What did *you* upgrade today?

I'm interested in all those pll, offset, etc voltages in your bios on that 3770k. Could you snap a photo or two of those for me? I never really dialed in the one I got from tankmaster. The onboard over clock uses way too much voltage and runs rather hot.

Its on an Asus highend board, whatever the atx z77 was, rampage or something.

Honestly I have most everything in BIOS set to "Auto" and I use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to tweak the freqs. I usually don't OC beyond a couple hundred Mhz... I always had bad luck with it back in the day and I pretty much gave up on it

I have 2-3770k's in ASROCK Z77 extreme 4 motherboards. Both are overclocked to 4.4ghz and crunch 24/7 and have for a year. I did nothing more than turn off any turbo feature, put all voltages on auto and bump the CPU Multiplier to 44. Temps run high 60c to low 70c depending on what I'm running project wise. Air cooled.

Thanks to both of you. I'll get to tweaking on it soon.

I have had it to 4.7ghz, but I had to increase voltage and I didn't like the Temps with my air cooler. It didn't throttle, but it seemed a bit of overkill for a 24/7 cruncher for the small increase in credits/day. The 3770k's run easily at 4.4ghz.

OK, you inspired me. I'm up to 4.0ghz

That's a good start.

Didnt upgrade a damn thing today! hehehehehe

Comming up on tax time, waiting to see how much Obama screwed me again this year...

If only we could file the cost of the energy we spent on crunching for a tax deduction.

Actually you can claim $250/year in donations without having to prove it. It's a start at least

Totally forgot that one! Thx for the reminder.
