4770k @ 4.2 GHz - Vcore?
4770k @ 4.2 GHz - Vcore?
Hello everyone
I just began overclocking my new i7 CPU to boost performance. It looks like I reached a stable setting at 4.2 GHz with a voltage of 1.35v, and the maximum core temperature reached 82 degrees Celsius in Prime95 Small FTTs after only 20 minutes. After running Intel Burn Test (10 tests), I achieved up to 90°C.
😵
My current CPU is overheating significantly more than my old 3570k at 4.4 GHz, even with the same system setup. This raises my question/discussion...
What should I adjust my voltage at 4.2 GHz for this CPU? Is my Vcore appropriate or could it be too high or too low?
Thanks.
You're doing great.
To achieve lower temperatures, you'll need a higher-quality cooler (such as a noctua for air or an EK Predator for liquid AiO).
As discussed earlier, the synthetic load doesn't accurately reflect real conditions.
In everyday use, your temperatures should typically stay below 70°C.
Maximum temperature isn't critical since spikes can occur.
Pay attention to the graphs where temperatures stabilize; Aida64 is helpful for this purpose.
Have you turned off the VCORE in auto mode? If yes, change it to manual and check how far you can go before the PC starts to fail. IBT is really tough, but the temp is still way too high.
