BSOD at stock clock speeds after overclocking

Hello everyone, my name is Sem and i'm from the Netherlands. I'm new to this forum.
I have a question about my system. When I try to run a stress test with AIDA64, it gives me a blue screen in Windows 8 after a certain time. I know that this is a common problem with overclockers and that it is mostly due to their voltage setting being too low. But the problem with my system is that I haven't applied any overclocking or voltage tweaks at all. I have reset my bios with F6 and all the settings are the same as when I bought the system. The system is fine for normal usage and light to medium gaming, but why does it crash at a stress test? I have tried some voltage settings, but i think 1.27V is a little bit high for stock speeds (it still crashes at that speed). I hope someone is able to answer my question.
System specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k
MOBO: MSI Z87-G45
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 1600 8gb kit (2 x 4gb)

Is the ram installed into DIMMS 2&4?
Have you tried running memtest? It is included with the forum flash tool: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
I do have checked the ram slots in the meantime. And yes, they are installed in DIMMS 2 and 4. I didn't really understand which memtest you meant, because when I started the flash tool it only told me things about flashing my bios. I did run the built in windows memory diagnostics, which showed that there were no errors found.

Quadro 4000 owners - Clock speed at maximum with Premiere or After effects

Hey guys,
I just upgraded my Quadro 2000 to a 4000 (latest driver 311.35, and I'm wondering if all your clock speeds jump to maximum when running premiere or after effects? Even if no editing or playback is going on and GPU load is at 0%? Or do they they throttle down when idle? I'm using GPU-Z to check.
Mine Throttle down once I leave Premiere (or After effects).... just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience. I know they run really hot when the clock pseeds are at maximum.
Also, I do have powermanagement set to "prefer maximum" and I'm using video editng mode for ny base profile.
Salud.

Yeah, nvidia got back to me and saud if you set your powermanagement to 'prefer maximum' any program that access the gpu (hardware acceleration for insrtance), the clock speeds will max out.
Thanks for teh reply!

Hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 fluctuates my gpu clock speed and for some period of browsing will hang the gpu at the highest clock speed available even after closing Firefox 4.

After browsing heavily in Firefox 4 for some time, my gpu (ATI 5870 with the latest drivers) will stay clocked at the highest clock speed of 850Mhz and memory clock speed of 1200Mhz. Even after closing Firefox 4, the gpu will not down-clock and stay at those highest speed. I've tested the same browsing pattern on IE9 and in which this problem didn't exist so I don't think it's a driver issue. I now have to browse with hardware acceleration turned off to ensure I don't get this problem.

Ive downgraded from FF4 to 3.6 at this point. The CPU usage is out of control on OS X.

Stock clock...configure to be always ON?

The stock clock on the screen is apparently programmed to go OFF when the screen is unlocked. Is there a way to have it
stay ON, after unlocking the screen?
Or do I have to go to an aftermarket app, such as Beautiful Widgets or Weather&Toggle?

All MacBook fans will always be running (even when you are not running any applications). The original MacBooks (Core Duos) first shipped with the fans only coming on when the notebook started to get warm. The problem was that the fans would make a slight whirling up sound when they started (referred back then as "mooing"). They would then only stay on long enough to just drop the temps a little bit... as a result, the fan would would start up again sometimes seconds later... than stop again. Many people found the noise disturbing as the fan was constantly starting and stopping for short periods. Shortly afterwards, Apple released an update that kept the fans spinning at a low RPM all the time... so we wouldn't hear that constant spin up sound.... Apart from getting rid of that annoying noise, it also meant that the MacBook would run a little cooler meaning it would take longer before the fan would have to speed up to a higher RPM (making the fan a bit more audible).
So... basically... yes... it's normal for your fan to be always spinning.... even when not in use. I miss the days of the G4 notebooks. My iBook fan almost never came on... but these new Intel processors are much more powerful than the good old G4 processors. As a result, the days of getting away without running a fan at all are pretty much over. Of course this is compounded by the nature of the design of these notebooks. They are very thin and components are packed super tight. There isn't much room for heat to escape, so the fan pretty much has to do all the cooling.

Disappointing MSI GTX 660 TF3 clock speeds / voltage, not on par with others

Hi,
I wanted to ask why is there suck a disperency between my GTX 660 TF3 speeds/voltage compared to other people.
My max boost clock is 1123.5 whereas most references i found are above 1150/60+ in average
My max voltage under full load in GPU-Z is 1.162 whereas others got 1.175
Is it linked to my poor ASIC of 68.8% ?
Currently disappointed because i thought that by buying an MSI card (premium priced in my country) i would got better clocks or at least clocks in the average range of other users. I guess i'm just unlucky, but being a bit burnt now, i think i'll pass and try another brand next time.
That said, is it normal that my card doesnt even reach a voltage of 1.175 under full load ???
Thanks in advance for your reply, and merry christmas anyways.

Thank you for the reply, but talking to me about overclock is a bit off-topic dont you think?
not really as the boost clock is an automatic overclock (the boost clock is down to the GPU as well, some will hit the target of 1150MHz some wont)!
Quote from: zigzagzap on 26-December-12, 05:30:34
Under stock presets (no-overclock-at-all), all of them have cards that got a 1.175 voltage under full load whereas mine is only 1.162
Even when you look at reviews on internet, you can see that they list 1.175v as STOCK voltages under full load in their default specs sheet for that MSI card.
All in all, gotta ask again, is it normal for my card to not run at 1.175v on stock presets? Yes/no?
like i said it depends on the individual GPU! most will run at 1.175V under load normally but some wont as its very random as no 2 are identical and the voltage the core asks for is very random from sample core to sample core!
its all luck of the draw..... <--- seen some referance cards that will out perform full custom ones.
if you not satisfied >>How to contact MSI.<< contact them and if you wan't a replacement then they will tell you how to go about it! <--- no expected voltages or clock speeds are ever fully garenteed as the newer GPU's are all over the place.

890FXA-GD65 PCI-E 1x port slow after Overclock.

Ok so at home my gaming rig which i just recently built around the 890FXa-GD65 is Wireless with the Dlink N PCI-e Card. I upgraded to this board from a NF750-G55,. Issues is that when ever I overclock in general the PCI-e ports go into a sluggish mode, reason why i know is because my wireless card relies on the pci-e port so internet is bogged down about 65% after overclock. Have ran speedtest.net with stock settings and Internet speed works fine, but then when i overclock and run the speedtest.net internet is tremendously slow. Could it be an option that gets disabled after overclocking that can be causing this to happen. On my MSI NF750-g55 this issue never happend! Help!

Hi ppl
After more than a year and i still maintain the same setup: mentioned in this topic. It's been performing very well, graphics wise.
Overall the W500 is a great laptop. It's been updated with a 256GB Samsung 830 SSD and nothing more.

Won't detect full memory clock speed on DiMM 3-4

Hey guyz... got a little bit of a strange situation with my MSI K8N-F PCB 1.0 systemboard hope you can share you're knowledge on this...
I got a 2x256MB VR Kingston DDR400 Single sided ram that I installed on DiMM 1-2 and was able to read the memory clock around 200Mhz, but when I transfered the two memories on DiMM 3-4 it only reads them 185Mhz on the BIOS and which confuses me. when I checked the manual it doesn't suppose to lessen the clock speed total to 333Mhz but still should come up to 400Mhz can anyone help me with this?!?! appreciate the feedback....

try reseting the BIOS by taking out the battery for 10 minutes. try running it again at optimized defaults (that means no overclocking) in slots 3&4.

Low clock speed with amd 3400+

hi all,
i have an amd 3400+ 64bit and i have downloaded multiple hardware information programs which state that my CPU clock should be between 2.8ghz - 3 ghz with this type of processor, however i only have 2.1 ghz.I have searched the bios and have notice many features are unavilable, i basically cannot change anythings except boot devices and other things that are not usefull to me, my bios does not give the option to change clock speed, or voltage, or bus speed. my current FBS is 201 mhz and my motherboard is MSI k8T800 7010 with phoenix awardbios 6.00pg version 1.14 03/02/04 can any one help me please i would like to get my processor to the correct speed of 3 ghz.

ah right, so it also says the maximum clock speed is 3000 mhz , so with overclocking can my processor achieve this? i have 1 mb of l2 cache.
EDIT what do i do with the bios though because i have a really slow fan that i need to speed up but as i said hardly anything can be done from my bios?!

MSI 6600GT AGP standard clock speeds?

Ok, I got coolbits installed. Opening the tab for the first time, The "no overclocking" button is selected, 2D is selected along with core clock set at 300 and memory clock at 900. I DO NOT have the "apply these settings at startup" selected yet.
I cannot find anywhere in the owners manual what the standard core and memory clock settings are supposed to be for thing. Can anyone tell me?

Quote from: Trailryder on 14-February-05, 01:32:15
Thanks Richard, I'll try those.
Ok, just a sec, the core is 500. The ram on it is DDR. When you say 1000 for the ram clock speed that means I actually set the clock speed to 500, right? Setting it to 1000, because of DDR, would actually make the speed 2000. Is this right? Or does the actual setting slider not take into account the DDR(2x)?
You set the number to 2 times the memory clock speed. If you bring down the menu to 3D, it should be 900Mhz which is the default for the MSI. If you were to overclock it you would set it to 1Ghz, which is 100Mhz higher. The MSI card should be able to handle that with no problems. The memory is rated for 1Ghz. Once your start going over 1Ghz your starting to really overclock the memory. Most of the MSI cards should be able to do at least 1.1Ghz.
I have had two MSI 6600GT cards. The first card could do 1.17 on the memory stable. The second card can do only around 1.14.

M30 Centrino clock speed

I have a Satellite Pro M30 notebook and whenever i check the system information, it shows that the clock speed is at 598MHz, whereas the processor should run a 1.5GHz. I have tried using the "always high" option from the BIOS, but that does not change the freqency at all. the notebook is substantailly slower than it would be and it has been like this since i purchased it.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Thank you for your help

Did you buy a new one or already used Notebook?
I ask you this because CPU speed is absolutely too low. It can happen after changing of motherboard because in this case it is necessary to update a special firmware to get the full CPU-speed.
Without this firmware the machine runs at a fixed speed around 600MHz. The best solution is to get in contact with the Toshiba Service partner and ask them if they can check motherboard.

Stock Clock app desk clock function

I've used the stock Clock app on my S4 (and previously on a different phone with an earlier version of Android) for alarms, timers, and a stopwatch. I only just discovered (because it's scrolled off to the right in portrait mode) that it has a desk clock feature as well. Sorry for the length of this, but I want to post on this in case others have not seen it either. (The user manual is hopelessly uninformative.)
When you tap the Desk Clock button in the Clock app (turn it sideways to landscape mode for easiest access), you get a screen with the time and date, a calendar, and a weather widget. (On my S4 it's an AccuWeather widget, which seems not to update unless GPS is on, making it less useful.) In either portrait or landscape mode, it's a handy clock to have on, especially with a kickstand. Press the Menu key to get Settings for options to display or not display the calendar and weather, and to access the system Date and time settings.
It gets handier when you tap the little icon in the upper right corner to make it full screen. Now it displays without the other Clock app buttons across the top. It also has four shortcuts across the bottom of the screen, for Alarm, Music, Gallery, and Internet. The Menu key in this full-screen mode offers more options, including changing or hiding those app shortcuts, and settings to hide the Status bar and to choose a background from your gallery or use the Home screen wallpaper (but a busy background makes the clock hard to read).
In this mode, the desk clock display is not affected by the screen timeout setting. It will display indefinitely. After a brief time, it turns off the background image (I hear two little splash noises when it does this) and just displays the time and date and weather on a black background, I presume to save battery. To prevent the remote possibility of burn-in, it even moves the items displayed around on the screen every so often. This display mode can also bypass the lock screen. With the desk clock in full-screen mode, press the Power/Lock key. (Again I hear not one but two little splashes when the phone turns off.) When I press the Power/Lock key again, instead of my lock screen, I get the full screen desk clock.
You may want to plug the phone in if you keep the clock displayed for a long time; even with the black background it's going to be using some battery. As far as I can tell, using the above procedure will keep the clock displayed as long as you want. Since it bypasses your lock screen, when you press Power/Lock to turn the phone on with the clock displayed, everything is available: you can just touch the screen to restore the background and access the notification bar, or press the Home button, or whatever.
Two last notes: The settings for the Desk Clock function also include settings for Dock, which I don't use and can't report on. Also, I don't have a PIN or pattern set up for my lock screen. I suspect that if you do, this will not bypass the lock screen, on the reasonable assumption that you want some actual security; but I don't know for certain, and hopefully someone with experience on that score can post a reply.

Nice! Thanks for the write-up.

NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC - no clock speeds at all

Greetings from the Netherlands,
I'm the proud owner of an NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC for a month now.
On Windows XP Pro I had no problemens I had no problems overclocking this VGA card.
But now I switched to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit and my clock speeds disappeared.
GPU-Z, Rivatuner, Powerstrip, ATITool and even the overclocking module from MSI itself doesn't see any clock speeds.
I've tested with the 169.25 drivers from the Nvidia website and the 169.02 drivers from the MSI website.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Sorry i linked to the wrong one 174.74, use those 174.74 instead {which basically is the same , except supported VGA's}

MX440 T8X + Clocking speeds

I have recently bought a MX440 T8X card and want to know what the following means:
Memory clock = 405 mhz
Core clock = 250 mhz
When I set these settings to higher speeds the card seems to preform better. However, does this count as "overclocking" and is this safe? What is the maximium a MX440 T8X is sussposed to do?
Thanks.

The memory clock is the frequency of the graphics card's memory, very simmilar to your pc's memory (like in DDR400 runs at 400MHz, your cards memory runs at 450MHz). The core clock is the actual GPU's frequency, just as your CPU's speed
If you increase the clock speeds of these items, you are essentially overclocking your graphics card. Overclocking your graphics card is safe, provided.it's done in a small margin. The safest settings will probably be below 10% of the cards origional speed, however make sure your card runs relativelly cool, and don't overclock too high as it might cause overheating, corruption in games, crashing or damage the card permanently.
Good Luck!

CPU Clock speed with Belle Update

The original symbian^3 devices run on the ARM 11 Processor which has been optimized to function close to 1GHz. But they're currently running at a speed of 680 MHz. My request to Nokia is that please optimize our processor speed to atleast 1GHz with the upcoming belle update. If you haven't planned on doing it, please do it with a minor update atleast after you release belle. I'm not an expert on this. So suggestion and comments are welcome.

I would be surprised if the rest of the hardware in the phone, like the RAM etc, couldn't support the maximum CPU clock speed. When such sophisticated electronic devices are designed it's impossible to know until it's all been put together how it will actually perform as a complete unit - the hardware, software, battery capacity, etc. The clock speed allows a fine-tuning once everything comes together, to get the optimal balance.
Well-made software makes a huge difference to how much CPU/hardware resources are required. Software efficiency is the most important factor of all.
A GPU is only there to perform tasks that would otherwise take up huge amounts of CPU resources. Dedicated graphical tasks such as 2D scrolling, 3D texture-mapping/filling for example. But that's all. The CPU is still running the whole show, but just has much of the load taken off it by the GPU.
So with the GPU doing more and more, the CPU and it's speed become less relevant.
A few things here, some of what you have mentioned I agree with. But some I dont. Firstly when any device is designed, things like the GPU and RAM are all allowed for, that is the speed at which each is capable. There is no use taking pot luck saying oh we think that will be enough. Its all calculated right from the word go.
Its done for several reasons, firstly costings, there is no use producing something that is so expensive no will be able to afford it. secondly to make sure you dont end up with bottle necks in data flow. Also it no use producing something that is so slow that you cant do anything worthwhile on it. That is some of the reasons.
You are absolutely right about software, well made software installed in a relatively slow running device can quite often beat poorly designed software running on a fast machine at exactly the same task. O/S like windows for instance, in my opinion only, whilst full of features, is definitely bloated, and not well designed. A standard install disc for windows these days is around the 3Gig mark (depending on version of OS), where as something that does exactly the same thing like Linux still fits on a 700M cd.
And you are right about the GPU, its does relieve the pressure on the cpu. Unfortunately the gpu in an N8 or an E7 is only running at 200Mhz. Considering most things are graphical based on these phones. I would have to wonder how much of the gpu is being used, especially when the one chip is running everything from the 2d/3d graphics/rendering, the camera up to 12MP, HDMI, HD video recording and play back, a stack of video codecs etc.
Unfortunately the main cpu from everything i was able to find is simply listed as an ARM11, these processors run on several Nokia's phone, including the older E90 (which had dual cpu's but ran at much slower speed of about 332 Mhz., however the Arm site list the ARM 11 as several versions, including one that actually has 4 cpu on the one the chip but only presents itself as 1 cpu to the rest of the hardware, with this cpu running anywhere up to 1Ghz. So its entirely possible that the 680Mhz listed for the N8/E7 could be as fast as it goes. Also the current versionof the ARM11 have a power consumption of 0.21mW/Mhz. so based on that figure a processor running at 680Mhz would consume 142.8 mW, but at 1G it would be 210mW, that a difference of 67.2mW. That would mean your phone would go flat a lot quicker. This info is based solely on information that I can find on Nokia run sites, ARM's site and broadcoms site. That way we can beleive what we are able to read with some certainty. I did find other non-related site suggesting 720mhz for the cpu, but they are only a 3rd party mobile news site, that said it had been suggested that it was capable of 720Mhz..
But i do firmly believe with efficient code the phones can perform extremely well, Anna certainly seems faster than the old Symbian ^3 version that was on the phone prior to Anna, whether or not Belle can be made any more efficient remains to be seen. But heres hoping.
