i5 3570k running at 4.5ghz and 1.3v, first time overclocking? Need advice or suggestions!
Well let me explain, I recently installed a new computer and haven't managed to update the BIOS. This is preventing my CPU from reaching a multiple of 43 on my reference or boost settings. I assume the issue lies with the BIOS itself. Do you agree?
I'm not entirely confident. I think it's likely the BIOS, so I should check that first.
It's also advisable to avoid enabling turbo boost, as it can cause instability in your CPU when trying to reach 5.0Ghz. People often say it's not worth the risk, even though it sounds appealing. The most reliable overclocking is with a fixed voltage and multiplier. Those who professionally overclock usually follow this approach. I prefer keeping temperatures lower with speedstep and aiming for around 4.5Ghz during games. How would you actually achieve a steady 4.5Ghz? Just disable turbo and rely on the multiplier method?
The post describes an initial overclock experience, sharing details about achieving a 4.5ghz performance on an i5 3570K with stable temperatures during testing. It asks about the safety of the temperatures and voltage levels, especially for continuous use, and seeks advice on monitoring tools and potential adjustments. The user also mentions concerns about the voltage being slightly high for long-term stability and asks about adding extra cooling components.
Casey Dennis also suggests boosting the turbo clock to maintain gaming performance while reducing idle speeds and temperatures. He shares his experience with a 3570K processor, achieving around 1.5GHz at 25°C and reaching 5.0Ghz with Intel Turbo Tech. He mentions he's planning to upgrade his CPU to a 1080 in the near future.
