i5 3570k - 75C Under load
i5 3570k - 75C Under load
Hi all,
Just bought a cooler master Hyper TX3i to overclock my i5 3570k.
I gradually increased the CPU Ratio until I reached 4.0ghz.
At that stage, RealTemp reported temperatures around 75C to 78C after about 10 minutes of testing—way too high for me.
I’m hoping to hit at least 4.4ghz, but I’m not sure if the aftermarket cooler is the issue.
(I tried the Hyper 212 Evo, but it didn’t fit well with my 1155 Z77 Pro4-M, so I had to return it—maybe a mistake?)
CPUz says my core voltage is 1.216V, though everything else on the BIOS is set to Auto except the CPU Ratio.
I checked the thermal paste and it looks fine—evenly spread, no bubbles.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
What test are you conducting? It seems the TX3 isn't ideal for overclocking, as the Evo 212 would reduce those temperatures by another 8°C. You might also prefer manually adjusting your Vcore rather than relying on AUTO. Possibly, using less Vcore at 4.OGhz could be more effective than what AUTO suggests.
what test are you executing? it seems the TX3 isn't ideal for overclocking according to your view. The Evo 212 could reduce those temperatures by another 8 degrees.

What setup would you suggest for installation?

You're probably running the TX3 which isn't ideal for overclocking. The Evo 212 could lower those temperatures by another 8C. It would be better to manually adjust your Vcore rather than leaving it in AUTO. You might find you can use less Vcore at 4.OGhz instead of relying on AUTO.
What's the best setup for this machine?
Start with a 1.200Vcore and check stability. If stable, lower it to 1.190 and test again. Continue reducing until you hit the limit before instability, then increase back up.
