Ok, here is my last try and ill give you a free aida64 extreme edition key for helping

I have a alienware 18, i7 4930mx , 32 gb ram, windows 10, two samsung 840 pro series in Raid 0, , and two GTX 780M's in SLI.


I have followed every post , every settings, ect and never can i get a stable system. My thinking it usually someone will post their XTU settings, but won't post what they set in their bios before using XTU, ect. SOme peopel say use throttle stop instead of XTU which I actually would rather do. I currently have HWINFO running perfectly with custom fan profiles set up and ready to go.

Can someone please set up their system with either their cores at 42 , 42, 42 ,42 or 41, 41, 41, 41, Please post what you set in the bios, and then what settings you set in XTU or THrottle STop. using your cell phone and snapping a bios pic, and then pics of your settings in whatever program you use is fine. for the help Ill send you a unlock key for AIDA 64 Extreme Edition. Usually you get 30 day trial periods but then they want $39.95 for it. just Pm me and let me know how you made out..thanks again.

 

Here are my BIOS settings and XTU settings for 41x4 but this is on the 4940MX I hope it will work for you

And no need for the key I already have a license for AIDA64 and just about any benchmarking tool out there since I play benchmarks all the time, this is my hobby, chasing numbers

Pending pics uploading, please bear with me for 1 hour

 

Here you go, start with leaving the Cache ratio and cache voltage at default only play with the CPU multipliers and core current and other settings but leave the cache alone to check for stability first.:

 

Thank you very much For taking the time out to help me brother. I will try them when I get home. Do You use throttle stop ? Or should I just use xtu?

I also noticed in your bios your flex ovErride is 33 My default is 32 and is unchangeBle. Is that because I have a 4930 and you have a 4940?

Also I may Have keys for Aida extreme, Aida business and Aida engineer. I may be off with the names because I'm going off memory but basically there are 4 versions of Aida 64 and I have keys somewhere for all of them if you would like to use a different version. Thanks again bro. I can't wait to get home to try it

 

You shall have Flex ratio override at <32> since you have a i7-4930mx. The rest of oc settings in bios follow @Matrix Leader6 pict of bios. Don't forget that Non-turbo flex support shall be <disabled> in bios if you have changed Flex ratio override. Don't start with too low voltage first time rather reduce voltage later if you have a good stable oc and a good chip. 1.180v-1.185v is a good starting point. Bus clock current frequency in bios aka Reference clock in Xtu can you change to something above 100 mhz later and 100.3mhz is a good choice. I recommend that you test your oc profile well so that you have a stable Overclock before you choose to use Trottlestop. Once you have a stable Overclock then you can start to use Trottlestop(ok guide in Trottlestop tread, also video guide). Remember to disable Xtu in services if you choose Trottlestop. It is not a good thing that both oc software start simultaneously when Windows starts, because both software write to the same register in processor. Test your new oc profile with Wprime 1024(8treads) version 1.55, Cinebench 11.5/R15, Xtu bench, 3Dmark11, 3DMark Vantage, 3Dmark Sky Diver and games so you see that everything is stable without problems. You shall know that 3DMark Fire Strike is a " lady" test... A benchmark test that does not stress the processor much and which I think is almost a useless benchmark test . Remember to monitor temperature during testing of stability. Test also with full virus scan several times, as this is a different type of load on processor than benchmark tests. Don't forget that this can be a trial and error ride before everything will be fine for you. Follow temperature carefully and be happy . Happy Clocking and smile when you thinking about throttling Bga trash that is not on the same level as your socket processor...

 

As I said bro, really, no need for any key, I am glad I can help just as I am glad as many others here helped me for free and took a lot of time and effort to stay with me till the end until I get to this stage where I know just 5% of how this Overclocking game works.

@Mr. Fox is the most helpful man alive on this planet.

Now with regards to Throttle Stop, you can use it for example to setup multiple profiles such as a profile for surfing the net such as 4x39 = 3.9 GHz and another profile for watching movies such as 40x4 and another profile for high performance - Gaming such as 41x4 but I really don't like all this mess and don't like to have to rely on too many things to get an overclock working so XTU + those BIOS settings are all that I use really.

 

Man it worked for like 10 min then froze while still in xtu. No BSOD's but I got freezes. What causes The computer to lock up? Rather then BSOD? Maybe if I know what causes thAt I can adjust that setting

 

my guess is insufficient Vcore

 

Test with Wrime 1024(8treads) and monitor temp. Instability or freeze without bsod comes mostly from to low core voltage or unstable Cashe. Up with voltage or down with cashe and try again... None of these Howell processors are equal. Some must have more while others require lower voltage and in addition other power settings... Only trial and error http://www.putme.net/wPrime155.zip

 

Try a core voltage of 1.195V

Remember to leave the cachio ratio / voltage at default for now

Also, are you sure you made the settings exactly like mine in the screenshot I gave you? putting a static offset of 2mV and processor input voltage of 2V?

 

I Have everything set like yours however i only see one setting at 2v and that is processor input voltage with core voltage set to static. Nowhere on my screen is there a place to put a static offset of 2mv. Even when I look on the side column of your screen shot I only see one settings at 2v., i dont see 2mv anywhere.

 

Ok i raised my core voltage up to 1.195V like said, checked to make sure my processor input was at 2v and it was.

I still can't find static offset of 2mV anywhere on your page or mine. maybe thats the issue. i just ran wrime 1024 and it ran for about 5 min and then the computer just shut off. no BOSD, no Freeze, shut complete shut off.

 

@Matrix Leader6 mean of course Dynamic CPU voltage offset... On his Xtu settings in pict he has 25mv. Maybe he has changed offset to 2mV ? You can run the core voltage on 1.195v or 1.200v(also up to 1.220mv) or/and reduce Cashe to 38 and retest Wprime 1024 and Cinebench 11.5 again(remember higher voltage=higher temp). You have to try different settings. To low core voltage can mean instability on a badly chips(remember the silicon lottery). The same can happen if Cashe is unstable with too high cashe ratio or to low voltage...
What was the score in Wprime 1024 and how high was the processor temperature?
Edit. Here's one that might have success with a i7-4910mq at 4x42. None of these Hotwell chips are similar. It's just trial and a lots of errors before everything sits. http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...rmance-under-load.777131/page-4#post-10028270

 

No bro,

what I have is a 25mv for the Dynamic CPU Voltage Offset and 2v for the Processor Input voltage, they are 2 different things. Setting the Processor Input voltage to 2V was a tip @Mr. Fox gave me because I was having stability issues where the system with BSOD out of the blue and that 2V setting solved it.

 

I know of all settings in xtu and that they are 2 different setttings . I only said that you maybe changed your dynamic Cpu voltage offset from 25 to 2mv, not about your 2v Processor input voltage because you said that in your earlier post . @Matrix Leader6 read your own post #10 and what I wrote in post #13 one more time
