Semi-Noob here. I used to overclock P4 with FSB .. New way is semi-easier.
But so many posts about i5 3570K each one stating something different.
Some people say not to use prime95 but then i read more and it seems only asus mobos. So is my asrock z77 extreme4 safe to use prime still?
Other posts say that prime doesn't use all the processor and that its not enough or that its bad for the chip.
So ive been getting WHEA errors a lot. Ive been upping the volts and i now am error free. But my volts seem semi-high .. some people say 1.4 is deadly. others say its ok to go just under.
I am currently at 1.328 max 1.320 is what it says most of the time.
Core temp readings of 85C max but only for a second and normally its no higher than 80C
I will do IBT next, ushally higher.
I was stable but with WHEA errors which i guess really means im not stable. From what i read it means that the process had an error, was fixable by running it again, and doesnt crash prime.
Should i be ok with those temps / volts?
