Im trying to buy a little more time before I upgrade my cpu.
I managed to get my 2600k to 4.4ghz by using a +0.05 offset with temps at 55c-63c during heavy gaming and high 20's at idle.
1. CpuZ shows my max VCore at 1.272 during prime95 small fft's
Imo, its not worth the extra few hundred mhz to quickly degrade my cpu.
What's a safe VCore for ever day use ?
I hear no more than 1.35, but others say as high as 1.45
Id like to stay below 1.3.
2.I noticed my the vid goes higher than my max VCore.
HW monitor shows my max Vid is 1.391 (Thats a little scary to me, but Im still kinda of new to this)
Is the cpu is receiving what the vid shows or can I safely monitor the actual VCore with hw monitor and CPUZ ?
Fyi: My cooler is a N520 http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/hyper-series/hyper-n520.html
Thanks for any help
