I5-3570k 4.2ghz voltages?

[Hmb556]

So I just overclocked my i5-3570k to 4.2Ghz, and I set the voltage offset to -0.065. In Prime95 right now the voltage is switching between 1.112V and 1.120V, do these numbers look ok? Also, the temperature has leveled out at around 59°C but I've only been running it for about half an hour now. I set the load line calibration(I think that's what it's called) to level 4.

Volts and temp look fine. I can't comment about LLC though.

Ok cool. Still running Prime95, after 8 hours it's not crashed yet and max temps went up a little to 63°.

Under 75*C. is excellent.

I'm guessing that Prime95 won't finish until tomorrow, when it does I'll try the Intel Burn Test set to maximum, see what temps I get.

You can expect higher temps on IBT.

Yea, tested it yesterday with 4.0 overclock and it got into the upper 70's I think

Still very good and quite safe.

So apparently Windows Update thought it would be a good idea to restart my computer to install updates after I went to bed, so it didn't finish the last of 4 tests with Prime95. I think it's pretty stable, it made it through 13 hours with no crashes. Starting IBT now.

 

[Hmb556]

On standard setting in IBT, temps got to 66°C after 10 tests(finished fairly quickly) and voltage hit a max of 1.136V, on maximum it got through 9 of the 10 tests and on test 10 it said that Linpack binary stopped unexpectedly, does this mean it is unstable? Temps only got to 69°C on maximum

Yes, unfortunately, unstable. Add 0.015 v. to Vcore and try again.

Ok, I'll set the offset to -0.050V and try the IBT again.

I don't understand why you're using a negative offset. What MB do you have? What are the rest of your voltage settings?

[Hmb556]

My MB is and ASRock z77 extreme4. Everything else is on auto or enabled, except for power saving mode(disabled) and CPU load-line calibration(level 2). This time I only tested on maximum stress on IBT and it passed. Highest temp was 77°C and voltage stayed between 1.184V and 1.168V.

 

[Y0GI]

Very good.
