2500k Overclocking Advice (How much VCORE, is safe ?)

[jaytee95]

Hello there,

So i have posted a few threads regarding this topic, however it's seem my poor wording of questions lead to confusing answers. So here's my final thread on this topic.

RIG:

CPU: 2500K
GPU: GIGABYTE 7870
CASE: COOLERMASTER 690
PSU: COOLERMASTER GX 600W
RAM: CORSAIR 8 GB 1600Mhz
COOLER: COOLERMASTER 612S

I was wondering what sort of voltage i'd be able to get way with considering the following stock temps of my 2500k.

IDLE: 20c-30c (Ambient is unstable)
PRIME95: SMALL FFTS - 50c
GAMING: 42c
RENDERING:47c

Note: I'm not asking Intels' max specified vcore is ? But rather the vcore i should be able to get with 80- temps.

Thanks for reading, looking forward to your responses,

- Jack

Normally you want to stay below 1.45v
What temperature you will get only you can tell with you particular chip and setup
As all chips are unique so is there heat ouput. I kept mine 1.35v with vdrop and seen 88c max core @ 4.8GHz with Linx max memory full 20 run but you might see more temp or lower. Thanks
