What sort of max temps should I be aiming for with a 4970k for 24/7 use?

for me im happy between 80-85c at most and that's in stress programs
realworld usage you wont see above 70's,maybe in video editing ect but not in gaming

lol not sure what ASUS were thinking with some of their profiles. Even AUTO settings can be stupidly high.
Oh and here I was getting worried at 60 degrees in IntelBurnTest
Ok maybe ill push a little higher
Caporegime
yh you can go higher imo,mid 80c is acceptable in stressing
cpu v I wouldn't like to run close to 1.4v or above on air,around the 1.38v would be my limit but upto you

Im on water, but using the pump and fans at the absolute lowest speeds possible. Im sure turning them up I could bring the temps down a decent whack, but aiming for silence mainly.

yeah it comes down to personal choice really,but for me 1.4v would be my vcore limit on cpu,
preferably below that
same for cooling/quitness

Managed to nudge it upto 4.6 with only an extra 0.005 vcore so 1.325, running it on a 3dmark loop now to see how it does.
There comes a point when that extra 100Mhz requires above average voltage increase. Thats the best point to stop for 24/7 use.
For example - I run [email protected] 1.26v for 24/7 as pushing to 4.6 requires jumping up to 1.32v which is an above average increase in volts - not worth it just for 100mhz.

The jump for my 3970X from 4.7 to 4.8 is nuts, never seen anything like it.

Which means nothing without figures of the jump
How much of on an increase in voltage do you need?

4.7Ghz is 1.408v
4.8Ghz is 1.488v

My wall starts at 4.8ghz which requires 1.41v, 4.86-4.9(bench dependent) requires 1.48-1.5v

My wall starts at around 5.050GHz at 1.495v
Next jump will take me to around 1.55v for 5.1+ Not worth it for the small increase in speed.

That amount of jump to get there is what 8 pack said to me is............ the chip telling you its limits
e.g when you need a huge increase in vcore for 100mhz
^^ Correct no need for 100mhz in these cases. Just back off and use.

Nope, X79-Deluxe Great board
Great board
I think like 0208 or 0503 are best benching bios on this board.
I tried new but did not like.
