Hay there!!!!
Spent quite a while lurking in the shadows before actually biting the bullet and getting everything together for my first build/overclock.
Built my rig with no problems, and overclocked following a guide on ivy/sandy. I forget which one, it had the overclocking olympics at the top.
Anyways, i have a stable 4.5 oc. I have run it through the intel burn test at the very highest setting and it passed, i have also had it run through prime on the blend setting all day lond and no problems.
My only problem it that at full load it is at 1.304v -1.312. I know this isnt the highest voltage ever, i was just expecting it to be about 1.25v.
I have a noctua nh-d14 cooling it. under full load my temps are min - 61 62 62 58 and the max temps are 73 80 76 73. I am guessing that these higher temps are due to the higher voltage.
I can live with tese temps and the voltage as i undersatand that they are below the max, its just a bit annoying i picked up a i5 i5 3570k and the noctura for a hefty oc and cant manage it ( my mobo is the asrock extream 4 z77)
I also have 8 gb (2x4gb) corsair vengence ram.
The setting i have in bios are all the same as the guide i followed. I am in offset with a setting of -0.010, additional turbo voltage of 0.047 and llc level 2.
Cpu z reads the idle voltage as 1.032 and the bios reads it as 1.080. When i open cpuz it peaks at 1.320.
When idle cpuz gave a xs bench score of 1885 and under load it came in at about 1400.
Any of you guys have any ideas as to what i could to so that i can get my oc higher or my voltage down??
As i say, i dont think that this OC is to to bad, maby just not the best out there. My only concern is that at the moment i dont have a graphics card in there, just the on board one, i know that when i get a higer end one my temps will rise a bit.
Anyways,, over to you..If you need any additional info just let me know. Any help would be great
