So I reversed the fans to draw air through the RAD into the case instead of forcing air out. I attached the 140mm fan from my Phantom 410 case at the top. It only spins around 550rpm but should help push air out.
I set the AIO fans to operate at 95% because I believe 100% won't make much of a difference and it's much quieter than full speed. It feels more like a subtle background hum, which is acceptable for me.
Next, I ran P95 small fft for 30 minutes and here are the average results.
P.S. - Based on what I understand, this would result in around 65c on Ivybridge since you’d need to add about 10c for Haswell.
I adjusted my voltage manually to 1.22, which brings it to approximately 1.2219v and set the multiplier to 44 for 4.4Ghz. The temperatures remain around 75-77°C, so I’m confident this is the expected range for that setting.
I plan to keep using my OC to check if stability improves at a lower voltage of 1.2 instead of 1.22, aiming to reduce heat output.
Please let me know if you have any further advice or additional information regarding the temperatures and OC process so far. I attempted 4.5Ghz at 1.25v but it crashed after the first minute, suggesting my CPU might be more sensitive than others. Still, it’s running smoothly at 4.4 with 1.22 and not as unstable as some other models.
I’ll explore whether 1.25v is the problem and if lowering to 1.22 could help, especially since Intel chips can behave differently. I’ll keep you updated on my findings and consider creating a new thread about this OC attempt.
