Well I have so many different input on where to put my max temperatures on delidded CPU clocks, so not sure if 4.8 or 4.9 is gonna give much more from 4.7. What are your opinions?
I have a amd 8320 and a radeon 7870 I have no problems running max.
what about a 270x?

Heya,
So I have made several 10x rungs on intel afterburner to confirm stable cpu and has started to make a slight tweak to my nGeforce 560 TI graphics card.
I have managed to run 900 core clocks and 2150 memory clocks through 1 single run of Heaven Benchmark with max temps of around 63-64, which is very safe as far as I understand. I have a tall case with full-speed multiple fans to make a good air flow which I am sure is contributing in some way.
Attempting to run 950 and 2200, everything between 30-40 shuts down Heaven Benchmark and returns video drivers (and my OC) back to stock.
How do I resolve this?
Personally I think I might have a slightly unstable MB/CPU system of some sort, note that I have only overclocked my CPU and not ram.
Specs:
Z77a-g45
3770k i7
Windows 7
Thank you!
Heya,
I wanted to make sure that the problems was not caused by lack of power, so the answer is that I have not changed the power/volt sliders in afterburner, and Iīve not figured how to enable them yet. Sounds like that is a main suspect.
@tp4tissue
Now sure what you mean with cpu and ram seperately, I assume you mean stability tests? I donīt really have any intentions of overclocking my ram as I believe I donīt have any benefits from doing it unless you tell me otherwise. I have plenty of ram memory unused daily.
Another weird problem is that my fan does not seem to follow the automatic control curve I have made when afterburner is not an active window / running. Is it possible to resolve this?
It depends how good you want to get at SC2. A lot of GM players will set their graphics to medium or even low, because the the shiny colours etc on high/ultra can be distracting.
As someone else said though, regarding performance sc2 is cpu bound anyway.
After overclocking my GTX 560 TI from 800 to 950 MHZ and memory from 2000 to 2050, I actually bolstered my FPS by 15%, at least in the beginning of games from 120 to 150 fps, which is around 100 to 120 fps when streaming (Lag is still slightly but almost impossible to notice)
This actually makes me think VGA upgrade could be ideal for more fps.
@bearWell of course... but 120 to 150? Not sure if that's gonna make any difference.
Yeah I am well aware, but the initial gameplay matters as well.

how do i shot bios?
How did you test cpu stability? You might not have tested your system as stable enough for your activities.
And also on a slightly offtopic note. How does everyone else test stability? I test and pass 12hrs of each prime95 test but still have instability in some games(specifically Need For Speed, hate and gonna uninstall the game but because of the crashing I can't seem to do so until I know i have a stable system that can run it without crashing). Gonna move up to 24hrs and it seems investing time is the only answer? Anybody have experiences with faster testing? Cause I'm planning to undervolt this hot ancient computer at a relative's house this weekend but I'm not gonna have a lot of time to do so. :/
Not that it matters too much, but what is the consequeneces to other applications if I disable hyper threading? Also, is it normal that my 4 cpu cores have different ratios? 2x38, 1x37, 1x36
Why is it that my tests on 1.15v, since my temperatures are this low, is basically unstable at even just 975 mhz core and stock memory frequency? I see artifacts, a few spikes and stuff right before a crash in heaven benchmark, usually 40-60 second into the test.Low temperatures does not mean stability. You can be at 50C and still crash if you don't have enough voltage for your frequency. You may just be unlucky and have not so good overclocking card. Lower your core frequency until artifacts dissapear and than see if you can raise memory frequency.

if the processor i'm testing has avx then I use intel burn test.. overnight, 8-12 hrs, then prime small ftt 12 hours, then prime custom , load max ram minus 1GB..
So 36 hour test suite..
If I don't have avx on the processor, then I just use prime 95 small ftt-12hrs and then custom max ram 12 hrs.

Oh right! Forgot about changing ram amount. And guess I gotta try out intel burn test again. Couldn't get the program to run probably last time.
Has avx. Ran 20 runs very high but still stable.... just gonna uninstall need for speed lol. All my other programs so far runs fine. And also, related to haswell voltages, I know theres a new voltage vring that controls cache and uncore voltages. Previously vring voltage was same as vcore's right? With haswell they made it separate and im getting conflicting answers online as how to set it. Out of curiosity @op whats your vring set as? Actually... just gonna say like the others have post your bios shot.
