Hello all.

Old OC Settings:
4.3GHz (with Turbo Boost enabled)
Voltage: Auto (OCCT Max. Vcore 1.3V)
LLC: 1.650
amp/watt setting: 250 (I dont recall their name)

New Settings:
4.3GHz (Turbo Boost Disabled)
Voltage: 1.23 (OCCT Max. Vcore 1.25V)
LLC: Auto
Load Line Calibration: High
amp/watt setting: 250

Now I did the "CPU:LINKPACK"-test in OCCT for 30mins without crash. Max. temp. was 66/72/70/66C.

My question is why im getting a 70C temp. on a 1.23V OC (that peaked 1.25V at some point during the test, but wasnt stuck on it). When I ran with voltage set to auto I would hit about 70-75C during an IntelBurnTest, and that was at 1.27-1.3V.

Sometimes the temps would lurk at 50-60C, sometimes 45ish... And then sometimes jump to 65-70C. Does it depend what OCCT is doing to test the CPU? I just figured now that I moved to a set voltage rather than auto I would get much lower temps. Oh, and another thing - I disabled Turbo Boost, but its still downclocking/upclocking all the time, whats up with that?

My CPU cooler is a Corsair H100i with 4 Noctua fans. Im idling at 25-30C, but I did that too with voltage set to Auto.

Agree, what cpu and setup?

But..

It doesn't sound too far off to me, you had higher temps about 5c when set to auto at 1.3v, you dropped that when you went to 1.25v max granted, not by a lot. Was the test done back to back (right after you made the change?) If not your ambient temp's may have been different allowing for more discrepancy between the two OC temps. Still they don't seem far apart from the voltage differences. Also, are you in manual, offset or adaptive mode? a static voltage can cause you to run warmer since you never drop voltage at idle allowing it to cool.
