    Mine is 15112 at 4.7 that's the highest I have seen so far as shown in page 2.

    Wait a minute, you mean all you did was to increase the multipliers to 46 without changing the power limits, current limits, Turbo Power Max??

    I actually tried a 4.8ghz clock run. Firestrike crashed but my PC didnt. I need more voltage but I dont want to push that far without first delidding....

    Do they start shipping delidmate in NA yet or its a purely EU thing for now?

    Only EU for now. I have a freight forwarding service that gives me an address anywhere in the world.

    So I then choose the address I want, let's say a German Address for example, then when it reaches, they forward it to my actual location

    how thin of a layer should it be when applying CLU? really thin to barely cover the IHS or a bit thick?

    Personally I would go with as thin as possible while maintaining full contact. I have never worked with liquid metal based pastes but I know thermal pastes would always be worse than just metal on metal.

    The role of thermal paste is essentially to fill up the microscopic 'cracks' between the two metal contact surface in order for maximum surface area. It is however, going to be worse than just full metal and metal contact for the same surface area. If that makes any sense. I imagine its less crucial if you are already using a metal based TIM though.

    guys, if one changes a setting in XTU, does it also change in BIOS? like are they linked the same way as they were on my Alienware 18?

    Using Prema BIOS here

    Just checked, they are not linked, like if you change a setting in XTU then go back into BIOS, it doesn't reflect the same value as you changed in XTU

    I wish Prema makes bios for p750dm-g and release it to everyone :(.
    With stock bios, power is limited to 118w and current at 123A.
    And this is not good enought for 4.6 or higher.
    Memory can't be OCed as well.

    So now with stock bios on my p750dm-g, the best I can OC is 4.5 with stock memory clock.

    http://www.3dmark.com/fs/7732649
    (win 10)

    The strange thing about 3dmark as Phoenix mentioned before is that I can run 4.6 or 4.7 when I do only physics but not graphics together.
    If I run the whole bench with 4.6 or 4.7, CPU OC suddenly gets away.

    I need prema :(

    No one should win over the master. Then you have none to compete with... ;) Remember springs bounce back aka @Mr. Fox will beat back :D. It's pity I have low end OEM ram, but these will be replaced soon with Hyper X.
    I run a few Cinebench 11.5 tests today. Prefer to pass 11.50 in Cinebench 11.5 but low end ram prevent this, HaHa
    Whatever 11.40 in Cinebench 11.5 is also good. Somebody said hat raid 0 kill the processor performance, LOL
    I'll see if I have some money hidden a place for better ram, becauce I don't dare to ask my wife for more pocket money... Spent enough money now for this BGA Pussy-Crushing Beast, LOL

    What are all your overclocking settings? Voltage? Core Current Limits, Power Limits, Turbo Power Max, Cache Ratio and voltage?

    Phoenix, OCing Skylake is really easy.
    If you have prema which allows max current(A) and power(w), just max them to infinite number and all you have to care about is voltage and temperature.

    Core current, power, turbo max are all nothing if you just allow them to max number.

    -115mv @ 4.4 and you got 97 max temperature.
    Mine is runing -75mv @ 4.5 which means my CPU voltage is higher than yours.
    But your CPU is hotter.

    This does not mean your CPU is not good silicon-wise. But I think you have to care more about temperature.

    Wow!
    I was just going to bed and saw this lounge. Was indeed a nice idea!

    Thank you for the invite @Phoenix !

    When I wake up I'll read all the pages and check how things are going on here on the overclocking end of things!

    Ps.: my 4.4 ghz is running fine! I decided to keep it 24/7.
    I still hadn't changed the ring voltage though. Today was a busy day... I wouldn't be able to change it, test everything, stress it and do such things to check everything out.

    Sorry bro but I can't tell all my secrets, but most of what @godfafa_kr says is damn true ;). Remember not all silicone is equal and will give different results. Don't think @johnksss would tell all the secrets he know about OC either :rolleyes:

    I dont think there is any secret for OCing skylake.
    It's just temperature and voltage. Nothing else.

    The method of getting to know the sweetest voltage for your own CPU may be called "secret" but OC settings for skylake can not be called "secret" because is too simple and different for each individual CPU.

    If people stop sharing infos, oh.. man I dont even want to imagine.
    Prema, Svl7, Mr.Fox and J95. .. all of them have shared their abilities and real secrets to everyone. We all had and are still having good time with svl7&prema's unlocked bios/vbios. Mr Fox shared dual 330w power brick and his OCing experience with alienware which can only be achieved by pioneering endeavors. J95 is still sharing his ability of modding inf for aftermarket nvidia gpu upgrade. They do for nothing.

    Let's share infos and "secrets" to people for better world :)

    The processor can't do much if it is hindered by to low max number of Amp and Watt. Everything is very well answered in your previous post. All too low voltage provides crash, while to high voltage gives temp problems with throttling as last consequence before a possible lockdown.

    Yes you are right. I was asking people to share the settings not for me but for people who ask or need.
    I have been in OC world since 1997. So I am very used to OC actually.
    Haven't been Ocing seriously like john but I've been doing it for my fun.

    Anyway , recently I've got a very nice silicon 6700k with which I could OC it to 5.0 with very nice core voltage, of course on desktop.
    When I get time and if I get prema bios for p750dm-g, I think I will test this nice silicon CPU to my laptop.

    Well, I finally have a new pair of 980M in the Panther. Link below is 3DMark 11 comparing @Prema vBIOS to stock vBIOS with no GPU overclock. ASIC is pretty decent.

    I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. Time permitting, I will do some heavy duty overclocking on AC. I hope these will overclock better than the pair I sold. It certainly appears that they will at this point.

    True, sharing one's settings does not mean that other people will get the same OC successful or steal anything, it's just a nice base to start from and tweak further.

    Like I feel something is really wrong with my settings because at idle, my CPU temp is like 39C, very low, but the moment I start the stress test it jumps to 80 C instantly then reaches 99C within a minute, makes me feel sometimes that I have the CPU with no thermal paste :D

    I dont know.... try maxing out the AC?

    My idle is around 50c but I turn off the C states features its always running at full clocks.

    btw: I am opening the windows today :D Its a warm 6C.

    Yes my idle is @ 39C even with all cores running at max speeds, just give it any CPU intensive workload and watch the temps jump from 39C to 90C within seconds, it's like there is a devil in this CPU that is heating the living heck out of it

    Did something similar happen before you did your paste job? If so, you are just unlucky......

    You can check again to ensure proper contacts are made...

    If I wouldn't know it better, it seems that your heatsink doesn't make proper contact on your CPU.
    Would you mind sharing a pic or two of your pasting, heatsink and CPU wise? If you are so kind doing that just take the pics from an 45degrees angle with flash to see how your TIM has spread.

    OK guys random question, are the overclocking settings inaccessable without premas bios mod, I mean you cant even change CPU freq/voltages with the stock bios??

    Thanks

    Well at stock clocks on the stock bios I just did a quick and dirty bench on Haven and got avg fps of 29.9 at 4k with tesselation to max, AA turned off and in NVCP maximum performance set along with single display mode enabled.

    As for temps, CPU barely touched 70 (although I dont think haven affects the CPU much), one of the GPU's hit 87 Max and the other hit 73 , what are peoples thoughts on these , good bad ugly?? I'm running the DUAL 980m option with 16GB vram.

    SLI doesn't mean you combine both 8GB GPUs to get 16GB. The actual usable VRAM is only 8GB not 16GB
