Is an overclock on a 3570K of 4.3GHz good?

kassuba39 · Jan 15, 2015

I just recently got a new cooler, the CM Hyper T4 and I decided to OC my 3570K. Right now, it is a stable OC and I seem to getting very good temps.

Temps while running Prime 95:
Core #0 - 49C
Core #1 - 54C
Core #2 - 53C
Core #3 - 50C
Package - 58C

Would it be worth it to push it further? I tried 4.4GHz using the same +0.005v and it crashed. I'm surprised I got it this far with my cooler as it was only $20. In terms of video rendering times and gaming (Arma 3), will I notice anything much more if I shoot for 4.4 or 4.5GHz? I seem to be getting real good temperatures right now but I'm not sure how far I should push it. Any input here would be very helpful.

I've been using this well put together guide. The thermal paste I am using is Arctic Silver Ceramique Premium High Density.

just because a cooler is cheap doesn't mean it's good. A perfect example of this is the CM hyper 212 EVO which is around $30 and it's a very good cooler.

Sure push for 4.4 or 4.5ghz.

what is your vcore and overclock now?

TechyInAZ :

My OC right now is 4.3Ghz stable and my vcore is +.0005V.

4.3 GHz, voltage offset of +0.0005, and core temperatures no more than 54° C is a good result so far.

Although the i5-3570K is rated at 105° C before throttling occurs, the CPU core temperatures should not exceed about 80° C (allowance for safety margin made).

As long as the core temperature is kept under control then there is room for higher overclocking here.

Currently my i5-3570K is only moderately overclocked @ 4.0 GHz with +0.005 V offset voltage applied.

Thanks for the reply. Would it be worth it to push it any further or should I keep it where it's at?

Why not? Try pushing it until you find a wall. Watch your temps though...

So would I start by gradually upping my vcore?

Yes. Rise your vcore then do some testing. If it fails do it again until you fnd it stable. If cpu requires too much voltage for next multiplier then its not worth it. Again, watch your temps...
