overclocking voltage question
overclocking voltage question
whether it's smart to keep the voltage on auto during overclocking your i5 7600k asus maximus 8 hero motherboard depends on stability and performance goals.
No, the auto tends to dominate the CPU even if it's just for a short time. Someone says they notice a brief 1.6v spike. Always set it up manually.
1. Begin with the default voltage and speed.
2. Gradually raise the clock speed, but only if the system boots without issues—like passing the AIDA64 or real bench stress test for an hour. If stable, keep increasing the speed; if not, boost the voltage and try again.
General guidelines: keep the core voltage below 1.45v and CPU temperature under 85°C during stress tests. Use HWinfo as a useful monitoring tool.

1. Begin with the default voltage and speed settings.
2. Gradually raise the clock speed, but only if the system boots smoothly after a stress test like AIDA64 or a real benchmark for at least an hour to confirm stability. If stable, keep increasing the clock speed; if not, raise the voltage and repeat.
Some guidelines for voltage and temperature: I'll maintain the core voltage below 1.45v and keep the CPU temperature under 85°C during stress tests. HWinfo is a useful tool for monitoring.

Begin with the default voltage and speed.
Gradually raise the clock speed, but only if the system boots smoothly—after one hour of stress testing against AIDA64 or a real benchmark, check stability. If stable, push the speed further; otherwise, boost the voltage and try again.
General guidelines: keep the core voltage below 1.45v and CPU temperature under 85°C during stress tests. HWinfo works well for monitoring.
I reached 4.7 GHz at 1.170V using my Corsair H60 liquid cooler; temperatures were 31°C idle and 50°C under load, aiming for 4.9 GHz.
temperature and voltage are very good.
just set it manually then.
