Do these voltages match what you expect for an i5 3570K overclock?
Do these voltages match what you expect for an i5 3570K overclock?
I managed to reach 4.4GHz with a +0.035V adjustment and it worked well. But reaching 4.5GHz requires a +0.080V offset to maintain stability. This represents a significant increase in voltage needed between the two frequencies. Is this an error or is it normal?
Thanks, Dan.
With increasing CPU speeds, more voltage is required to maintain stability. For example, my 1700X runs smoothly at 3.8GHz with 1.33v, but reaching 1.35GHz makes it difficult to hit 3.9 without instability. Reducing the clock speed would allow for significantly lower voltages (perhaps around 1.1 for stock or even less). This is simply how overclocking works.

The speed of CPUs increases, but you require significantly more voltage to maintain stability. For example, my 1700X runs smoothly at 3.8GHz with 1.33v, but reaching 1.35GHz makes it unstable until I drop the voltage to around 1.1 for the original model or lower. Adjusting the clock speed further would reduce the needed voltage considerably. It's just how overclocking works.
