i5 3570k overclock

[Pantinate]

Hey guys,

I have just overclocked my cpu (i5 3570k) to 4.4ghz and was wondering if you guys think it is stable.

In my opinion it is abnormally low (temps. wise) for my cooler:

temp(max): 64C
voltages: 1.112v

Do these match up right? It has been running prime95 for quite a while now and seems to be stable (crashed earlier about an hour in, so I raised the offset voltage in BIOS up by .01, now seems stable after about 1.75 hours in)

Thanks

Keep running Prime 95. If it crashes AT ALL, it is not stable. I would suggest running prime for at least half a day to ensure it is about stable.

If you're worried about temps, trying downloading something like Core Temp to make sure that it is the correct temperature through comparisons to your usual temp readout.

You should also try running some synthetics that have CPU utilization tests to make sure everything is up to snuff.

Good luck

IF it seems completely fine then run prime 95 for at least 12 hours, then maybe intel burn test for 12 hours. Each program will give different results. If you need more help TTL posted a 1155 OC guide, i highly recommend watching it.

Im not really concerned with my temps im just reall surprised that im getting that low of temps. Ive seen videos of the same ocs and even when the people were using quality liquid coolers (h100/100i) they were getting much higher temps (77-80C).

I guess i got lucky in the silicon lottery haha?


And when i get a free day ill leave it running. I dont feel comfortable with running it while i am at school.


Thanks

im not concerned over the temp so much, as the voltage to multi.
the temp is general, alot of the appz dont read them as 100%. my ASUS reads
10°-12° lower in BIOS than OCCT/RealTemp/HWMonitor under load. so its really
a generalization, or close guess.

but that is a good voltage to multi setting. offset voltage vs fixed can offer better
solution for achiving an overclock. master & puppet has a long overclocking guide
about offset settings.

Hello again guys.

I attached a screenshot of my stress test. It has been running stable at about 1.1 volts at 4.4 ghz for about 2 hours. Im gonna keep on running it but how long would you recommend?

thanks

uhh lol didn't realize it was going to be that small.

Try to upload it to imgur and then post it here.
To see if the system is stable stress it for 24hrs continuously, at least. Some people go for 48hrs just to make sure.

Its not that big of a deal it just shows the volts, temps, clocks, and prime95

update/
prime95 has been going on for about 8 hrs. now. everything is running smoothly at about 1.1 volts and 62-3C. ill probably let it run overnight and then ill be in the clear, right?

After that it should be dandy, unless you want to do some other tests
Have fun

synthetics are great for a quick test, but for through testing real-world app can
usually find a command or floating point calc that can not be reproduced like in
real-world usage.
i found a stable OCCT/IBT/prime95 OC was weak using adobe, or a browser with
a YT video loading or playing.

to check if windows is stable
open the event viewer and check foe WHEA errors. run IBT on high for 20 cycles, restart and if now WHEA errors then run prime95 for 18 hours on small FFT's or blend for 18-24 hours, you can still use the computer just make sure you leave p95 running.

then once you have no WhEA's and 18 hours prime, then your stable.
