I just recently got an H100i for my 3570k. I had lots of trouble mounting the water block correctly to get good temps. It seems I have finally got it right and now I'm getting acceptable temps. Now I would like to compare with some of you with the same overclock. I use prime95 to get my temps and I have a couple different voltages and overclocks I use.

at 4.5Ghz and 1.300v during prime95 I get 68c MAX temp on the hottest core.

at 4.8Ghz with 1.430vcore during prime95 I get 79c MAX temp on the hottest core

When figuring out temps I always use MAX temp on the hottest core for my temp. Not averages.

Can some of you with the same set up let me know if I'm getting good temps for have a 240mm water cooled system?

They SEEM pretty good to me. They are definitely better than my old Scythe Ninja 3 by 7-8c. But for some reason I was expecting it to be a little better. So correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd appreciate if one of you could run your CPU at one of those overclocks to let me know exactly what your MAX temp on the hottest core is.

Sure, some i7 3770Ks can be OC'd to 4.8 GHz at 1.3V, but not all. Not every piece of silicon is created equal.

As for OP, what others achieve with the same processor means nothing. The only thing you can do is find the lowest voltage to run a frequency stable.

Show me one 3770k that can overclock to 4.8Ghz with 1.300v and I'll show you a 3770k that's not stable. Your obviously not an overclocker so what are you doing on this thread?

Everyone that answered me so far obviously doesn't have an H100i. Is there anyone with some relevance to the conversation out there? Because the guy who replyed 1st doesn't even know how to overclock and the guy who replied second is trying to tell me what voltage MY cpu needs to be at.

Anyone with an H100i?

Is there any reason you have to be a jackass? I never told you what voltage your CPU needs to be. I was actually telling the guy that told you to set the vcore to 1.3 at 4.8 GHz that he was full of shit.

What I was trying to say, is that people will be using different voltages at different frequencies, even with the same cooler, so their temps will be different from yours, and difficult to compare, not to mention ambient temps. Got an algorithm/logarithm for all that?

I was also trying to say that the temps are what they are. Using the same cooler, assuming everything is mounted correctly, you can't do much to drop temps except lower vcore. (I was saying that because you said, "But for some reason I was expecting it to be a little better.") Is 1.43 the lowest vcore you can achieve stability at 4.8 GHz with?

And I forgot to include this earlier, because I was tired: from what I've seen with the H100i, 4.8 GHz with 1.43V hitting 79C on the hottest core is good.
