Hey folks,
I was helping a friend increase the overclock on an i5-750 system we put together back in 09 to get some better FPS out of the BF4 beta on Windows 7,
He has been at a mild 3.2 w/ 160 BCLK, 20x Multiplier @ stock volts (1.18 vcore) since 09. His board does not allow us to use the 21x multiplier that some other boards do. I don't have the exact board model on hand right now but I will update the thread once I hear back from him. It's one of the more common budget ASrock p55 boards. Yesterday we played a couple rounds with his mild 3.2 OC. His computer had lower-ish FPS but I imagine that was from running his stock 5850 @ high settings at 1080p. No obvious stuttering.
We pushed it to 4.0 Ghz with the BCLK at 200, vcore at 1.375 + LLC on. We got high temps so I reduced the vcore and tried pushing more VTT instead, increasing that to 1.219. After testing in Prime95 to get a baseline stability reading we started playing a round of BF4 to test it there too. We got these strange 1-2 second long stutters followed by a few seconds of regular level of smoothness, followed by 1-2 second long stutters etc. Assuming it was a bad overclock, we turned it down to 3.9, then 3.8, then 3.6, then back to the original 3.2 overclock. The issue would not go away and still hasn't. He is currently testing other games to see if they all run fine or not, but we played a game of Smite and it ran as usual.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? My guess is that it is a bug with BF4, so I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it
