i5 3570k overclocking voltage

sto_ · Nov 5, 2014

was up toms hardware

i was wondering will my cpu be ok if the voltage jumps to 1.4v 1.5v while gaming and streaming but my temps stay below 67.4c all i did was change the multiplier to 44 and the voltage to auto and left everything alone

thanks for the help

my specs
cpu- i5 3570k @ 4.4ghz
gpu- gtx 660 sc @ 1149 mhz
motherboard- asus p8z77 v-lx
ram- 16gb corsair xms3 1333mhz
powersupply- corsair rm850
cpu and gpu both on custom water loop

The Voltage is a bit on the high side, set it down manually to 1.28V, if it is not stable, up it in increaments of 0.05V and get the least stable Voltage possible. 1.4V (and especially 1.5V) can shorten the lifespan of CPU.

shud i leave everything else alone then

DO NOT use auto, overclock manually and you will get a LOT better voltage results.

1.4v is too high.

Yes, just fiddle with the Voltage (or Vcore). Leave BLCK, ring ratio, etc on auto.

what is the absolute highest i can go right now im stable with a manual voltage of 1.328v

MeteorsRaining · Nov 5, 2014

sto_ :

That's safe. All good. You can go even higher than 1.5V w/o exploding your CPU right away, but it significantly decreases it's lifespan, so 1.35V is the highest I normally can recommend.

i uped the clock a lil im @ 4.5ghz 1.325v cpu temp is 59c 58c 59c 58c

MeteorsRaining · Nov 5, 2014

All good. Keep VCore under 1.35V and temps under 75C, and your CPU will live long, and OC as high as you can in those limits

MeteorsRaining :

how high do u think i can go with this cpu

MeteorsRaining · Nov 5, 2014

Temps not being an issue, 4.7 or even 4.8GHz looks do-able within 1.35V.

sto_ · Nov 5, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

so leave everything auto move multipliers to 47 or 48 manual change voltage to 1.325v? or 1.35v no higher

MeteorsRaining · Nov 5, 2014

Move up the multiple to 46 first, check if it's stable on current voltage, if it isn't, increase by 0.05V, and determine the lowest stable voltage for 4.6Ghz, then move up.

MeteorsRaining :

imma go do that now ill let u kno how it work thanks

sto_ · Nov 6, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

ive been stable now since yesterday no bluescreens and im at 4.6ghz @1.35v imma try tomorrow to go for 4.7ghz and 4.8ghz but im pretty happy where im at now my temps stay below 60c using 100% of the cpu

MeteorsRaining · Nov 6, 2014

I'm hopeful it can go further, but the real world benefits are next to none.

sto_ · Nov 6, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

me to ill keep yall posted about the progress

Novuake · Nov 6, 2014

I am at 4.7GHz with a voltage of 1.29v. LLC is not that tight though, so gets to just over 1.3v from time to time.

Novuake :

for some reason im getting bluescreens when i lower voltage

Age old saying, 'Every chip is different'.

Either you have a less ideal chip, or you are doing something wrong.

Any BIOS setting that causes variance needs to be controlled or disable.
Here is a useful guide on overclocking on Z77.

http://www.overclock.net/t/1333812/asrock-z77-extreme4-z77-extreme6-review

Confirm that all settings that could introduce uncontrolled variables are disabled or fixed to a certain amount.

DO NOT set your LLC to tight, it needs to have a little leeway, I have mine set to level 2, which is the second most strict, but LCC differs on every motherboard.

MeteorsRaining :

i bought the cpu 4/25/13 and ive used it for gaming alot everyday and i wudnt turn it off for months and i just started overclocking this chip that might b why

im using asus p8z77-v lx motherboard

Novuake :

Pardon me for butting in here novuake, but do you happen to know what the equivalent setting is on a Z77 MSI motherboard for LLC? You mention yours as having levels, whereas mine appears to list it in terms of percentages, ranging from 0 to 100. I do not know if 0 would be level one, and thus the tightest, or if level 100 is the tightest.

Novuake · Nov 6, 2014

The guide still applies, the settings should be similar on both Asus ans Asrock board.

Like I said, its not a step by step guide, because overclocking is not a step by step process that can be followed.

TEACH yourself, UNDERSTAND what you are doing and why, then eventually you know what to try and do.
Its a very time consuming and slow process if you are not used to it. But that is the ONLY way to get a decent overclocking under the safest possible conditions and least amount of risk.

We can give advice, but I can not tell you exactly how to, because each motherboard and CPU is different, even 2 3570K CPUs can overclocking completely differently with complete different voltages and temps.
