Hello,
Well i'm new on the overclocking world and i just oc my processor i5 3570K to 4.2GHz using two method, seting a fixed volt to 1.10v. it worked stable during 24 hours prime95 stress test.
I wanted to go a step ahead and use the offset method on the bios to save some power when is not needed, but when i checked volts i was a little surprised, at full load at 4.2Ghz i got 1.096v and i think is fine becouse is near the fixed volt i set before as fixed. The problem is the IDLE volt, it was as low as 0.768v.
I ran prime64 stress test too and was stable for 6 hours and no error or BSOD.
Could someone tell me if this voltage(0.768v) is normal and safe?
