the max of my i5?

[Permafrost]

hi guy just a quick one here
is this the max overclock i can get on my i5 3570k @ 4.5 on a Noctua NH-D14?
as it didn't let me upload a pic

core1: 67
core2: 75
core3: 77
core4: 69

Every chip is different.

72c is the max temp you should be hitting, and you are aleady very close, i would call that maxed...

ok thanks mate just wanted a second opinion!

note to self 72 is the max

Nah - max for Ivy is 105 according to Intel.
Not saying you should go near that at all - but below that it's more subjective as to what temps the user is comfortable with.

I'm happy with mine to max at 85ish.
But on my chip, I have to increase voltage by a lot to get from 4.5-4.6ghz, so it isn't really worth the extra 15 degrees for me for a mere 100mhz gain.

But as said, every chip is different. If you can push 4.6ghz without going above 85ish, then I'd be happy with that - I wouldn't say it's ever going to do any harm at that.

What volts are you using for 4.5ghz btw?

i think i got 1.296 to 1.320
as i don't have gpu yet i'm overclocking just to see what i can get, also i'm very new to overclocking

 

[jamesriley94]

Are you doing it in the BIOS? Or through software?

Have you just raised the multiplier, or other things too?

in the bios
multiplier set to 45
voltage it to offset mode +0.100

 

[jamesriley94]

Try with manual rather that offset.
I needed almost 0.05v more on offset than I did on manual in order to keep stability.

If you can bring that down, you should be able to bring down your temps a fair bit.

Can you also list your specs please

 

[Permafrost]

ok i'll give it a try

also
CPU: i5-3570k
CPU Cooler: NH-D14
SSD: ocz agility 3 60gb
MOBO: asrock Z68 extreme 4
RAM: 8gb (4gb X 2) PNY XLR8 1866mhz
HDD: 1tb and 320gb
PSU: XFX 850w
CASE: nzxt switch 810

Often if you turn off Speedstep and any turbos but leave on C1E you can get the best of both performance and energy saving at the same time

 

[Permafrost]

C1E?

ok i'll turn off the speedstep and turbos

 

[Master&Puppet]

Yea it is usually in the advanced CPU settings or power saving settings (depends on your board).
