I5 3570K Overclocking Undervolt

TheRealist · 19 Jun 2013 at 23:30

So i went into my mobos bios and i selected offset mode and the offset voltage to -0.65. I am at 1.016-1.032V (i have overclocked to 4.2GHz) and i have been running PRIME9 for half an hour and temps are at mid 60's.

Im thinking of going to 4.4-4.5Ghz. So then i would have to increase voltage by a bit at a time, until its stable right? Sorry, just need some reassurance, first time OCing with the bios.

yes just use less - offset so maybe -0.010v then see if your stable if not reduce it further or switch to a positive offset to add so maybe +0.005 or +0.010v

Finally got my 3570k to 4.5GHz at 1.144V, temps on Prime95 are at low 70's, going into the 80's at the most.

Which cooler are you using?

what are you specs? just been doing an overclock on my 3570k and 4.6 was too much using IBT my vcore for 4.5 is 1.260v with a positive offset of 0.060v and llc-turbo. but tbh i've not tried to reduce the volts since coming down from 4.6.

have you used intel burn in test? or played any games with it yet?
