3570k OC queries

there's only 2 settings you need to touch for a basic overclock
the multiply and the vcore

if it wont load 4.2(x42 multi) at 1.2v something isnt right
i dont think u need a new cooler to overclock at all just stay away from going over 1.3, you shouldnt need to

1.2v is good upto 4.5

and when i said about learn how to reset the bios before you start, i meant the jumpers on the board, tho some fancy boards have a button :)

so yeh have another go after grabbing an icepop :cool:

Ha ok i'm a bit confused, where exactly are the multiply and vcore settings in the bios? I have a z77 mobo and going by what u said i must have changed the wrong settings.

I too was thinking that going to 4.2 was a very modest oc that i should have no trouble with, just so happens i haven't got a clue what i'm doing. Lol.

cant find it? :(
might also be called core ratio?

im really not the best person to answer on asus boards (or maybe any board :))
google some guides on the board you are using

dont copy his settings :) i wouldnt try 4.7 on your cooler

Thanks for that mate. Tried another oc to 4.2, literally just set the ratio to 4.2 and didn't tinker with any other settings. This is a screen of my temps and voltages

My voltages actually hit 1.2 at idle as well even though that isn't shown in the screen. They seemed to stay in the 1.2 region while gaming but occasionally hit the 1.3 region as shown. U mentioned it shouldn't really climb over 1.2 and it has so what other settings could be affecting the voltage? Hoping i'm not in the minority here and i've got a dodgy board/cpu
 
you need to enable all power saving in the bios,intel speedstep

just set the cpu/pci clock to 100,cpu multi to 42x

set cpu voltage to offset mode and then use +0.010v and set medium loadline calibration

then see what load cpu voltage is when stressing,if too high use a negative cpu offset so maybe -0.005v

you should manage 4.2ghz with around the 1.2v mark

Cheers wazza i'll try that
 
So i took wazza's advice and set the offset to +0.01V and set medium loadline calibration. The cpu now turbos up to 4.2ghz when gaming as i want it to and the cpu vcore maxs out at 1.264V while gaming while my temps are in the 60s but might push the 70 mark, dunno yet.

This seems like great news, but as ever, give a man something and all he wants is more, lol. Firstly i would like advice on whether that vcore and those temps that i listed are around where they should be for that 4.2 OC.

Secondly i'd be delighted if someone could give me an educated guess about how much more i should OC the cpu. My endgame was always around the 4.5 mark and i'd like some views on whether that's a realistic goal based on my current voltage and temps at 4.2?

Also i noticed my temps raise when i switch my power options to high performance from balanced in the control panel. I'm currently leaving it on balanced, is there any real difference between them?

Thanks again for all the help so far folks, hope to hear from ye soon.

I ran a 3570k @ 4.5gHz with 1.2v. (24/7)
I did have a D14 cooler.

All accounts 4.5 is very achievable.

Good to know, cheers. If i was gonna go to 4.5 i would surely have to change my current voltage settings though wouldn't i? I'm still pretty naive about the whole thing. I'm hitting 1.264v in game at 4.2 atm. If i did manage to get to 4.4/4.5 with the proper voltage and temps i would be so happy i'd leave it alone for life, lol.
 
my old rig was on air cooling and it still did 4.4ghz at 1.272v, i used the turbo multiplier to do the overclock so that it would clock down to 1.6ghz when not active. also leave the c3/6 and c1e enabled rather than auto, this will help it clock down when web browsing too.

each chip is slightly different and takes slightly different amounts of voltage to oc. your's could take more or less voltage.
 
@ the op you can lower it further if you like with either low llc or use a negative dvid -0.05v or -0.010v to bring voltages down

or leave cpu v as it is and raise the cpu multi to 4.4ghz and oc higher
 
just a little bit of info for the OP: I have the same i5 and its clocked at 4.5ghz with all settings auto, doesn't go above 59c in prime95 totrture test and max 1.18v on CPUz (using a p67 chipset mobo)
