View on overclocking for this new configuration.
I might be able to reduce the voltage a bit. It still looks quite satisfactory there.
I have both Aida 64 and Prime 95. I was thinking of using Prime first, but I think Aida will be better.
I was mistaken about having Aida64, so I went for the trial version. I didn’t feel the need to worry about my memory because it isn’t overclocked and has remained stable during three builds. I didn’t test the FPU; only the CPU and cache were checked. The FPU test generated a lot of heat. Still, I’m confident this should work well for gaming. I’ll see how it goes.
If it overheats when the FPU is included in the test, I would feel like I was too close to the edge with my CPU. In reality, it's just one of the reasons I lowered it by about 100MHz. Pursuing that last MHz is less important to me than ensuring complete stability and avoiding sudden failures.
The TJMax on this CPU is 100c, but people are setting the vcore above 1.4 just to reach 5ghz. With a 1.35 vcore and an LLC set to 5 out of 10, it brings the temperature up to about 1.368vcore during load. In Cinebench and AIDA64 the max temperature stays at 82c (TJMax is 100c). I believe my CPU is safe from overheating. There’s no chance I’ll stress it at full load while gaming, so I expect my temperatures will be a bit lower than reported now.
