Overclocking problem with h100i

So I have a i5 2500k with asus z77 V LK and corsair h100i water cooling

However when I overclock it to 4.3 ghz with the 1.3V when under load the highest temp is 88C

I already run the stress test for 20min

Is there any problem with my bios setting or cooler problem?

Could be an improper mounting or you might have just lost the silicon lottery.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

But I did not install the cooler myself, It was installed by NCIX

Then its most likely the CPU.

You lost the lottery, which is weird for sandy bridge as they are a beast at OCing.

1.3vCORE can be hot on unlucky CPU. i'd try and lower the 1.3 and test for

stability with AIDA64 or XTU for 30min. the lower the voltage used, the less

the operating load temperatures will be while being stable.

I actually addressed the vcore to 1.25v but when I run prime 95 the voltage shows 1.3 on CPUZ

have you attempted any Load Line Calibration (LLC/VDROOP) use? on Z68/Z77

mobos it was a great de-throttling/stabilizing tool. seems that something is left on

AUTO.
