Overclocking i5 3570K
Overclocking i5 3570K
Hi guys,
what specifications can I expect with an i5 3570K on an MSI Z77G45 using a Hyper 212 EVO or Corsair H100? Are there noticeable differences between those two coolers? Also, at what temperature might the CPU start to fail? And what’s the expected difference in FPS between a stock 3.4GHz and a 4.5GHz processor, around 10 FPS? Thanks in advance.
4.3 seems suitable for a 212, possibly 4.4 to 4.5 based on the required performance. The difference in FPS is unlikely to be significant unless you're dealing with extremely CPU-intensive games or encountering a bottleneck.
It comes down to it. Each CPU is unique, with varying overclocking potential. Just keep an eye on temperatures and ensure the system remains stable while you boost the clock speed.
On a 212 you can expect around 4.3Ghz, with 4.4-6 on the h100. It depends on the voltage requirements of your chip. Maintain temperatures below 80°C in the hottest core during full load (such as with IBT or AIDA64)
