I7 10700K specifications covering voltage levels, clock speeds, and boost circuit details
Hey folks, I just wanted to ask if you knew the stock voltages for the stock i7 10700k clocks and also the stock/default boost clock voltages? E.g. what voltage would be used if you ran at 4,5 to 5,1Ghz by default and how much could you potentially undervolt assuming you had decent luck with your silicon lottery? I am asking because i waiting for mine to arrive and since the i7 10700k is supposed to be a warm chip and i personally had good experience in the past with undervolting intel cpus out of the box, i wanted to know if you guys had any specific numbers concerning the i7 10700k thanks for the help! PS: I also read out of the box the cpu may reach a single core turbo of 5,1ghz, what voltage is it using in that mode? with voltage i always mean Vcore setting
Voltage levels vary across every board. They depend on the manufacturer's specifications. It's impossible to predict exactly how much your CPU will underclock. You'll usually have to experiment until you find a stable setting.
Yes, I see. A practical beginning would be 1.3V at 4.9GHz, then adjust the voltage downwards.
It varies based on your goal. Are you focusing on stock returns and overvoltage, or do you prefer customizing and overvolting?
stock results and undervolt PS focus more on a calm system rather than a strict clock, but I favor a quieter setup for smoother gameplay with aggressive fan rates and higher pump speeds.
Focus on core ratio instead of tweaking settings when you're mainly interested in stock results. The only adjustment you should make is Vcore. A cooler CPU runs more smoothly, so a quality cooler is beneficial here. Usually, people undervolt for thermal or noise reasons, but that doesn't seem to apply in this scenario. Why are you still considering undervolting?
i plan to use an i7 with an AIO set for exhaust rather than intake. Based on the comparison in the Bitwit/awesomesauce video, I anticipate a temperature rise of about 10°C. To maintain lower fan speeds and acceptable temps while keeping the nzxt running smoothly, I may need to reduce the Vcore slightly.
