I5 3570k overclock settings

[4737Joker]

Hi,

I had my i5 clocked to 4.4 up until yesterday, i took it back to stock because i felt my settings were causing instability. I had random freezes now and then with no bsod, after taking it back to stock it seems fine.

My settings were as follows,

44 multi
high llc
offset +0.050
ram set via xmp @ 1600mhz

everything else was on auto (i think)

hwmonitor and other monitoring software was showing vcore at around 1.136-1.144 while under load, this just seems too low for the overclock based on what others have been using.

I read someone else thread yesterday and they were recommended to use the following on a very similar setup;

low llc, -0.010 offset 45 multi

They had a similar board (asus) so i thought it would probably work for me, it didn't

Looking is the bios its shows the vcore around 1v so am i right in assume i need a + offset to increase the voltage? or am i using the wrong llc settings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try manually setting your speed and ram voltage to its recommended settings.

Sounds like ya just need a higher offset if its only using 1.14 under load, just set ya offset to +0.07 i have mine to +0.1 at 4.4 which gives me 1.3v roughly

Would XMP settings not be adequate? ran memtest no errors plus i am using the XMP profile with the cpu on stock settings and i'm having no issues

What llc are you using?
