IS my 3570k overclock safe? help

3570k@4.7@1.27v

prime95 temps are go between 64-69c

is this ok guys?

btw i don't use an offset so is 1.248v going into my CPU going to hurt it a lot when browsing the web? idle temps are around 26-33.

That's crazy good. You have a really good chip there.

Can you do a stress test and post results? Minimum 30min to an hour.

So does everything look safe? a constant 1.25v and a gaming 1.27v inst going to hurt my chip?

4.5 should be OK at 1.25 - http://rog.asus.com/184142012/maximus-motherboards/guide-overclocking-the-core-i5-3570k-to-4-5ghz-on-the-maximus-v-gene/


Your temps sound OK though. How long you run Prime 95? Tried Intel burn?

What cooler and motherboard you using?

Excellent! If passes stress test.

yeah i ran IBT for 15 runs it passed but temps went to high 70's and i saw a 83c when doing that but realistically nothing will ever push my CPU that hard...ever.

Also my chip only need 1.85v for 4.5ghz.

If it passes the stress test, that is an amazing overclock. I am so jealous. How long did you run Prime95 for?

ran IBT for 15 runs and been running prime on blend test for around 2-3 hours now

my temps on average on prime are about 64-66

That's is crazy. Looks really good.

Gee - good chip then!

That's is crazy. Looks really good.

the volts i have pumping in my CPU aren't going to hurt it much right? i don't plan on upgrading till skylake comes out so ;p.

think i read somewhere i won't cause damage until i go past 1.35

 

[rolli59]

Those volts are fine

 

[i7Baby]

It's not go -no go. The more volts, the hotter and the shorter life you can expect. If it's kept below 50C all the time it'll last for years.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure it will always stay below 60c even when my GPU is running hot. So from all the info i've provided, do you think my CPU will last till skylake comes around?

Hard to say. All I can say is that it a very good overclock at safe levels. Whether it survives is up in the air. I don't know when Skylake will be released. And there are other factors involved in the CPU not working than an overclock. Personally, I've not had a CPU die due to an overclock.

Overall length of time also depends on how many hours a day you're going to run the overclcok. If you don't have to, then you shouldn't The 3570k can look after itself 99% of the time without overclocking at all.

by "running the overclock" do you mean my chip running at 4.7 all the time @load temps?
