The outcomes are satisfactory.
The outcomes are satisfactory.
After some effort, I successfully increased my components (GTX 1070 and I7 6700K).
Now I have a few concerns:
1. Are they suitable?
Gpu : [link]
CPU: 4.8ghz at 1.384v/1.392v (it occasionally reaches that for a short time). Should I raise the voltage beyond 1.4v? I’ve heard that voltages over 1.4v can be problematic, possibly even damaging parts. What are your thoughts? Also, temperatures stay below 70°C. Are these results satisfactory, or might the hardware be faulty (maybe a refund is needed)?
2. Should I overclock my RAM as well?
Two 8GB sticks at 2133MHz DDR4. I’ve been told that overclocking RAM can cause instability. I’ll check again to confirm.
After some effort, I successfully increased my overclocking (GTX 1070 and i7 6700K). Here are my queries:
1. The GPUs look fine. You can check the image here: http://i.imgur.com/xYTkdHg.png
CPU is running at 4.8ghz with voltages around 1.384v/1.392v, occasionally reaching that for short periods. Should I try higher voltages? I’ve heard that voltages above 1.4v can be problematic, possibly even damaging the chip. What are your thoughts? Also, temperatures stay below 70°C. Are these results satisfactory, or do the components need replacement?
2. Should I also overclock my RAM? I have two 8GB sticks at 2133MHz DDR4. I’ve heard that increasing RAM speed can cause instability. I’ll ask again to confirm.
If the CPU is stable, raising voltage isn’t necessary. The current setting is excellent—your own experience shows it too. Voltage changes won’t help much. You can watch this video for more info:

CPU: 4.8ghz at 1.384v/1.392v (it occasionally reaches that for a short time). Should I raise the voltage further? I’ve heard that voltages above 1.4v can be problematic, possibly even damaging the chip. What do you think? Also, temperatures stay below 70°C. Are these results satisfactory, or are the parts faulty (maybe I should consider a refund)?
2. Should I overclock my RAM as well?
Two sticks of 8GB at 2133MHz DDR4. I’ve heard that overclocking RAM can be unstable. I’ll ask again to confirm.
If your CPU runs stably, there’s no need to increase the voltage. This voltage is quite strong. I have it at 1.390v and in BIOS it shows 1.360v per core.
What RAM models are you using? Are they two 8GB or two 4GB units? If they’re entry-level 2133, you probably won’t lose much performance. DDR4 RAM usually doesn’t offer significant gains in games (max around 1-2fps). Just don’t push it!

2. Should I also try overclocking my RAM?
Two sticks of 8GB at 2133MHz DDR4. I’ve heard that increasing RAM voltage can cause instability. I’ll check again to be sure.
If my CPU runs stably at 5ghz, I’ll stick with the current voltage—this one seems very stable. I set it to 1.39v in BIOS and it shows 1.36v per core.
What RAM model are you using? Are they 2 sticks of 8GB or 2 sticks of 4GB? If they’re entry-level 2133, you probably won’t lose much performance. DDR4 RAM usually doesn’t offer significant gains in gaming (max around 1-2fps). Just don’t push it!

How many cores at 4.8GHz, try running some useful tasks with that speed—maybe Corona Render or other CPU-heavy tests? What’s your offset increment? CPU cooler? Your data could be valuable for other members here, man.
I might be a bit confused about what you mean by "How many cores at 4.8GHz" and "what's your offset increment." What do you actually ask? I’m happy to help and share the results, that’s essentially the point of this post.
Anyway, the CPU cooler is a Deepcool Maelstrom 240t. When it’s at its regular price (I got it on sale), I don’t recommend it because it gets pretty loud. If you want a quieter system, you’d have to adjust the fan speeds—if your motherboard allows it, of course. But in terms of temperatures, it’s quite good, especially considering the price I got (it was similar to a Cryorig H7).

I was wondering about the number of cores at 4.8GHz and whether it’s possible to run a useful task at that speed—things like Corona Render or other demanding benchmarks. Could you share your offset increment? Also, what kind of CPU cooler are you using? Your data could be valuable for other members here.
I might not fully grasp what you’re asking about, but I’m happy to help and post my results. That’s essentially the goal of this message.
Anyway, the recommended CPU cooler is the Deepcool Maelstrom 240t. At its regular price (which I found on sale), it tends to be noisy. If you want a quieter system, you’d need to adjust the fan speeds—if your motherboard supports it. In terms of temperatures, it performs reasonably well, especially considering its price compared to similar models.

Check the Windows Task Manager; you should see the CPU core graph. Typically, only 2 to 4 cores are visible at their top speed, with the rest below that. Even if you have eight threads at 4.8GHz, it’s worth knowing your BIOS settings.
In the CPU configuration menu in BIOS, look for Vcore offset or a similar term (depending on your motherboard). My stable setting is around 4.5GHz across four cores plus three at 4.1GHz and one at 4.0GHz (using Gigabyte Z170 Ultra Gaming). I previously had 4.9GHz but only one core, which was stable in Handbrake and Blender Cycle.
Mikel_4 asked about the number of cores at 4.8GHz and the offset increment, mentioning CPU cooler and data usefulness. He also expressed confusion over his questions and offered to share results for others to benefit.
Vlad_14 responded by suggesting checking the Windows Task Manager for core information. He explained typical core counts range from 2 to 4 at maximum speed, with BIOS settings affecting Vcore offset. He shared a BIOS configuration example and noted stability results on certain motherboards.
