Ivy Bridge Overclocking Guide (Extreme LN2 Section Guide Included)

[Viss]

Could it be that Ivy is degrading after a few hours of benching?

 

I could bench at 6400mhz Aquamark, now only 6200?

 

Could it be the rather "high" temps on cascade that hurt it with HT enabled benchmarks ?

[Gamer]

Only tested it 3 times for WPrime 32M on LN², rest was without HT.

This is the second CPU that overclocks less that before.

 

I'll retest it with other coolpaste, I could only use AS Ceramique the last time.

GC-Extreme is ordered again.

Just try from fresh start

 

I have an E1 that sometimes does 6.55ghz 32M and sometimes won't do it at 5.9 even though mount is perfect, only thing I could think of is that it's got issues with thermal paste under ihs

 

 

 

Hey gamer it must be the paste if it's old ceramique, try ceramique2 btw its better and can be close to gelid!

[Hondacity]

yeah paste inside could crack..hence bad ihs contact...youch good luck ln2 benchers lol

I was just thinking about this today. Gawd I hope not.

[sin0822]

yea hopefully it isn't the internal thermal-paste, but what else could it be? We know that Intel isn't going to use a paste that has a good temp range.

Yeah I had the same problem and I chalked it up to a bad mount but I am considering this situation because there is no way I did a bad mount

 

I hate to pull the IHS but I may have too.

can always replace it

I have ran a lot of wprime and some 06 and was able to run 01-05 @ 6.5

 

Also I haven't even un mounted the pot been to lazy lmao

lol crazy cent

:banana:

 

i already put it on ln2 3 times so far and again friday...

 

i need to look at what some of the volts mean on the Vgene i havent pushed the VCCSA/VCCIO to only like 1.25v

Same here. Today the system ran fine. 5 hours without any problem and also booting at -165°C

Just try again and again.

[Leeghoofd]

it's your pot Roman, not the thermal paste that is excellent

 

Very good CPU you got there man , 05 score can be higher with HT off ?

[der8auer]

Thanks

 

Yea erm...What shall I say Actually I just forgot that I had HT active

probably no need to go much higher on those two, honestly 1.1 vccio and 0.9-0.95 vcssa should be a good starting ground, I still believe those to voltages are they key to killing/degrading cpu's.

GT2 usually boosts when disabling HT. At least, it did with Gulftown.
