3750k overclock

[pipman2006]

I am looking at moderately over clocking my 3570k. I have a corsair H60 and a AsRock z77 extreme 4 motherboard. Does anyone have a profile? Or any suggestions at what i should safely overclock to?

What are you wanting to get to? You should be able to get to about 4.5ghz at 1.22/1.23volts

I'd try going to 4.1GHz on stock volts, and see if it's stable or not. For stability, download Intel Burn Test and run the 'maximum' stress level for 10 runs. Also use CPUID HWMonitor, or something equivalent, to check your temps during the stress test.

If it's all stable, you can begin to progress up the MHz-age and voltage.

Im gonna run mine at 4.8ghz 1.35V /H100 but you have a H60 would only go 4.4 max

 

[jamesriley94]

I'm gonna run mine at 4.8ghz 1.35V

Really? Can you really justify another 0.12 volts to get another 200mhz?

I see what you did with your i7 I might try that once, But I want a 24/7 clock of 4.8, I have a H100 and a airflow case

 

[Josh Weston]

Even with a H100, I fear your chip's going to get mighty hot. But maybe you have a blessed chip. Either way, best of luck!

 

[jamesriley94]

Fair enough. I may push higher at a later date, after exams and stuff. Just not now when the cpu is 2 days old.

Remember to turn turbo off btw! Otherwise it wont boot at all and you'll go through more and more volts to try and get it to unnecessarily.

i get my 3770k comfortably to 4.55Ghz using:

x44, blck 10350 (103.5) at 1.25v. it holds stable perfectly and heat is more than manageable (highest of 69 during a 24hr 100% FAH session)

so can't see the 3570k (which is basically the same, just a smaller igp) being too much different although the h60 may be a slight issue (unless you whack nf-f12's in push pull lol)

 

[jamesriley94]

I'm currently trying to down my voltages, and I'm currently running 4.5ghz at 1.185volts. So far passed 2 runs on max of IBT.

Pretty impressed with those so far.

Ivybridge is so easy to overclock until you get to the 4.6/4.7ghz mark at which point you need to put so many more volts through it, and therefore increase the heat massively, which I dont really think is worth it IMO. Far easier just to have the fans on 7v, or even maybe 5v if you can get away with it, and just sacrifice those extra 100/200mhz

 

[Josh Weston]

You got it down to under 1.2v? Jealous!

 

[jamesriley94]

Reached the limit, stable at 1.176v!

Not bad

 

[Josh Weston]

Reached the limit, stable at 1.176v!

Not bad

Not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Only wish my chip would go so low.

 

[giannakos23]

wow pretty low volts !!!

I guess you're a lottery winner !!

 

[jamesriley94]

How many IBTs do i need to count the OC as completely stable though?

I'm back up to 1.184 now, at 1.176 bad things happened haha. Ran the 20x test on maximum, and on the 19th I failed :/

 

[SieB]

How many IBTs do i need to count the OC as completely stable though?

As many as you can do with out it failing.

 

[jamesriley94]

Well 20 runs takes just over an hour so I'm classing that as stable

 

[Josh Weston]

Still jealous! I may have to see if I can lower mine at all tomorrow, but I doubt it

 

[jamesriley94]

Haha, good luck.

Is that really good for my chip then?

 

[Josh Weston]

Well, it trumps mine, I can tell you that much.
