Need help OC formula vi (and other stuff) ty

[persianbull]

Hi. first time posting here, also don't post on any forums often so pardon me if I'm no accustomed.

Specs
formula vi
4770k
gskill DDR3-2133 (16gb) F3-17000CL11Q-16GBLZ
2x 780ti OC direct cu (sli)
1000v coolmaster psu
cpu cooling (1250 antec water cooling)
Case cooling (live in canada so i ran a 6inch pipe from window to the side of the case, usually runs as 25-35 C* full load (gpu is at 20))
case phantom 630


OK so my problem is i cant OC pass 4.2 ( i have warrenty on cpu and mobo and i return them so this is on 2 different cpu and mobo) I have latest Bios, ive tried doing it on auto lvl and manual. ive watched endless tutorials on how to. And im completely stuck. I would like to offer 30$ on paypal for who ever can solve my problem (get it stable oc at 4.6 4.5 ) also im looking for a asus guide for oc my g-cards. i saw one before BUT i cant find it for the life of me.
THANKS for reading and posting.

Hello persianbull, Welcome to the ROG forum. It's nice of you to offer money for help but that is not how this forum works. Everyone helps out because they want to. If you would like help overclocking your cpu I can help you. Do you have GPU Tweak or Precision X installed? You can overclock your gpu's using either of these programs.

Getting x124 bsod's? Or qcode00's?

If so up your voltages. Was seeing this with a similar setup as yours.

Hi. thanks for replay. yes i have the gpu tweak installed. these are my gpus.
https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX780TIDC2OC3GD5/
i went up as far as 1.7v but still crashed at os loading screen on 4.6 with 1600 ram speed. im open to any suggestions thanks.

As for the gpus, i just wanted a basic guide on how to oc using gpu tweak. i remmeber seeing one but cant find it (driving me crazy) it was the guy from asus guides using gpu tweak. also do i have to take them off sli then tweak them cuz with my 580 evga ones if i changed any clock speed on evga program it crashed. thanks

also im just offering a reward cuz this is driving me crazy and I like incentives when i work so im sure others do to but ur noble help is much appreciated!!!

Try this, go into the bios and hit F5 to set defaults. Go to extreme tweaker tab and set AI Overclock Tuner to manual and sync all cores. Set the cpu core ratio to 44. F10 and Enter. If you have cpu-z installed open it and see what the core voltage is showing. If you don't have it, install that, real temp 3.70 and prime95. When you get those 3 installed return here.

i got all them installed but i have AIDA64 instead of prime95.

[Nate152]

All right you can use aida64 instead of prime95. Go into the bios hit F5 to set sefaults, set AI Overclock Tuner to manual, sync all cores and set the cpu core ratio to 42, let everything else auto for now F10 and Enter. Open cpu-z, real temp and aida 64, run the stress test in aida 64. Monitor the core voltage in cpu-z and maximum temps in real temp. Post what maximum temps and core voltage is showing.

the issue your having is typical with haswells, there are some that cannot be overclocked at all, im actually stunned you were able to return a working cpu cause it didnt overclock well lol

haswell overclock is usually directly related to heat, and if you can handle it

you got Nate here so your pretty set id just throw in the stats JJ has said in a bunch of his videos

Asus tested 700+ haswells
1 was able to do 5GHz
3-4 were able to do 4.8
a few couldnt overclock period
and the rest fell between 4.2 and 4.5

i myself so far have only seen really 1 person on this forum how has 1 that can do 4.8 on almost stock voltages, but every chip is different and with the haswell's the difference can be big
