4.4ghz with 1.2v on 3570k any good?

Hi peeps

First time overclocking with ivy, and I've happily achieved a 1ghz overclock with my 212+ and 1300rpm scythe gt stable.

I was just wondering if those specs were considered decent in the silicone department, because some people get overclocking god chips and some don't.

What sort of category would this one fit into?

Btw. I was able to get 4.5 with 1.24v but the temps went a little over 85c so i called it safe at 4.4 :)
 
A little on the high side of average, from what I know, but still perfectly acceptable and a very good clock to settle with.
If I may, what are your temps like with these settings, and what software did you use to stress test?
 
I used Prime95 with small fft for around 5 or so hours. stayed around 80ish majority of the time with a short peak at 85, my ambient being around 20c
 
I'd say that you're on the edge of what your 212+ can do. The temps are a little high for me, but they're unlikely to ever get that high with anything other than stress tests.

Still, i'm impressed that the 212 has done so well - very good little cooler :)
 
Gawd... I'm running 3570K 4,5Ghz @ 1.328V according to the CPU-Z. There's still something to take in consideration: I haven't yet felt like spending couple of days working with 100% stable OC, so I just quick tuned all the settings without super tweaking and 10 hour Prime95 testing. Now it's guaranteed to be stable, even though I'm going to tune those voltages a bit in couple of weeks or so
 
yep save those pennies for a d14, leaps and bounds better than the 212, just watch the height of your ram when you do get one.
 
Yeah, you should lower them a bit untill it's starting to get unstable and then raise it to tha last stable clock. Hopefully you will go below 1.3V.
 
So far so good, been running it stable using + Offset of 0.040V giving me a total of 1.240V under load. Still trying to get it down a couple of notches, maybe something like 1.20-1.22V, but we'll see if it stays stable :)
 
At the moment I'm not planning on pushing it further because it won't give me any actual benefit. Now I'm focused on tweaking BIOS settings to get the best possible voltage/temp ratio.

EDIT: At last it seems like a stable OC using 1.24V @ 4,5Ghz with the hottest core reaching 69c as a peak. Tested with Prime95 Blend preset settings with custom memory amount of 12Gb.

WOW, you reaching 4.5Ghz on 1.240V !? My chip must be bad! :( I had to go up to 1.288V with only 4.4 for a somewhat stable(No errors but no long testing).

Think my sweetspot is 4.3Ghz as i can be down in the 1.1xxV(not totally done tweaking) and have nice low temps aswel. Atleast, the amount of heat and extra Voltage to reach 4.4 is not worth it on my chip.
