hey 8 pack i am looking to start overclocking my 3570k

the system

CPU:3570K
Cooling:Custom Water Alpahcool 240+120 loop OCool block
MB:Asus Sabertooth Z77
GPU:Evga Gtx 680
Sound:fatality xfi
CASE:Corsair Obsidian 650d
Memory:Corsair 1600mhz 8gb
HDD: INTEL 250GB SSD
PSU thermatake thoughpower xt 875w

i am hoping for 4.4ghz to 4.5ghz
how is this looking so far

testing prime 95 blend with cpu voltage @1.2v 43 multi as recommended by Doomedspeed,
how long should i test this before upping the multiplier again?

how does this look

thanks for your time

are these temps ok so far

Looks absolutely fine for me this one.

rpggamesplayer · 16 Jan 2013 at 14:09

Great thanks for the response, should I up the multi now? Isit best to do it in increasements of 1 or can I go straight to 45?
I have changed vccsa 1.05 pll 1.65
This got my temps down 4c on hottest core

What temp would you say to stick with to be safe,

Much appreciated dude,

Go straight up and tweak accordingly.

Stay under 90 absolute tops.

rpggamesplayer · 16 Jan 2013 at 18:03

Kl my chip requires 1.23v for 4.4ghz and 1.35v for 4.5ghz is that safe ? Temps reach 76c

8 Pack · 16 Jan 2013 at 21:43

Its safe but the jump in volts for only 100mhz is in my eyes not worth it. The call is yours though.

rpggamesplayer · 16 Jan 2013 at 21:50

Fair enough might sell this 3570k and get a i7 do they clock any better or is it all luck of the draw

8 Pack · 17 Jan 2013 at 09:58

Its a silicon lottery !!!! If you dont need HT stay with your 3570, 4.5 is a decent 24/7 clock.

my temps are reaching 72c on water is this bad do you think something maybe wrong with my loop, i have re-seated cpu block and still have same results this is at 1.210v 43 multi

72 does seem abit high on custom water but 72 is by no means High for Ivy.

How is the downward pressure on the chip??? and the TIM contact in the waterblock??

If its stable you could leave it as like I say 72 is within tolerances for Ivy.

Good!!! Its best to trouble shoot such things early on then you dont waste time later.
