Issues with overclocked CPU
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:13 am
Using RAMCache, while prime95ing, on an overclocked i5-3570k (4.2 GHz, 1.240 VCore) will cause prime95 to return errors and fail self tests - overall PrimoCache is very stable that I've noticed, with exception to this. Overall I was downloading Battlefield 3 via Origin, running a skype call, using a 2048MB Ram Cache to a momentus XT hybrid drive from seagate, using prime95 as outlined above, monitoring temps on my CPU via corsairlink 2 (I have an H100i), watching my resource usage using task manager, keeping a load on nVidia based MSI Cyclone GTX 460 1GB edition overclocked to 800/1600/1850, 1.062v and lastly, messaging on steam.
System Specs:
MB: ASUS P8Z77-V LK
CPU: i5-3570k OC 4.2GHz all powersaving features off, VCore 1.240
RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Black 1600MHz 8GB CAS timings 9-9-9-24 Voltage 1.5000V
HardDrive: Seagate Momentus XT Solid State Hybrid Drive 500GB/4GB nAND flash partition used as a read-only cache on LFU-R setting (Or equivalent set by drive firmware)
Graphics Card: MSI Cyclone GTX 460 1GB Ed.
Secondary (Storage) Hard Drive: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 2TB HDD on SATA 3.0Gbps port
Other:
PrimoCache settings had 2048 RAM Allocated to the Momentus using 4k blocks on Read/Write cache using LFU-R Defer write using 15 s latency, NO L2 cache.
