Cracked OS issues

[→Speed←]

First of all I know that some Cracked OS's are different than others even if they are the same brand for example, "Windows 7". I have one issue thats been bugging the heck out of me but I do not have proof that it is because of my Cracked Windows 7 64bit. When I try to Overclock(OC) my CPU(i2600k(k means the multipliers are unlocked)) past 4.4Ghz(more specifically to 4.5 or 4.6ghz) once it gets to the desktop it automatically Blue Screens(Blue Screen of Death otherwise known as BSOD and wont create a dump or restart on its own).. When I try to OC it to 4.7 or 4.8 it only gets to the windows 7 animated logo then half way through the 4 colors coming together, it restarts(which means it Blue Screened but skipped the Blue Screen and went straight to restarting..) I know for a fact that this is not a problem with my i2600k model or my cooler(Corsair H100 water cooler) because when at 4.4Ghz my CPU idles at 24-27C and on max load it is at 42-54C as shown in a video im going to add here after putting in Rikuo's thread..

That being said, do any of the Cracked OS users here at Kam have any issues that wouldn't happen with a, "paid for" version of your OS? If yes, what is the proof that it would be better with "paid for" OS?

Hey Speed,

Before I state my experience, have you tried increasing voltages proportionally to certain components (Vcore, etc) to see if you're system becomes stable and doesn't BSOD at desktop or worse.

I have an i7 920 (Budget chip) and when I would increase HCLK (host clock) multiplier, I would need to increase my vcore, uncore, and/or IOH depending on the BSOD error.

For cracked OS to be an issue vs legit OS for OC'ing, seems kind of out there however still very possible

Get at me

Problems resulting from overclocking have nothing to do with the status of your operating system. It's a hardware/BIOS issue that is separate from pretty much everything else OS related.

Ah.. Thanks you two! vcxz I've only been using the multipliers.. how do I figure out the numbers for what to manually set my Vcore to? Also is there any other specific voltages I need to change the numbers to besides just Vcore?

I won't be able to help in regard to how to set voltages because I don't own a i7 2600k myself. I know there are differences on what is exactly on the i7 2600k vs. what's on the previous gen (my i7 920) so the best thing to do would be to do research on OC'ing the i7 2600k.

You have to look at the data sheet of the i7 2600k to see what are acceptable levels for voltages on certain components (E.g. CPU core, North Bridge, etc).

For example for the i7 920 max ratings

Vcore = 1.375V

Uncore = 1.35V

IOH = 1.275V

Memory = 1.65V

If any of these components is not high enough for a certain multiplier I want, I get an unstable system that does what you said at the start of the thread. If I were to set a Vcore greater than 1.375V, over time my processor is going to break down based on Intel's warnings.

I guess since Rikuo is also getting an i7 2600k for his new build and maybe OC'ing, he would be best to ask too

Best of luck!

Well im not new to building computers or OCing... I just don't know much about, "using voltages for overclocking". I have no idea what datasheet you are refering to either lol.

Haha, you don't have to use datasheets. When people talk about OC'ing their i7 2600K, they might mention their voltages too. Just be careful though

[→Speed←]

well i just would like to know the max stable/safe voltages to use and what their names are for example: Vcore being one of the names..

If you don't know much about these things then you need to hit up your local search engine and do some serious research on the topic. Incorrect overclocking can straight up destroy your processor, so it's not something you should just causally jump into.

My advice: Don't attempt another overclock until you understand how voltages and other whatnots tie into overclocking. A burned out processor just isn't worth it.

Agreed, people on the overclocking forums have detailed tutorials on how to overclock. I actually followed a tutorial and have no problem OCing my CPU to 3.8Ghz, dropped it down to 3.33Ghz since my DDR3 1333Mhz RAM wasn't keeping up and didn't have time to overclock, and test for faults. I believe you might need RAM faster than 1600Mhz for 4.0Ghz and above. Oh I use an Intel i7 920, still a pretty darn sweet CPU.
