Using Turboboost for overclocking at various clock speeds
Using Turboboost for overclocking at various clock speeds
I recently updated my 3570k using turboboost to 4.2ghz with auto voltage. Max VID is 1.211V. Prime 95 - 5 hours:
Core #0: 65 C
Core #1: 73 C
Core #2: 70 C
Core #3: 69 C
Package: 73 C
Possible question: If Core #1 gets hot, especially in Ivy Bridge, should I increase the clock speed of the other cores? In a turboboost setup, having Core #1 at 4.2ghz while others run at 4.4ghz could cause problems?
None of your components are overheating, and a voltage of 1.211v is sufficient for the CPU. Which cooler are you employing?
The aim was to determine if I could prevent constant CPU overclocking after years of use. The idea was to try turboboost. Regarding its temperature, it's roughly 30 degrees from throttling, and the mid-70s range is generally considered safe for a 3570k. Is that correct?
There remains 27c of margin. The maximum temperature before throttling starts is 100c.
