Temp Check

[BigDaddyKong]

Here is my 3770K at 4.5ghz. I have my RAD fans only running 1200 RPM.

That is my highest temps, I had to pause for a screen shot, but caught the wrong window. I had to restart it just seconds later to get the whole desktop. The downside is with my chip, any more voltage and my temps sky rocket.

What do you think?

I don't personally own an Ivy (or intel for that matter) but I have read and know that you really don't want to be going over 75C temp wise and about 1.35V so that puts you safely under with headroom for varying external conditions . As for the clock it seems pretty average edging into the good!

Hope this helps

Those temps are good, especially for a 1GHz increase in speed and the voltages are low enough also so as not to increase the thermals of the CPU to dangerous levels.

Yup absolutely fine mate! Looks like a good and sensible OC

For games and other applications, my voltage only goes to 1.238-1.243. The best part, my temps only run 40C loaded outside of stress test. I can pass 24 hour runs of Prime and IBT at 1.22 volts, but for some reason BF4 gives me WHEA errors on anything less than this setting. Everything else is no problem.

I would like to turn my fans down lower, but I have two 7970 Windforce cards dumping heat inside my case. I need at least 1200RPM on my fans to keep my xfire setup under 70C.

I would like to delid later just for S&G's to really pound on the chip to see what it can do. But I will wait for at least two more generations of chips launch in case I kill it. I want to make sure there is worthwhile performance upgrade out that I can go to.

Do it do it! Yea that's why I went watercooling with my dual cards. Goodbye heat issues.

Yeah, same settings on an H100i would get me 80+C on my temps. I don't think I will ever be able to go back to air cooling. Add in my Aquaero fan controller, and there is just nothing like it.

It's the only thing I have found that is more entertaining that watching a monkey diddling a football while wearing mittens.
