Hello,
I have an i7-3770k and have had it clocked to 4.4Ghz (100FSB; 44 multiplier) for a long time. It only needed +0.040v offset to stabilize it.
I have for a long time been wanting to get the last few inches of performance out of the system and finish fine tuning it, but hadn't had the time. Today I thought I would have fun and finally get to it. So I played with higher multipliers, and the FSB, RAM, more voltages, and here is the end result I ended up with, which I am pretty sure is stable. CPU is, just doing memtest to check the RAM now.
CPU: 4.533Ghz (103FSB; 44 multiplier) Voltage offset +0.085v
RAM: 1854Mhz 10-10-10-28-2T 1.5v
I also increased PCH Voltage from 1.05v to 1.08v, and VCSSA voltage from 0.92500v to 0.95000v.
I know this isn't a big increase over my old OC, so I am kind of wondering if the gained performance is worth the voltage increase. I think the CPU in Openhardwaremonitor topped out at 1.224v, but I am not sure if that is the max. I was doing a stress test at the time, so it should be.
