Hello,
I know that this has been discussed several times, but since not every chip is the same i decided to ask, rather than create errors on my side.
I bought a new system about 7 months back. and now I'm fairly interested in OCing my i5-3570k.
My other components are:
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
Corsair Vengance 2x4GB 1.5V 1600MHz
CM Hyper 212 Evo
ASUS HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2
Energon 650W PSU (I'm thinking about buying a new modular one from corsair in the near future)
And my Case is a NoX Moonlight Mid Tower (Small But fine for the moment, i plan on a fulltower in the future)
Well I'm looking for some advice on how to find the most stable option for 4.2-4.3GHz OC, I don't want to go much higher.
To explain what i did so far:
I started off finding the most stable min V core at stock Multiplier, meaning:
3400MHz @ 0.880V - Anything lower and it crashes (All other settings at stock)
Ambient room temperature was about 27 Degrees, and inside the case, on full load it didn't go higher than 30 Degrees.
Of course Tested 10 Minutes with Prime95 on max Heat, like every other test i will do.
After that I went to the BIOS and started off with an offset value of -0.010V and a multiplier of 42 = 4200MHz.
Now at these settings i had Temps Min: 27d and max: 81d -hottest core (and that was at the 400k test. And I bet the 128k test would have gotten over that.)
Now these temps might be because of the cheap White thermal paste i use. Which I'm going to trade in for Zalmans STG2.
So i continued on with -0.005V offset decreases. And each time with 10 Minute Prime tests, till i came to the -0.065 offset this morning. With temps at Min: 27d and max: 79d at the 128k test of prime.
I'm hoping that the STG2 thermal paste will do a much better job. So I'm going to test that later today.
That is pretty much it what i've done so far. So i wonder is it good or can i go even lower?
For now its been testing with prime for 4 hours, on -0.065 offset without problems with a steady Vcore voltage of 1.160.
Thanks for the help.
