Hello TH - i need som help here. i recently bought a 7700k and is runs at almost 1.3v on stock and 4.5 - is that not too high?
Temps are:
idle: 25-50
Under load (games): 55-70 - mostly 60-65 ish.
under stress test: 80 max.

So is that to high temps? should i down the voltage? or maybe better, can i get a decent overclock on 1.3V? like without having to add more power to my vcore?
Thx in advance.
edit: here is my HWmonitor: http://imgur.com/a/Izufs

74c is about right

yes you can just move the multiplier up

should do 4.6ghz on that voltage

possibly 4.7ghz since your default voltage is higher than mine by a fair bit

dont forget prime95 puts much more stress on it than most real life use will so your temps should be a bit lower when you are just doing what you normally do

If you're already at 80c under 100% stress at stock, then you need to look for a different cooling solution. From the many articles I've read, 1.4v and below is fine for 24/7 operation as long as temps are staying at 80c or below.

what are you stress testing it with?

if its prime95 you shouldnt use a version after 26.6

as the avx instructions will give a higher temperature

Maybe since i have the nzxt h440 case - and the radiator in the top - wich takes heat from my gpu and has a hard time getting air out - chould that be why?
BTW can i increase clock ratio, without increasing any power?

you need to use version 26.6 of prime95--not the later ones think its at around 28.10 now

and run the small ffts test

You are right - max temp on stress test is now 74 - is that good or bad?
And is there then anyway i can overclock it with the current voltage?
