll have to get with you later on the colts. At work currently and that's one thing I would love to delve into. And you do have a 5*C benefit over me in ambient, nice.

My 7820hk manages -140mv on the adjustable voltage though, what would you think it can manage on static?

 

Depends how much V it needs for the clockspeed you're targeting. Do a cinebench, Physx or other cpu intensive benchmark run and make a log. After you made the log you can see at which voltage your cpu settles and Target that voltage. Do not forget IA AC/DC automatically adds 1V (cancer BGA bios) so it 1.1 static becomes 1.2.

Mine runs at 1.18 for 4.2 static 1.150 for 4.3 and 1.22X for 4.4 and 4.5 I don't know from my head.

@Papusan has learned my how to do it and from that day on OC'ing went like a breeze ! Compensating on your adaptive voltage still can let your cpu sip too much volt so the temps will rise (for no reason)

As most users already pointed out @Falkentyne @Papusan and @Mr. Fox BGA is broke and will always be. LGA gives you much more bios control. AW locked everything

Do also not forget those values change depending on the BIOS you're using.

 

1V ?

 

1 V(olt) sorry if it was not clear.

 

Or I "Do not forget IA AC/DC automatically adds 1V(olt)" (cancer BGA bios) so it 1.1 static becomes 1.2 2.1

 

What about toying with the voltage via throttlestop, just setting it to lets say 1.18v under Static should be good enough, assuming my chips ability to handle said voltage is good enough and doesnt BSOD me?
