Oc i5 3570k on a z77x-UP5
I'm curious about pushing my CPU even higher to the 4.6/8ghz range without hitting 1.3v. Currently it's at 4.4ghz with a temperature of 1.225v, and the idle temps are between 38-42c while the load runs from 72-76c. I tested prime95 and AIDA64, both stayed stable around 74°C each. I've heard temperatures can reach up to 105, but I want to keep the PC running at about 85-90c if it's on 24/7. Thanks for your advice!
First off, an 8ghz is quite unrealistic. A 4.7 is far more achievable and could be a viable option to increase speed, but considering the motherboard and its age, please read what follows first.
This is how CompuTronix described the temperatures:
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) = 67C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) = 72C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 105C ...
You're already reaching the highest temperatures you want, around 72C. I think going up to a steady 80-90C wouldn't be wise. Ultimately, I believe the benefits of adding a couple more 100MHz wouldn't outweigh the thermal effects or the real impact on performance.
you misunderstood, i was talking about 4.7/4.8ghz. There is no way in hell id get to 8ghz lmao.

First off 8ghz is unrealistic. 4.7 is much more realistic and a possibility to go up to in speed, but based upon that motherboard and how it is aging please read below first.
So this is what CompuTronix has said about temps.
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) = 67C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) = 72C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 105C ...
You're already running about the hottest you want to go at 72C I would say. I feel like going up to a constant 80-90C isn't a great idea. In the end I feel as though the gain you would receive from getting a couple more 100mhz would not justify the thermals or the actual impact it would have on gaming, or whatever you're using it for.
Bidmoon clarified that the discussion was about 4.7/4.8ghz and not about reaching 8ghz. Codygriffy emphasized that 8ghz is unrealistic and mentioned the importance of considering the motherboard's condition before increasing speeds. He shared details on temperatures from CompuTronix, noting the CPU temperature and thermal limits, suggesting a more balanced approach rather than pushing to extreme values.
