I have achieved an overclock of 4.6Ghz using 1.275V but the temps were under high 80's during testing with IBT & P95.

Delidded my processor used conductonaut as TIM between die and IHS, used Kryonaut as TIM between IHS and Cooler.

Now i was able to achieve 4.9 with 1.475V & 4.8 @ 1.365V & 4.7 @1.295V, average chip i guess.. Cannot go into 5Ghz territory i didn't want to push the processor beyond 1.5V

My temps are now with low 80's during stress testing(Max 83C IBT & 75C in P95) and below 65 during gaming and my ambient is 33~35C.

Is my overclock good for 24/7 or should i reduce my volts. CPU Specs can be found in my signature.

Note: Using offset method of overclocking with C1E Enabled.

Additional question, System is stable at manual voltage of 1.475. When using offset mode it fails in heaven benchmark miscalculating the voltage and causing crashes.

Any other way other than increasing my offset. Tried increasing my offset so that it is fed with 1.495 still it fails in Heaven Benchmark but stable in P95 and IBT.

UPDATE: Got it stable in offset mode by adding 0.330V with my VID (1.169V), reaches 1.52V at full load.

use max 1.4v on the core for 24/7 use (intel specs). its same limit for lga 1156 and lga 1155. However i been running gen1 for a year with 1.45v and didnt lose any performance yet. Could say about 1.425v is the absolute max if you want it to last for sometime.

If you want to use this cpu for up to 1 year then stay below 1.45, if more than 1 year then below 1.4-1.425

I have seen in the overclocking community that voltage is tangible until temperatures are within tolerance, also ivy bridge is build for tj max of 105 and 1.52 as max according to intel spec.

My system won't run on 1.49v 24/7, because of offset OC and C1E enabled. During games it might reach 1.49 as Max and while stress testing it goes to 1.52V.
Using this chip for the past 6 years with stock configuration, just now delidded and overclocked to 4.9.

Is 300MHz difference worth it in games? Voltage is high, i don't think the marginal performance increase is worth compromising your cpu's longevity. 4.6 is excellent mind you, if you want more performance use an app like Winaero to free up resources by temporarily disabling unnecessary processes or upgrade to an i7.

Upgrading to 3770K is a good idea but the used processor price is very high like 140 dollars. If it falls on sale of about 100 then i would gladly buy it. Currently 2700K & 2600K are 100 dollars or less.

2600k/2700k would be an idea too. Don't let the thought it being a generation behind be a deterrent. They overclock just as well and there wouldn't be much difference vs 3rd gen Ivy i7s. Extra threads in games today would be worth considering.

I'll wait for the next sale period and maybe will pick an 3770K or 2700K/2600K based on the sale price.

Also buying a Sandy Bridge saves me the hassle of delidding.

Sorry, had to jump on computer to see your specs, can't see them on phone.

Another suggestion is upgrade to more ram. One of the reasons being is Vram can be a good chunk of data passing in and out of ram, to and from graphics card. With Windows consuming between 1.5~3GB of physical memory leaving you with 5~6ish, the pagefile can be used quite a bit. SSD helps with pagefile speeds but would rather decrease pf usage wherever possible and for your 1070Ti, 16GB ram will be a good deal upgrade. To further investigate this, take a gander at memory committed size in task manager after say half/hr of intensive gaming and read value of xx/xx. The right side is how large the pagefile is on your ssd if left on automatic self managed.

Since the temps were under control, i went walls with the voltage, will take a step back to 4.8 using 1.37V and will use the Winaero for some additional gains. Thanks

Yeah your right intel specs on ivy bridge is higher than gen1, i was assuming sorry. So basically you should be okay to hit the intel max 1.52v since i went way past with my lynnfield (rated max 1.4v)

one thing i noticed when i oc i7 lynnfield i lose about 200mhz when hyperthreading is turned on and way more voltage is needed, so i basically use 4.4ghz for fortnite with hyperthreading off and other games which uses more threads 4.2ghz with hyperthreading on. Just considering you move to i7 which would be the move. I actually might be making pc for my friend with either 3770K or 2600k, is there much difference in oc gains between these 2 (3770k seems way more expensive)?

3770k has a higher multiplier and overclocks more but in reality because it runs much hotter, you'll probably find yourself needing to drop the overclock where as the 2600k/2700k can keep going depending on bin quality of course.

Difference in performance would be splitting hairs with either cpus overclocked between 4.5~5. If price is too much for 3770k then go 2600k and add the difference toward more ram/cooler/ssd or something.

The used 3770k sells for 150 dollars & used 2700k sells for 90 dollars. So i think 2700K is better overall saves hassle of delidding but you will lose pcie 3 and some performance if you can't reach 5ghz in 2700K 2600k is $85 but 2700k is better binned hence higher chance of 5Ghz

I'm gonna play with BCLK now, and try getting 4.89 ~4.875 with max of 1.4V let's see.

Increasing BCLK from above 100.2 results in BSOD, so gonna play at the range of 99.5 to 100.2.

Really nice result, too bad you cant tweak BLCK much on these. I managed to get my gen1 lynnfield and x5675 to about 190 and 210 BCLK.
Just wondering about PLL voltage on lynnfield i actually need to raise from 1.8pll to 2.0v when i hit 185blck but x5675 i need to decrease the pll voltage for higher bclk, so many variables in overclocking.

Maybe you should get an i7 and try to clock that thing to 5ghz, your cooler should be able to handle it. Would be awesome performance boost.

Currently with my overclock i can match the i7 3770 in Cinebench R15 and i don't think investing in a older platform is productive since RAM prices fell and new processors are coming to the market. I'll stick with this processor until it dies and then switch to latest platform. I would get a 2600K if it falls to 50 dollars and below. Thanks.

Yeah those i7-2600k seems to be around 75 euro / dollar range used. One good thing about these old gen cpu:s and motherboards is you can beat them with even higher than intel spec voltages and dont worry about killing the system since everything is so cheap.

EDIT: im running my i7-875k gen1 currently 4.5ghz from 2.9 stock without hyperthreading off its performing great in fortnite which uses only 4 cores, if i turn hyperthreading ON i drop to around 4.2-4.25ghz range. However i need 1.45v to keep this stable which is over 1.4v intel maximum recommended.
Going above 1.45v shoots temperatures very high for my vrm ( i already have a fan blowing towards them), also core temps shoot above 85c ingame its not worth it.
1.475v is my absolute limit since even with 3 fan aio im hitting close throttle limits.
