Asus Rog Overclocking Program

I7-8700k on Asus Rog Maximus X Hero 5Ghz OC - frequency not stable (self.overclocking) submitted 5 months ago by CattusKittekatus Hello, I OC'ed my i7-8700k on Asus Maximus X Hero (1003 bios) to 5000Mhz but frequency keeps changing from 5Ghz to as low as 4.7Ghz, settings as below (if its not mentioned its stock, but if you want to know some. May 26, 2017 - ASUS Strix 1080TI Overclocking Overview It's no secret that the NVIDIA. The regular Aura software to sync lighting with compatible hardware.

Conroe, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Skylake, and anything in between, we’ve overclocked them all. Each had their pros and cons, but the standout architecture in that list is Sandy Bridge. Good samples were capable of achieving stable overclocks of 5GHz on air cooling. It’s a landmark that has proven elusive, until now.

Finally, we have a worthy successor: Kaby Lake. Intel’s latest processors make 5GHz overclocks possible with air cooling, and you even can go beyond that.

No need for lengthy intros when excitement levels are at fever pitch. Let’s get down to business! Frequency expectations – i7-7700K Our R&D dept has tested hundreds of CPUs and found the following frequency ranges are workable for overclocking Kaby Lake i7-7700K CPUs: • 20% of samples are stable with Handbrake/AVX workloads when running at 5GHz CPU core speeds. • The AVX offset parameter can be used to clock 80% of CPU samples to 5GHz for light workloads, falling back to 4.8GHz for applications that use AVX code. • The ASUS Thermal Control Tool has now been ported into UEFI and can be used to configure profiles for light and heavy (non-AVX) workloads to extend CPU core overclocking margins on air and water cooling by up to 300MHz.

• Memory frequency: The best CPU samples can achieve speeds of DDR4-4133 with four DIMMs (ROG Maximus IX series of motherboards needed). DDR4-4266 is possible on the Maximus IX Apex. For mainstream use, we recommend opting for a memory kit rated no faster than DDR4-3600, as all CPUs are capable of achieving such speeds. CPU power consumption and cooling requirements One of the questions that always arises when we’re dealing with overclocking is “how much Vcore is safe?” Generally, we recommend constraining an overclock to stay below 2 X the stock power consumption of the processor under full load. To work out what that figure is, we can measure the CPU’s power draw via the EPS 12V power line using an oscilloscope and current probe.

To generate workloads, we tested with the brute-force loads of Prime95’s small FFT tests (AVX2 version) and also with ROG Realbench, which uses real-world rendering and encoding tests. Using both “synthetic” and real-world tests allows us to establish voltage recommendations for both scenarios. Don’t fret if you can’t understand the captures, we’ve performed the calculations for you and show the figure in Watts beneath each image. Stock frequency, ROG Realbench load current = ~45W Stock frequency, Prime95 load current =~76W 5GHz CPU frequency, ROG Realbench load current = ~93W 5GHz CPU frequency, Prime 95 load current=~131W With the data acquired, we can identify where our “self-imposed” limits lie.

The former gives you direct control over bit crushing, delay & sparkle as well as a phaser. But more interestingly, it has its own FX and Phraser sections. VCO 1 has a choice of 13 waveforms. Like its polyphonic brother, it has 2 VCO’s but also a Sub & Noise level control as well as filter, LFO and envelope controls. Uvi electro suite download.

We will add our obligatory disclaimer at this point and state that overclocking has risks and voids warranty unless you opt for Intel’s. Keep that in mind, as there’s no way for us to guarantee things won’t go awry if you overclock a CPU. All risks are your own. What follows is nothing more than a set of guidelines based upon our own experience. In order run Prime95 at 5GHz, our CPU sample requires 1.35Vcore. Power consumption under that load comes in at 131 Watts, which is comfortably below 2X the stock power consumption of Prime95. I must confess, CPUs are usually power rated by application power rather than Prime95, hence leaving some headroom below the 2X figure is prudent.

So, if you’re running Prime95 as a short-term stress test, we advise using no more than 1.35Vcore with a 7700K CPU. If the CPU has not been de-lidded/re-lidded for a thermal paste upgrade, you’re likely to run out of thermal headroom around that voltage anyway. Free mp3 download songs. Now, if you happen to be the type of user that spends more time running Prime95 than using a PC for other tasks, then we advise you reduce the maximum Vcore. “By how much?”, you ask. Well, you’re on your own for that. Remember, it’s current that degrades or kills a CPU.

Be mindful of how much load you’re placing on the chip long-term and act accordingly. There’s nothing worse than pushing insane levels of current through the die and then moaning when there’s degradation. Realbench is far kinder to the silicon from a power consumption point of view. At 5GHz and 1.35 Vcore, the power drawn is only 93 Watts. The risk of degradation is far lower than when subjecting the CPU to the brutality of AVX-enabled versions of Prime95. In fact, you could push up to 1.40Vcore with Realbench, and still keep consumption below the power levels drawn by Prime95 at 1.35 Vcore, but that’s as far as we’d go for sustained exposure to such workloads.
