thanks for tutorials..
1. so basically i should put like this ?



2. but my plan is put on x50, everyhing else same on picture ?!


3. and maybe vcore on 1.4 V ?
4. im confused about CPU PLL , i saw diferent values on screenshots, so there are many levels ? i know what it is but what should i put there ?
5. and, all other values leave on auto ?

Hi there,

you may struggle to get to X50 and you may find it better to settle for something a little lower when it comes to running your system 24/7.

To get X50 on my own system I found that I had to raise the CPU voltage to 1.475V - 1.485V, LLC to level 6 and I lowered the CPU PLL to 1.750V. This was stable but the temps were up into the high 50's C when I really stressed the CPU and that is now with a water cooled chip so I would expect yours to be higher on air. Mine reached the mid 70's C when I pushed it with the Noctua NH-D14 Air cooler but I was able to get to X52.

You might like to look through this thread: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,8039.0.html as it may help.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Ya, 50 is a bit high to start with maybe, until you get going at 4.5-4.8 and see how temps and stability is for you.   And what I do is set the main one, and leave turbo enabled and set each core to the same value as the main one

CPU Thermal monitor should be enabled!  CPU PLL is fine at stock, or below 1.3-1.75 is often better than stock.

cool, ill start with 4.5 GHz
do i need to run tests with specific application, or just turn on game ,wait hour,2 and check temperatures whole time ?
and, what is optimal temperature 24-7 at full load, 60 C ?

You should run stability tests and watch temps while they run, such as Prime95, OCCT, LinX, ect

You want to keep load temps under 70-75C if you can, ideally less of course, but if you want to push high frequencies you're going to be seeing 7x-80+ possibly.  Once you start hitting 80C while load testing that's too hot, so you'll need to back off the voltage or frequency, or both, then try again a different way.

For 4.5Ghz, ya under or around 60C load should be doable if you have a good cooler, might get 65C or so depending on the voltages you use
