Is 1.048 a good voltage? Would I be able to manually lower it? I just used my Asus motherboard's auto enhancing feature and it put my CPU at a multiplier of 41 and the clock thingamajig (I forgot what its called) at 103.2. I ran prime95 for 30 minutes and had a max of 70-72-72-64*. Does anyone think I have a good overclocking chip? If I can push this CPU more, I would be happy to manually do it, but I don't know that I should. Anyway, if anyone has any idea, please reply!

*I have a corsair H80i

(Make sure it is 1.048, not 1.48, that is DANGER!)

This is a golden chip. Many use 1.2vcore for that. I imagine with custom watercooling, a great mobo, powerful PSU, custom overclock and no fear you could push into 4.8-5Ghz

Pro tip: Try resetting BCLK (clock thingy) to stock or 100, and voltage to 1.1 and set the multiplier custom. If you get an aftermarket cooler I would push 1.2vcore, custom water I would 1.3.
Good luck with the chip!

EDIT: I see you have an h80. Do you have it in push/pull? You should be getting lower temps. With that cooler I would go 1.15/1.2 and set the multi from there. I think load should be more like 65c.

hmm, did you manually adjust your voltage? the average ivy bridge (3rd gen) intel CPU will do 4.2GHz without touching the voltage.

i wouldn't say it's good or bad as a overclock of 4.2GHz is very slight and is too early to tell.

also, your core temps look quite high for such a low voltage. since you're using a H80i as well, those temps make me want to believe the H80i was installed too tightly. however, it could also be defective (mine was defective out of the box).

This was my first build and installing the cooler was very hard. I got some of the pre-installed thermal paste on the cpu many times because I messed up installing as the instructions were terrible.


To this, it came with 2 fans so yes it is push/pull and yes I did mess up on installing and I dont have any thermal paste. I'll just go to radio shack and get some ac5 and reinstall the cooler. Also, any other tips on the overclock?

You don't want to use extra voltage when you don't need it. You should set everything back to defaults and only up the turbo multiplier by one each time until you receive a BSOD or any other signs of instability such as games or programs crashing.

When you find the speed that the CPU is unstable at, you can raise your by one step and see if that clears up the issue. If it did you raise your multiplier by one again. if it didn't then you raise the voltage by one step again.

Pretty much a rinse and repeat process. However once you start taking the CPU above 4.3 or 4.4, you'll need to use some kind of stress test to double check that the CPU is still stable when it's under 100% load
