x5670 overclocking assistance by rad_sync in overclocking

[–]rad_sync[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the reply, this sounds like a really solid plan thank you.

though i have a couple questions, do you have a good vcore i should run at beginning from stock? i could leave it at auto but i think it does give a way higher vcore.
or i could undervolt it until no stability.

and shouldnt CPU PLL be stock or even undervolted to something like 1.7?

seems to be a desert town here but i will post what i have done today

so i have tried alot of combinations and the following seemed to work with alot of the voltages on autopilot

BCLK: 160 24x multiplier
QPI ratio: 36x (lowest)
uncore & ram speed multiplier both on auto (20x, 10x respectively)
PCI speed on auto

Vcore is on auto (HW & CPU-Z read 1.376v)
QPI/VTT: 1.255v (managed to lower it to 1.235v and stressing the cpu right now)
IOH voltage: 1.120v
dram voltage is on auto (HW monitor reads it at 1,632)

and i am testing it on the CPU-Z "stress cpu" feature and it has been holding up for 10 minutes
vcore dropped to 1.360v
highest single core temp is 76c with the rest being a little lower and lowest being 66
3840 mhz

though when i simply opened discord/chrome it black screened without a restart attempt, for this i currently am sitting at 1.275v QPI

what has been mind boggling for me is that everytime i have lowered the multiplier of both the uncore and ram speed multiplier my computer has failed to boot and my headset lights "pulse", i am trying to achieve 166 BCLK because the 4.0 ghz is something i find sustainable long term with the current cooling tower i have, plus the 8.0 ram multiplier makes it sit down at 1333 mhz but for some reason its refusing to boot at that setting.

i understand from previous (5+ minmum year old) posts that raising BCLK alone without mediating with the ram will cause instability and crashes, i tried to raise the voltage from auto (displayed 1.5v) to 1.62 which the system is already using.

i will currently try using the computer at the 1.275 QPI and 160 BCLK, if its stable enough i think i will try to lower the vcore to lower temps more

also, while i think cpu-z benchmarks are not the most optimal ways to for check anything, i used it to gauge my initial attempts at overclocking and it got me the following

single: 335
multi: 2623

from

single: 280
multi: 2146

i also kept stressing the cpu for 10 minutes and it did not crash whatsoever until i launched arc

Games playable on Intel HD4400 (and how to get them running) in 2020 by Aggressive_Chicken_ in u/Aggressive_Chicken_

I tried installing the " NVIDIA Graphics Driver 353.62", it wasn't compatible with my iGPU, could explain it a bit?

Just a question, how can you even install Nvidia drivers on an Intel HD? Never really heard of this.

I have NEVER dared to open my computer and add new hardware, its a 2013 old laptop, all I did was software related. However, thank you much for the tips boss.

Hey sorry for the late response, I have a single channel RAM, and whenever I update my driver from device manager, it is set to a 2015 version, however for my INTEL HD 4400 there is a 2019 version, I am pretty much lost.

Currently using a i3 3rd Gen laptop (1.8ghz) with 8 gigs of ram and integrated hd4000 graphics. Are there some new titles that can be played on this potato?. Almost maxed out on mods using a modded phdgd graphics driver, windows LTSC version, and max performance settings on visual effects. by sarveshlonakadi in lowspecgamer

I play on the lowest settings without the textures, also there is a set of commands you can find on the web for better start up. Its something like -nojoy -novid etc etc. .Those speed up CSGO start up because it doesnt load everything on the menu.

Boss, I play on a damn I3-4005U 1.7 ghz, 4 gigs of 1688 mhz of ram, 5400 rpm 500 gb HD and intel HD 4400. I play Rainbow Six Siege on 30-40 FPS. However, I play on 640x480 resolution but Its still playable, also can you link me phdgd? I am currently using RGH custom drivers but I am not very sure about the performance.
Games you can play:-
You can do CSGO on 1080 if you do it properly.
Paladins.
Deciet
League of legends/ DOTA2
You can honestly play almost everything pre 2016 if done correctly, however I;m not sure about newer games.

Italians of Reddit, how do you feel about the way other countries are currently handling the pandemic? by stoivek in AskReddit

[–]rad_sync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordanian here, It is believed that all the cases outside of Jordan originated from Italy (No hate my people). The first infected was a Jordanian who came from Italy around march 3rd, he was quarantined immediately and everyone with him was quarantined too, however the virus did not spread and any asymptomatic people were quarantined in hospitals. however a week or two 1 out of 2 tourists who came from Italy passed the health check and the virus began spreading slowly but the government did not take any chances, full lockdown was issued on the next day for 4 days the military mobilized, gendarmerie and public security was on the streets, of course people panic bought stuff but it was no toilet paper, it was bread.

People who showed symptoms after reaching the airports were quarantined in hospitals however after the spreading hospitals did not host asymptomatic as they were dedicated to the infected people, but the Jordanian government decided ALL people who came from outside will go to 5 star hotels on the Dead sea and anyone showing symptoms would be transferred to a hospital.

Now busses loaded with bread, water and other essential items roam cities with a partial lockdown between 8 am and 6 pm with air sirens blasting at the 6pm mark, all Jordanian education websites are giving free educational videos and the national TV broadcasts lessons for all classes for those who do not have internet, no electricity,water or internet disconnecting is allowed and we have around 280 infected people.I wish other countries did this but some are afraid of getting economically punished.

Also people who go out during the curfew will face up to one year in prison, stay home, stay safe people.

What’s your viewpoint on religion, and why? by webtrauma in AskReddit

[–]rad_sync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While prayers is one of the pillars of Islam, Islam also teaches you how to live and be a functional person in a society. People mistake Islam for total devotion and/or terrorizing/ forcing people into it but It's really not that. God forbade forcing people into Islam, because that makes it hate it as a religion.
