Really i'm just wondering what voltages people run at for 4.5Ghz. i want to know roughly where i sit.

At 4.4Ghz i ran it at 1.25v and at 4.5 i am at 1.27v.

I don't have many benchmarking utilities but, i do 3D modelling, rendering, and stuff like that.

So far i've tested:

Cinebench r15 with no problems.
score: 978

a 4K ambient occlusion Bake in Xnormal

a small map, lightmap build in Unreal Engine 4. (set to run on 7 threads.)



I think it would have worked fine at 1.26v as well maybe less, didn't see any problems from more limitted testing.


Currently temperature maxes out at around 78c on the highest core, using a Cooler Master Hyper T4 using the unreal 4 lightmap bake.

This is a rough guide:

Alright, cheers, that's good to know.

seems to be a big jump in volts from 4.5 to 4.6

I'll drop my volts then, see what it'll do.

At 4.7 mine maxes out at 1.38V and 65 degrees in stress testing.
During gaming it has the odd peak at 60 degrees but usually less, not sure on voltage while gaming though.

Hugely depends on your cpu, mine needs more than 3.50 to get to 4.6. Temps aren't an issue but the volts it requires shoot up. For the .5 fps difference it would make I haven't bothered pushing it further.
