Hi Everyone,
I've used the Asus 4 way optimization tool on my 4770K. The voltages are at 1.216 for a 4.2GHz OC. Idle temperatures should be between 35-40°C, and under full prime 95 for up to 20 minutes, the max temps are 65-70°C. Is this voltage too high for the CPU? I'm using a Noctua D15S cooler, which I upgraded from an older AIO model because it was getting old and might leak. With only one fan, would adding another make a difference? From what I've read, 1.216V is quite high for a 4.2GHz OC, and my main concern is the high idle temperature. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

4770K features an unlocked multiplier, allowing you to modify it via BIOS settings. Ensure the system remains stable under this configuration; otherwise, begin raising the voltage starting from its default level.
