Hey there, I’m just getting started with Battlefield 5 and wanted to share my experience. I’ve got an i5 6600K with a Corsair H100i cooler and an ASUS 980ti graphics card with 6GB RAM. I’ve noticed my CPU often hits 100% at temperatures around 65-67°C, while the GPU stays at about 80% (70°C). I thought those high temps were too much for 4.5GHz performance, but after checking, I found the GPU runs at 1.44Vcore and the BIOS is set to AUTO. I’m trying to squeeze more performance out without pushing my CPU too high—around 65°C max. Is this normal behavior, or could something be wrong with my components?

The auto setting is consistently higher than required. You might achieve 5ghz at that voltage. When overclocking, adjust the -offset vcore in BIOS. For 4.5ghz, aim for 1.2-1.25v during load.

This process consistently relies on manual voltage adjustments during overclocking. However, 67 degrees isn't considered extremely high—definitely not.

Thank you, the results from the cinebench r20 test are here. I have a few questions: why is the frequency listed as 3.51 GHz instead of 4.5 GHz? Also, if I increase the voltage on my CPU, can I still access BIOS to adjust it back? How do core speeds influence CPU temperatures? Are they affected mainly by voltage or both? If yes, does that mean using 1.44V will consistently keep me around -76°C as shown?

Sure, I checked the replies and found some useful information. The maximum temperature mentioned is 72°C, which does seem high. Let me know if you need more details!

your voltage reading is 1.344 and the system is set to 4.5 manual llc low auto, which seems to be problematic.

Cinebench gives incorrect MHz readings; use HWiNFO instead. Your MHz values seem correct. Current temperature is 100°C. The rating you saw online refers to ambient temperature, not core temperature, so it doesn't apply. Both voltage and frequency raise temperatures.

The outcomes seem to match expectations. Indeed, faster speeds will influence the amperage drawn. Voltage might stay consistent (varies by your settings). You might want to test 5GHz on auto mode just to see the voltage output. Also, retrieve HWinfo64 and verify core values like vcore.

Sorry for the delayed response. I've completed some testing. My current spec is 4.7Ghz, and I converted voltage to 1.380. The cinebench test ran without crashing; it briefly peaked to 75°C for a split second, otherwise stayed near 73°C at 1.375V before failing. I'm unsure why this happened—maybe the draw currents were higher than expected? I initially considered lowering the voltage further, but that caused the issue again. It seems there might be other unknown factors at play.
