New Oc any thoughts?

[Jeff]

this will be my second forum thread. first was about getting my rig together which i have finally built yeah! anywayse.
P8z77-v lk
corsair vengeance lp 8gb 1600mhz 9-9-9-24-1 1.35v(stock)
i5 3570k
Nh d-14
Gtx 560 se
Crutial m4 128 ssd
Seagate barracuda 1.5 tb s3
Corsair tx 650

I got my cpu to 4.4 but it was not 100% stable. i knocked it back to 4.3@1.200v and 60 degrees Celsius(50 delta) should i risk going higher or roll back even more then i have? (if anyone knows something i could do to break 4.4 without just cranking volts that would be epic) i did not touch pch or anything else not explained in toms 1155 video. would this maybe make 4.4 stable? 1 more thing i almost forgot. like clock work every 4 or 5 mins of running occ2 my voltage crashes then jumps right back up to normal. i got load line calibration on extreme so i'm not sure whats causing it. could it be occt it's self? 1 of my cores (#0) also displays as 1.5 degrees Celsius on occt but when i use speccy it shows the true temp. maybe occt just hates me sorry for all the noob questions. I am learning tho lol thanks in advance for feedback. I am running occt again presently and i'll post graphs if needed just let me know.

Hi.
Try using different testing methods. I use OCCT but only at the very end when I'm fine tuning. I like it because of the graphs it saves.

Download prime95 and intel burn test, these will stress the cpu by adding load.

To monitor what's going on I run open hardware monitor, CPU-Z and core temp.

I usually run IBT for 10 standard cycles to quick test if I'm near stable, P95 to test heat.

If your Vcore keeps dropping but your clock speed doesn't then it maybe some protection kicking in. Did you change the max wattage the cpu is allowed to draw?

Msi call it short duration power limit, check that and post screen shots of your bios

do you still have the turbo enabled or disabled?

Hi, why do you not want ot increase the voltages may i ask?
i would say the best thing to get to 4.4ghz and be stable is to increase the voltages, as temps would only be a problem if you are going to be running one 100% load for long periods of time or in a hot room.
