Overclock vs voltage vs temperature

Enderman · May 28, 2014

Hey everyone

I wanted to share a couple pics of my overclock/voltage. As you can see, my 3770k @ 4.43GHz only uses 1.12v. What many people believe is that the higher the overclock the higher the temperatures. Not true. The higher the voltage the higher the temperatures. Some overclocks are very mild but require lots of voltage to stay stable. Others can overclock easily with very little voltage change. This just depends on the particular CPU that you got, and how lucky you were.

Now the 60*C you can see here seems pretty decent, right? But the fact is that it is only being cooled by an H100i, with airflow optimised fans running at 800rpm.

Have you guys come across other cool/impressive feats in your PC adventures? I know some guy on the forum (i forgot your name sorry) had an old intel CPU at 5GHz or something ridiculous

My voltage is higher than it needs to be to keep my clock stable but I haven't had time to tweak it yet.

The Goods:

Intel Core i5 3570K @ 4.0GHz 1.19v

Idle Temp: 30-33C

Prime95: 70-73C

Cooler: Stock

I should see if I could lower a couple of my voltages my NB voltage is at 1.3 I believe to help with my ram overclock and my CPU is at it's stock of 1.45v so I'm not sure if I can lower that but I'll mess with my RAM
