i5 3570k 4.5GHz @ 1.128 vcore

Hi guys,

This is my first attempt at overclocking, having read guides etc, I think I have hit a nice spot with my CPU.

Could one of you kindly just validate my data, and make sure I am not incorrectly assessing what I have?

I'm very happy with the results if so.

I ran Prime95 from 8pm last night, and stopped it around 2pm today:

30mins~ into run:

2pm:

Good. Nice voltage.

looks like you got yourself a really good clocker, I would leave it at 4.5 as thats fast enough for anything really, unless you wanna really push it.

Sound advice but boring.

Push it to its limit, then revert back to 4.5 for 24/7 use.

Excellent speeds at such a low v core! I can only get 4.3GHZ @ 1.28V

Is that a fixed 24/7 OC or are you using DVID?

Chip and a half that mate. Should hit 5GHz easy!

Fixed, not using Dynamic vcore

Wouldn't I need water setup for that range? - I should push it, but I do feel comfortable at 4.5 though

I would be itching to see how fast it goes first

, after ya have had your fun just kick it back down to 4.5 and set up and offset voltage.

yeah ild wanna see that on sub zero

Thats why I am thinking Ivy not Haswell!

So, even if I left it as it is now, would fixed voltage not be a good idea then? I'm unsure the benefits of having offset voltage instead of fixed considering mine is low as is. Unless I'm not understanding something as I am fairly new to this.

Well when your CPU is idle it will drop down to 1600 MHz and at that speed it doesn't need 1.12v and will drop it down to 0.8.

Thanks for this thread, I've learnt a lot about my CPU (Currently 4.4 @ 1.184v) though I havn't done a full manual overclock as let the bios handle an offset rather than fixed. Looks like I might be pushing my chip at the weekend
