3570K Overclocking @ 4.4GhZ are these volts right?

HKSDESIGNS · Jul 6, 2013

so i got myself a H80i and installed it , on stock speeds its worked amazing max temps on prime95 after 2 hour stress testing was 47c. So ive decided to OC obviously, i have it running at 4.4GHz @ 1.95v and its stable max temp after an hour of prime 95 are 62c , am just wondering why CPUz is saying that the voltage is staying around 1.160 when i have it fixed to 1.195 in my bios settings is this normal? and are them temps in combination with them volts good to go for everyday use? its my first time OC a cpu so its all new to me.

When you get a new CPU you have a chance of getting a good chip that over clocks well and one that won't do as well I've seen 5.1 at 1.2 volts because they got a good chip each chip is different, before you started over clocking did you find out the lowest vcore it would run at?

Motherboards sometimes misreport voltages, or what you set is the voltage coming out of the VRM, but resistance is reducing it.

1.2V is pretty good. You could probably try taking it to 4.5GHz.

Someone Somewhere :

so should i try talking it to 4.5GHz on the same voltage ? and run prime95?

What method are you using to OC?

BIOS? How did you get to that voltage?

Novuake :

sorry throught the UEFI bios and my boards an Asrock

am a noob excuse my lack of knowledge!

OK let me start by asking you your FULL system specs.

And leave you with this previous thread with a guide.

Overclocking is a process, it takes patience. If you have a Z77 mobo and a decent power supply and cooler, then its easy enough.

This seems to be stable! http://www.flickr.com/photos/caolan-byrne/9222026563/ would that be a good overclock at that voltage?

HKSDESIGNS :

With those super low temps i would keep pushing it.

Yeah, you can go much more it seems. You have a decent chip there.

HKSDESIGNS · Jul 6, 2013

Novuake :

pushed it to 4.5GHz at v1.21 and been stress testing for 2 hours and no errors so far i think 4.5 is my chips sweet spot , temps havent gone beyond 71c too pretty happy with that!

ADDED.

The GFlops look so low. Wait just noticed its a 3570K.

HKSDESIGNS · Jul 6, 2013

Nice very nice indeed.
