Undervolting 4770k

[almoststew1990]

Hi everyone

I am running my 4770k at stock for a bit and I was looking to undervolt it to see if it would be a bit cooler. What would be the best method of doing this? I set my overclock with a "manual" voltage, but I would still like the volts to fluctuate up and down as necessary. Should I use "offset" and put a minus offset in?

In theory the easiest thing to do is just put a negative offset in like you say.

However the best method IMO to lower temperatures would;d be to de-lid the processor and replace the stock thermal compond between the die and heatspreader with some liquid metal TIM. I saw a 20 degree improvement on my 4770k when i did that.

I undervolted my 4770k, just lower the off-set.

I can't recall what i'm lowered by but it's quite a margin, make a real different to your drop in temps. I lowered core temps by around 10c just by undervolting.

How much did you lower the offset by?

4770T at stock or 4785T at stock would easily beat the undervolting of 4770K.
