i have had my build for a year now and have done some house cleaning,
coolant change and fresh windows install.
I used the ASUS AI Suite to overclock and before it was overclocked to 4.24
however this time it has gone to 4.54. After my coolant change I have noticed that the temps have increased to around 42 where they used to be 36 - 37 is this normal as the overclock is higher and at what temp should I be worried

You're running with way too high Vcore if CPU-Z is right. Though I heard some version bugs and shows the wrong voltage.

Don't run over 1.35 for everyday use.. If that voltage is true, your temps are awesome though.
 
+1

way too much voltage = heat

manually set 45 in cpu multiplier in the bios
set to medium loadline calibration
and set cpu voltage to offset than +0.015v

and see how that works regarding stability/load cpu voltage

I don't use that much vcore for 4.8ghz!!

all software overclocking should be banned!!! always overclock through the bios
 
Thanks for the help, I have never done any overclocking before so was reluctant to play with any settings, but if the voltage is to high I will try what you suggested and see how I go.
I asumed the utility bundeld with the motherboard would know what it was doing.
 
it nearly always uses way too much voltage than whats needed,you want to stay below 1.4v

anywhere from 1.3-1.35v for 4.5ghz on ivy

forgot to add manually set pci/cpu bclk to 100

I really appreciate your help and have done as you suggested,
however I just have one more question about the voltage. having set the setting as you described and running prime 95 for 15 mins the system seems stable but the voltage drops under load

This is at idle

And this us under Load

Is this normal and more importantly safe.
Cheers
 
yes its normal,does the voltage drop to under 1v at idle?

if not makesure all power saving is enabled and eist,c3/c6 entel speedstep in the bios and use balanced power profile in windows power saving options
 
Again I have done as you suggested but the voltage never drops. It stays pretty much dead on 1.3 at idle.

I'm running an xspc dual bay res with d5 2 120mm rads and 1 240 mm cooling the CPU and 7970
 
Ok, what rads exactly? What's the airflow configuration and what are your 7970 temps under load (in Heaven 4.0 for example) and at what clocks?

Just asking because for all we know, you could have a setup using very thin rads with an airflow configuration that basically pumps the heat from one rad onto the next for example :)

Even better if you have pics.
 
Are you using offset voltage as wazza has suggested? If on fixed vcore, even with the balanced power plan and c3/6 power states, speedtep etc enabled the voltage wont drop at idle.
 
I really appreciate all your help, after ROYALY messing that up i have resorted to a known working overclock i had backed up on pen drive.
so now im left with

This on idle

And this at load
load-1.jpg

Now this seems OK to me (apart from core#2 being 10 degrees hotter than core #0) but if there's something i should be doing then im open to your wisdom

and in-case it helps this is the inside if the tower

you've gne back to auto bclk hence 103,set cpu multi to 45x and bclk to 100

if unstable add one/two clicks more cpu offset v
 
Nice Build.. A quick question wouldn't the pump need to be quite beefy to push through as I spot 3 rads in that picture. (I'm no expert by the way just a question :) )
 
Well I think weve done it, I'm now getting

Idle

Load

The Pump is a d5 on setting 3 I was assured that would do the job ?
 
still should be lower idle voltage,are you sure you enabled c3/c6 in the bios? should be below 1v at idle

apart from that it looks ok
