noob to overclocking but surely somethings wrong i5 3570k

cpu voltage is also still on auto
as im worried that if i set it to a certain volatage say 1.28v
that it will constantly stick at that ? instead of lowering at idle for films / browsing ect
 
I just go off what cpu-z says,you can go as low as you can if you can keep it stable

idk what cooler your using?
 
Chris, I have the same motherboard and CPU as you, could you let me know what yours set to now, and whether its stable.

Would be much appreciated :)

welllllll
i started a prime 95 but stopped it as temps got a bit scary

90°C is not that much but it is quite a lot for 1.27V and 4.2GHz, I would check the contact between the IHS and the cooler base. Also what is the speed of the fan/s tha blow the Matterhorn? I recommend using RealTemp to watch the temperature and as wazza300 said, lower the voltage quite a lot more.
 
Well it runs fine
Playing assassins creed black flag max temps are at 69c
Might just buy a corsair h100i recon I will see any difference?
 
Googles awesome
New intel cpu nick name lol
Ermmm unsure if I want to upgrade my cpu tbh im on a budget tbh
I have too many hobbys to be spending too much on pcs lol
 
I prefer having the CPU idling at low clock speeds so am using the turboboost to overclock which so far has been a walk in the path, all I have done is change the settings from 3.8 to 4.2GHz. Voltage is set to auto and only rises up to 1.088 when the turboboost kicks in :)

see mine doesnt do that
wonder if its due to motherboard
 
that's cos you need to say the magic word and do the gigabyte dance

then set cpu voltage to "normal" in cpu voltage list,this unlocks dynamic vcore (dvid) then you can enter whats needed usually +0.015v and medium llc but depens on the level of oc

then the cpu will downclock at idle/full speed at load;)

EDIT: for a 4.2ghz oc then id set cpu v to normal,and use a negative dvid -0.010v and low llc
 
Never tested my CPU at stock I insta overclocked it to 4.4ghz and been playing around with higher since. the auto voltage was INSANE 1.25v , instantly I brought that down now it does 4.4GHZ @ 1.184v I also brought the CPU_PLL voltage down to 1.65 after a few months of testing but I'd leave it alone if you don't know much about it.

also prime95 gives you unrealistic temps so don't be concerned about it so much in prime unless your hitting the 90's easily.

Im unsure how to put a negative seems I can only put a positive
Ill have another play tonight but ive been playing assassins creed perfect and the max seems to be 63-68

Try with +/- keys on your numpad. :) You should also be able to type, so try typing - something.
