Hello everyone.
I'm just starting out with overclocking and would really appreciate some guidance.
My first CPU was a weak one, only booting on three cores.
I replaced it and this new one is impressive.
I pushed it to 46 at 1.248v with air cooling. That’s quite impressive, though.
My question is: when stress testing with Intel Extreme Tuning and Ada64, temperatures reached the low 70s using Cryorig H7.
With Prim95, the temps spiked into the low 70s as well.
I’m averaging around 4.59ghz, not 46—am I getting more voltage?
Also, could I try pushing it to 47ghz on air, or should I stick at 46?
Lastly, is the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste still valid after about 200 hours?
I’ve heard mixed things about it.
Thanks for your help.
Prime95 will definitely lead to higher temperatures compared to Aida64, particularly when using versions older than 26.6 like 28.9. It puts a lot of stress on the processor. The 0.01Ghz difference is quite typical based on my experience. For speeds around 4.7Ghz, it's up to you—you might need more voltage, which increases temperatures, and so on. Give it a try and observe the vcore and temperature; it will help you decide if the extra 2% clock speed is worth it. AS5 works well. It's less common now, but changing it isn't necessary. You might notice a slight temperature reduction after initial use, but it shouldn't be substantial.
