I attempted to run OCCT and it crashed immediately! After switching the vcore to 1.2, it works properly now. The issue lies with my temperatures, which often reach the upper 60s to 70C. Is this normal? I haven’t pushed it that hard before, so the temperatures are unusually high.
Experimenting with the voltage might help—perhaps a lower setting like 1.15v instead of 1.2v would work better. There’s no one-size-fits-all setting; each person needs to discover the optimal overclock ratio for their specific chip and cooling setup. Overclocking really depends on your hardware and cooling performance.
It’s important not to exceed the recommended factory voltage and thermal limits. While 70C is acceptable, using a better air cooler would improve results. For a Haswell chip, anything above 1.3v isn’t ideal for long-term stability. The EVO 212 is a solid air cooler, not designed for extreme overclocks, but it performs well at 4.5Ghz with 70C.
Thanks a lot for your advice! I just wanted to ask—are there any other adjustments I should consider?
Thanks again!

I suggest experimenting with the voltage settings. You might discover that a lower voltage, like 1.15v instead of 1.2v, works better.

It’s important to stay within the factory-recommended voltage and thermal limits. While 70C is acceptable, using a better air cooler would improve results. For a Haswell chip, anything above 1.3v isn’t ideal for long-term use. The EVO 212 is a common air cooler, but it’s not designed for pushing maximum overclocks. Still, at 4.5Ghz and 70C it’s quite impressive!
Thanks a lot for your advice! One more question: have you adjusted the vcore or offset? If you fixed it, be mindful of c1e and eist. If you did an offset change, leave those settings as is.
