Cpu Overclocking Temps + Vcore
Cpu Overclocking Temps + Vcore
Hello, I just purchased a new motherboard to overclock my CPU (I5 3570k and Asus P8Z77 V-LK).
I tried overclocking myself and came across your post to check if adjusting settings would help because the temperatures and core voltage are too high.
When I restarted my PC and opened Hwmonitor and CPU-Z, these were the readings:

And during "under load" mode (FPS test on Siege), it appeared to push CPUs close to 100%, though I haven’t run any extended stress tests yet.

Apologies for the Windows pop-up; I had to close Siege quickly to display CPU usage. The only thing missing is the clock speed (4.3GHz).
Edit: The images weren’t displayed, but you can find them here:
In my view 1.25v is a reasonable voltage, I tested my 4670k at about 1.32v for around two years each day without any issues and now it's running at 4770k with 1.36v. Both units are de-lidded.
In short, if your temperatures are stable, you probably don’t have to worry much about voltage (unless it’s unusually high).
You should try overclocking by just increasing the multiplier, as boosting bus speed will also overclock everything else.
For stress or temperature testing, use software like Aida64—it’s less taxing than tools like prime95, though it still works well.
In my view 1.25v is a reasonable voltage, I used 4670k around 1.32v for about two years daily without any issues and now it's 4770k with 1.36v.
Both of them are de-lidded.
In short, if your temperatures are stable, you don’t really have to worry about the voltage (unless they’re extremely high).
Edit: You should overclock by just increasing the multiplier, since boosting bus speed also overclocks everything else.
For stress or temperature testing, use software like Aida64—it’s not as taxing on your system as tools like prime95, but it will work effectively.

For stress or temperature testing, tools like Aida64 are more suitable than heavy utilities such as prime95, though they still work well.
Do you think lowering voltages or core clock speeds is necessary? Any advice on adjustments would be appreciated.
Thanks for your reply.
In my view 1.25v is a reasonable voltage, I tested my 4670k at about 1.32v for several years daily without issues and now it runs at 4770k with 1.36v. Both units are still okay.
In short, if your temps are stable, you probably don’t have to worry much about the voltage (unless it’s unusually high).
You should try overclocking by just increasing the multiplier, as boosting bus speed will also overclock other components.
For stress or temperature checks, tools like Aida64 are better than prime95 and they’re less taxing on your system.
Would lowering voltages or core clock speeds help you? Any ideas on adjustments if needed?
Or are you all set?
Thanks for the reply.
If you’re comfortable with the current settings, feel free to keep them or go higher.

It’s free “power” after all.
my 3570k @ 4.3 shows a temperature above 1.1 based on cpu-z, or 1.16 according to core temp.
