My CPU just ran for 12hrs at 4.4Ghz with a voltage of 1.32v. Should i try to lower it more?

Nope, having to go back up to 1.32v, tried at 1.3 and no cigar

80 Celsius

100% with SP120s on H100i

Also note that my cache ratio is one to one and if i moved it down to 40 it would probably go to 1.3v

i would take your OC down to 4.4 or 4.3 and try to get 1.3v. With you temperatures you might want to think about deliding your cpu.

Synthetic benchmarks, its fine. I used to have it at 4.5 and ran it at about 90 C. The CPU throttles at 95 which is why i dropped it. It the real world it will never get over 75 and even if it does it not going to stay like that for more than 2-3 minutes
