guys

i been reading this nice article here


http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showth...clocking-Guide

what grabbed my att was this

"Additionally it is recommended to keep 「C1E」and「EIST」option enabled for the best overclock scaling. This is different than previous Intel overclocking expectations where the best scaling was with disabled power states or power management options."

do you guys use them ? i had them of and now i turned on and temps went down a bit on IDLE, i remember i tested this same on the UD7

cheers !

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for posting that link makes a good read to go over things etc.
Useful to people who are unsure about the correct settings as well.

i am using both. EIST & C1..

I read that when I got the board, enabling C1E & EIST does lower the temps, by clocking the procy to ~1600Mhz in idle.

ha!!!

great guys

hey whats the max bclk u get from this baby ?

im getting 108+ trying x52 now easy, its really awesome on the UD7 i blowed my raid trying 107 lol, but she did it, not at x52 of course

cheers to all

Im thinking on getting one Asus maximus 4 Extreme Z68, not P67.
Is there anything diferent frome P67 to Z68 in OC memorys ?

I have som some MNH-E that i would like to squeez...

Still on the asusrog guide.

It's mentioned about lowering...

VccSA: 0.926v - 0.933v (set to AUTO)
VccIO: 1.078v - 1.085v (have this set manually @ 1.08125v)
PHC PLL: 1.058v (set to AUTO)
PCH Voltage: 1.058v (set to AUTO)
CPU PLL: 1.773v (set to AUTO)

To get lower temps.

Now, I'm wondering how to do this... The above is what the BIOS is showing.

Has anyone tried lowering these to gain lower temps?

The AsusRog shows the following amendment to...
VRM Switching from 500 to 350 (for 4.8Mhz OC) but it seems people are sticking @ 500?

Also had some advise....
Enabling the following...
C1E
C3
C6

and setting C State to NO LIMIT.

Puts the cores to sleep/deeper when idle lowering temps while keeping the OC.

Anyone tried this or have any comments for these settings?

Comments appreciated

[Martin.v.r]

set PLL to 1.7 v

[MonsterDK]

set PLL to 1.7 v

CPU PLL to 1.7v... ok cool thanks for replying!
... anyone else have any advise or tips for these settings?

yeah im using PLL on 1,66+ since UD7

i read about this you post on NO LIMIT and the other C states

anyone has this enabled i just turned on lets see...

[andressergio]

well i enabled this states and this happened also on the UD7, vcore on IDLE gets higher as its on 1600, when it gets to 5000 goes to 1,416

i have vcore set on bios to 1,41
LLC 75%
VRM 350
PLL 1,7
VTT 1,08

all C states enabled + EIST




and this is browsing making the chip go out of C states




plz note the dif on vcore, without C states you will never see 1,424 on IDLE but enabling them YES

cheers

In order to get the idle vcore to drop when Cstate drops mhz to 1600 you need to enable offset vcore. I have been doing extensive testing with the offset vcore the past few nights and will post my results as soon as I am done.

[Martin.v.r]

hmm 24/7 oc got 1 I7 2600K to water is run 5.4 no drop to 1600
an 1 to Dice

that will be insteresting last time i try to on giga i gave my chip like 2 volts lmao

martin sorry but i dont catch what you try to say


are u using C1E and EIST or all states or none ?

[deachus]

Yea, I have it working great on my secondary rig (P8P67LE + 2600K) it idles at 1600Mhz @ 1.0v and full load it goes up to 3800Mhz @ 1.295v and is LinX maxmem stable.

Now, first few trys with my main rig have my load voltage at 5Ghz @ 1.62v. I am using the (-) setting to reduce the offset but the problem is if you use a (-) to reduce load voltage it also reduces idle voltage by same amount. Its a work in progress but will post up something once I get pretty comfortable with it.

jeeeeeze 5Ghz @ 1.62v !!! aint that too much or was a mistake ?

good luck on your tests

[Sauron_Vie]

here r my 24/7 settings using all C states and EIST

good luck on your tests

If you read this guide on ROG Forums for offset voltage (same place as guide you posted above) it states you enable offset voltage, then need to boot into windows and look at voltage reported by CPUZ ROG edition at load. Then you use the (+) or (-) offset to raise or reduce the voltage to get it as close as possible or dead on your known 5Ghz stable vcore (or whatever speed your running). The 1.62v was the voltage automatically set by bios so I used the (-) offset to bring it down from 1.62vcore to my required vcore of 1.49vcore (I know, bad chip and I still havent found a good one) which is a setting of (-) 0.13 (1.62 - 0.13 = 1.49vcore)

I still don't have it 100% figured out but like I said, I'm making progress. I believe my problem now is my idle voltage is unstable because the stock idle vcore at 1600Mhz is 1.00v where the offset of (-) 0.13 to be stable at 5Ghz now gives me a idle vcore of 0.87 (1.00v - 0.13 = 0.87vcore) which I believe isnt enough. Remeber, the amount you add or remove will apply to both idle and load vcore so you need to find the perfect medium I believe.

I still dont understand how the MB or CPU determines the starting vcore (1.62v) to start off with and that is what I am trying to figure out. You can select 3 different settings to enable offset vcore, "Manual" "Standard" and "Optimized".

Back to testing
