I'm having a bit of trouble overclocking my i5-3570k beyond 4.3ghz.
My heatsink is a Hyper 212 Evo and I used Arctic MX4 thermal compound.
My temps at idle are around 20-30 degrees Celsius. With Prime 95 running small FFT, these temps jump to-
HWMonitor - 65 76 76 69 @ 1.276V
RealTemp - 65 76 76 69 (the same! although there is some variation).
However, when I apply a 4.4ghz overclock, within seconds all four cores are above 80 degrees with cores 2 and 3 hitting 95 degrees+. I stop the small FFT test immediately and the temps settle.
I just changed my CPU cooler from a Arctic v7 to a Hyper 212 evo. My temps are around 4-6 degrees cooler on the Hyper 212 evo at load. However, I was experiencing the same sudden jump in temperatures with the Arctic v7 (except around 4-6 degrees higher, reflecting the better cooler).
Can you guys shed any light on this? Is 4.3ghz the natural limit of my chip?
