Trying my hand at overclocking for the first time...on stock cooling for the time being

is there anything here that i should be worried about? this is at idle..just about to run prime test using the settings shown

You only need to start paying attention when temps exceed 80c and 1.25v under load. These are perfectly safe values and fine for 24/7 use. Anything under those and you can fiddle/stress all you want.
 
The cores got just under 80c after about 5-10mins of prime...scary stuff. Not sure wetger to just stock it back to stock before i damage something
 
just under 80 is not scary.

see where it says TJ max on your core temp app? thats the temp at which it will shut down. if you keep it below 90 its no worries. (hell up to 100 should be fine.. its a bit close for me but technically)
 
Depends if you're happy with the temps. The chip has a max rating of 105c which is far higher than anything prior. A prime load of 80c is perfectly fine. It's what most people using custom coolers shoot for at higher clocks.
 
i think ill wait till the end of the month and get an aftermarket cooler before i try anything, im aiming for 4.4 which should be manageable i believe
 
just ordered a "Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler"

should arrive friday, got the house to myself that night also so will try blowing up my Pc then :)

Am i right in thinking that i just set the multiplier to 44 (if aiming for 4.4ghz) and then just keep decreasing the vcore offset until the computer fails the stress tests?

what about the turbo offset? that has me confused >.<

EDIT: something that ive just realised, when buying a new cooler like the one ive just purchased, do they come with thermal paste? i didnt think to order any >.<

Click to expand...

Most coolers come with a tube of thermal paste of some description. I assume the 612S does as well, but having never owned one I cannot be certain
 
Ok, i need some help....

My CPU was originally running at 3.4gig....i messed around with some settints and ran some prime tests then changed my mind (waiting for better cooling) so reset the bios to default.

I rebooted and my chip was reading a 3.6gig...i thought what the hey nm....ive now come back home from work and its showing as 3.8gig..i checked the bios and its all reading default...

wth is going on?

EDIT: 3.8 gig - .94volts @ idle
Temps are

MIN: 32/21//21/24
MAX: 42/35/33/30

EDIT:

Under primetime load it dropped to 3.6gig @1.16volts
MAX Temps: 67/70/67/70

The 3570k has a default clockspeed of 3.4ghz, when turbo is enabled this jumps up to 3.8ghz when the cpu is under load.
