MSI GT73VR Safe & Stable Overclock

I closed out every possible background app that was open and re ran the test.

 

Still low but a lot better. Hope you have cleaned up Msi's unwanted mess

 

Should be at least 940

 

@Tokyotim check your PM

 

These are my stable overclock results using fujipoly XR-m 17.0 watt/mk thermal conductivity pads and Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (both CPU & GPU)

Bios settings:




Playing Ghost Recon Wildlands 4K for 30 minutes







CPU bench




Fan Configurations:





GPU Overclock



Since I live in Panama, the climate temperatures in my country are a bit high, I think you can have better temperature results

 

Nice dude I'm going to try out your settings and see what I can get!

 

Here are my results with your settings. I ran Prime95 for 30 mins with AVX and FM3 off. I have fans on max (Cooler Boost). My home is a crisp 69 (giggity) degrees Fahrenheit. Temps got a little hot on max haha. Maybe Mr. Falkentyne can see something in my XTU I need to tweak .

 

My god!
Why are you OVERVOLTING by 100mv at 4.5 ghz?

You're putting 1.371v into that CPU at 4500 mhz and exceeding 100W power draw with just prime blend, without avx !!!!
I don't even draw that much at 4.7 ghz with prime 95 small FFT (without avx!!!)

Try removing the overvolt Set it to 0 offset
Then try 4.5 ghz prime blend.
If you crash or if you check EVENT VIEWER And get WHEA CORRECTABLE ERRORS, set the overvolt to 25mv.

I can actually run Stockfish chess engine stable at 4.8 ghz at 1.310v !
Only reason I can't prime is because of temps. Gets too hot. Would need about 1.320v and I can't keep the temps under 100C even with liquid metal.

 

WOW nice catch! Nice case of my dislexia kicking in I missed that!

 

This is my voltage settings that shows HWmonitor, they are correct?.. any suggestions

 

Here are the new results. 30 mins Prime95 max fans, no voltage offset. I played PUBG for about 30 mins with no issues

 

That's much better.
BTW you should set your ICCMax (amps limit) to about 150 amps. 100A isn't high enough. You were actually throttling in the original test you showed me.

 

less than 90'c is ok

 

Guys,
is there any post that explains how to overclock 73Vr 7RF from the scratch ?
Because everywhere I can see that people are sharing the result. I t is appreciated te share any link that is useful to overclock this monster

 

Ok, so I´ve overclocking and repasting, but I have quite a big difference between cores 1/3 and 2/4, so it looks like I have the same problem that others have reported. I guess I will buy the 0.5mm arctic thermal pad to see if I can even the cores temperatures. I´m also thinking about applying liquid metal, as I´m going to do the 1070 tdp mod. Should I apply it to both, cpu and gpu???

 

My highest Cinebench score with 6820HK from my previous GT80 Titan (980M SLI):



All I did is disabled all the running backgrund apps, XTU @41x all cores. With none of this technical stuff. Probably the highest out of this chip.

 

Lets agree to disagree....I´ve just runned it on mine. Got 942

 

Interesting. I would like to see your settings and the temp while running CB. I might as well apply your settings to my GT75VR since I can no longer achieve a 915 CB score no matter what I do.

 

HI! I am willing to overclock my PC a little bit.

Before I start to do anything, do I have to do anything in BIOS? Can I do everything in Intel XTU software? I am willing to get a bit more power from my cpu without cooler booster. Is that possible?
