Nope, the Vcore is fine :) You could probably push it a bit farther.

I dont know too much about those chips but for a 4.3 GHz OC on a higher end chip like that id say that youre fine. im assuming you have adequate cooling no?

I dont know if im wrong but i think i saw someone running 4.3 on the 3820 with less than 1V

youre probably wrong. im pretty sure you cant get that low on an overclocked desktop chip

That is fine but if you use offset you will get a lower VCore which will in turn reduce your temperatures.

I have to read more on overclocking. I didn't understand any of that :) but thanks guys

My AMD CPU has a 1.3 volt stock Vcore. It's perfectly fine.

 

Use something like HWMonitor to see what temps all your hardware gets.

Mine goes to 130f (54c) with all the fans and the pump on low. It's about 10-15 deg f lower on high.

But AMD and X79 aren't comparable. They are so different architecturally

Sandy Bridge-E can easily take 1.4v 24/7 so your completely safe at 1.2v...

These are 2 completely different CPUs though so that's kind of irrelevant.

I know but 1.3 on most chips is in the highs on most modern chips.

Intel's spec for max voltage on an 3820 is 1.35v, so you're probably safe up to 1.4v.

 

I had my 3930k last night at 1.536v but couldn't seem to get it stable at 5ghz, furthest I've gotten was 4.9, still trying for 5ghz but I don't really wanna go above 1.55v
