Hello,

I don't have a massive amount of experience when it comes to OC'ing, so I wanted to keep it "safe" and use the "CPU Level up" option in my motherboards ASUS IV HERO -BIOS. I chose the option for 4.2. I have the Phanteks- PH-TC14PE, so I know I'm getting proper cooling.

Now I posted some pics if you guys could enlighten me if I overvolted anything and if my CPU's core temps are a little high during stress tests such as the "torture test" from Prime95.

My idle temps are 28c-30c.

When I stress the CPU for about 20 min my temperatures average 68c-70c, which seems a tiny bit high for only 4.2??

Here are some pics for more details, please elaborate with any concerns.

Thanks

I would be surprised at seeing any realistic temperatures from people running 4.5Ghz - 4.8Ghz assuming that is a 24/7 overclock under load. Quite a rare event indeed, and almost assuredly custom water loops. My chip will run 4.5Ghz, but it hits 100C on full load, and that just isn't a good idea. (I don't test under gaming conditions, usually AIDA64 with everything on full blast, including my GPUs) Haven't had a blue screen since when I was tuning it back in June, so I think my 4.3Ghz overclock has worked out well.

I don't know about noob guides, that is more or less what the AI Tuner is for. Here is the one I used, have t read between the stuff about extreme overclocking, but it is full of good information...

I'm aware they run hot I'm just comparing my results to other people running 4.5-4.8 and getting the same core temps as me running @ 4.2.

I'm convinced the cpu level up option is a bad idea but I dont feel cumfurtable manually doing anything yet. Would anybody know a good noob guide for overclocking?

Thanks

Three basic things I learned are the CPU Input Voltage, Core Voltage, and LLC.

Raise the Input voltage to 1.8 or so, 1.9 if you are aiming for 4.5Ghz. Core 1.25 for 4.1-4.2, 1.3 for 4.3-4.4, 1.3+ for 4.5Ghz (all varies on your specific chip, mine is about average) I found a single bump up on the LLC to be sufficient, more may be needed for the higher overclocks.
