Post your stock voltage overclock

[Markfw]

4.0 at 1.050V locked. tbh i was hoping for more.
my chip really doesnt like running faster than 4, it needs 1.30v to run at 4.3 so ..


what ? why would it?
overclock is nothing but BIOS settings. if a new cpu is compatible with those OC settings it wouldn't reset.

Unless its the exact CPU, every motherboard I have ever used, will detect it, and reset to stock got the new chip

The dude just said he sold the CPU with the overclock

pencil mod 😛

tbh i never tried dropping a new cpu in. anyway, all you have to do is load the OC settings..not a big deal really.

Stock volts varies from my chip to your chip to their chips.

To find yours just set uEFI on normal with zero offset. Running stock clocks load it with something like linpack11 and view your vcore.

Auto vcore can be way, way higher than needed for stability.

I know that, and that's why I asked. Personally I consider 'stock voltage' to be the voltage your cpu uses when running at stock frequencies. That said, different programs use different voltages, so to be really precise you would have to say 'this is the stock voltage my cpu uses when running Linx'.

I don't know how the voltages that the auto setting uses are chosen when overclocking. If it's the cpu choosing them: why would Intel bother including voltages for overclocked cpu's? If it's the mobo choosing them: you would have to mention which mobo is used when answering op's question.

I'll weigh in here, although the thread was intended for Haswell cores.

I recently tried this with my SB-K, and the limit for either "auto" or fixed "stock" voltage seems to be 4.2Ghz. In the fixed vCORE case, the voltage is set in BIOS such that the actual vCORE shows at the same value given by either the BIOS monitor or software under "auto." But I have done preliminary testing under "auto," and that seems to be the limit.

Since there are two generations difference between the Haswell and SB-K, and since so many people here report 4.2 Ghz, one might ask why. I haven't the slightest idea, though.
