Hi All,
I recently purchased a motherboard bundle from overclockers, it was an MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard with the processor stated in the title. It was overclocked by them to 4.3GHZ but was unstable and kept crashing. I have done some tweaks and have managed to get a stable clock at 1.29 core voltage. Under load in Prime95 i never get temps above 60 celsius! (Using an Alpenfohn K2 mount doom cooler, not watercooling)
From reading the forums it would appear that 1.29v is rather higher for that level of overclock. I've seen most people posting results of about 1.21-1.25v. And i've also noticed that at 60 celsius @ 1.29v my temps are rather lower, considering im not using a watercooler.
Am i going wrong somewhere, or do i have a bad chip? and is it safe to be playing crysis 3? (usually when temps of around 56 celsius when gaming)
Any advice i would be grateful of!
Thanks,
Scott
