Hi. I just installed my i5-3570k yesterday and I began overclocking it today. I have the hyper 212 evo pushing towards my 200mm exhaust fan in an antec 900 case.
I got it to 4.3 ghz at +.02v and just now got it to 4.4 ghz at +.06v. In cpuz this reads as 1.31v at idle and drops to 1.25ish volts and 80C max when I run intel burn test.
Ive heard 1.3v is a good limit for 24/7 OC(which this will be) but is that for idle levels or for when its under load. Also whats a good voltage limit for when I just push it one day to see how fast I can take it?
Also, Im gonna start overclocking my ram. Its DDR-3 1866mhz ram. What can I expect performance wise if I leave the voltage the same?
Thanks
