Post your 3770 (non-K) overclock and Geekbench score

[MaDxCrEaM]

Since my gigabyte board limits the speed to 41 x 106 = 43 where @PJALM your board overclocks using the 43 x 106 = 45, could I push my baseclock little higher to like 109/110 or will that be too much and risk damaging something? Thanks for any help.

You can definitely try it, my bros goes to 109 but mine seems only stable to 106 and his is identical setup. It really depends on your cpu.

The GB score I get is above 18000 (18110 on the pic, but it went further already) :



The thing is - as you can see - a GB test on windows 7, and I read that it can be misleading (don't know why, actually...).
I did not set up the turbo ratios individually, but used the "non-K" OC setting of the Z77 Pro4-M 1.90 BIOS : it appears to get the ratios as DBP described : 43 (1 core); 42 (2 cores, 3 cores) ; 41 (4 cores). CPU-Z confirmed that, as you can notice if you look at the picture, when I was running another GB test in background to take the screenshot.

when i run my benchmark in windows my geekbench score is about 2k pts higher after the overclock, but when i run it in mountain lion 10.8.3, it looks like my score actually drops 2k pts

my windows overclock score:
17184

my mac overclock score:
12985

my mac non overclock score:
14235

all running on 64 bits.

do i need to do anything with my dsdt or anything like that once i overclock from my bios?

So I went back in the UEFI BIOS, and did set up each core to 43, as mentionned before by DBP ; did another GB test and got around 18100 : so no fundamental change compared to when it was set to "auto". Both with the "non-K" OC tweak enabled.

Then I tried to OC the DDR3 Dominator Platinum :
- OC'd to 2133 -> bluescreen ;
- OC'd to 2000 and - no bluescreen, got around 18300.

But I am not sure how OCing RAM works (should be sync with CPU ?, how, etc.),
anybody to give some clues ?

Can you do a OSX GB score for us? Those windows ones are very misleading.

I know, but I did not order my new OSX SSD yet, so I can't (don't have OSX running on that machine at the moment) ; sorry
