  • Keeping an OC stable

    I'm having trouble keeping my 4GHz OC stable. It'll quickly hard-lock my computer, while I'm playing games, and my speakers will screech until I reset the whole damn thing. The usual advice is to raise the Vcore, but my voltages are all set to auto and should provide whatever the core needs. I tried lowering the multiplier on my memory, but that didn't seem to help.

    I've also heard that i7's don't like even multipliers, but would keeping it at an odd multiplier really help?

    Thanks

    Sorry Dak, OC'ing is not something I like to do so I can't help you too much with your problem. I went through my OC'ing stage several years ago, now I'm too old and logical to do it anymore. lol

      If it was a voltage problem, the machine shouldn't start. The safe way to deal with an unstable OC is to start backing down until it is stable. Not all processors will OC to the same speeds, yours may just not be able to run as hard as you are trying to make it run.

        Mhurron is correct. It depends on the quality of the yield and from what batch your processor came from. Some batches produce a higher quality yield which can determine how fast (or in this case, how much more faster) you can clock your processor.
