I am facing issues with temperature while playing BF3. I found that one reason was Turbo core, it was causing high voltage and high clock resulting in high temp. So I played a bit with the VCore.
VCore: 1.2875, Clock: 4GHz, Prime95 Blend Test for 10 minutes = Pass
VCore: 1.25, Clock: 4GHZ, Prime95 = Fails (Windows gives error: Your PC ran into a problem).
Question: Should I stay at 1.25 or 1.2875? The reason I'm asking this is that at 1.25 everything works fine except the P95 test. I play BF3, it doesn't give any issue, I do development using VMware etc and all works fine, actually BF3 is the only high load activity I do on my system.
PS: I'm not overclocking, just trying to stay at stock but dropping voltage to deal with heat issues, until I figure out my heat problem (which will be solved by a better cooler I think, my current cooler is cheap, or maybe there's some other reason for this, which I'm trying to find out in another thread which I linked at the top of this thread).
