First time overclocking. How did I do?

[TopWargamer]

Right now I have my 3570k clocked at 4.4GHz at 1.2v. 

 

Here are my temps. I have yet to run Prime95, but the temps were taken while I was encoding videos in Handbrake.

 

Did I do well LTT? And could I possibly go higher? Keep in mind that I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus...

Could be a little bit higher, I know a good amount of those can break 4.7 without a sweat.

[the jolly roger]

thats really nice. I think you can hit like 4.7 without having to get the voltage above 1.3, but who knows, after all it comes down to silicone lottery.

[Interfectorem]

Those temperatures look well tamed, I would say you can go further.

Hm, I'll up it and see what I can get.

I'm sure you can at least hit 4.5 if not 4.6. Easily.

[Garuger]

If it still works and not crashes you have done it well . However i suggest AIDA 64 benchmarks for stability testing.Also what cooling system you have? Stock heat sink? water cooling? and how many fans in your case and what size

[TopWargamer]

I'm sure you can at least hit 4.5 if not 4.6. Easily.

But I'll have to up the voltage, yes?

[AlwaysFSX]

Only if it's unstable. Have you tried 4.5 already?

[Garuger]

Depends try it without rising it if it is unstable then raise to 1.4 and keep raising by 0.05 until it is stable(first 1.4 then 1.45 then 1.5 etc )

[TopWargamer]

I have not. I'll go try that now and report my results. 

[AlwaysFSX]

Jack it up to 4.8 and see how it goes.

Not bad at all! Try Prime 95 for an hour or so and see how it goes. Also check how how your load temps are while running it. Try keep it under 75-80.

3570K's do have a wall though. Once you reach it, you'll notice that you'll have to increase voltage a LOT to keep it stable. Mine only goes to 4.2 at 1.225v before the voltage and temps start getting out of hand.

 

Hopefully you'll be able to get higher clocks.

Whelp, I have returned with some not-so-good results. 

 

First I tried 4.5GHz at 1.2v. Did not boot into Windows. Then I tried it at 1.215v, nothing. Then 2.50v, still nothing. So...I have no idea why that is, but 4.4GHz at 1.2v seems to be working fine...

I guess your chip can't clock that high then.

Don't forget to run Prime95 to check stability and load temps at 4.4GHz. Just because it's booting doesn't mean it's stable.

I know. I'll be running it shortly.

No no no you did it wrong you dont go from 1 volt to 2 you steadily increase the voltage . Try 1.5 or 1.6

Um, you'll kill a 3570k with 1.5v. The limit is 1.35v-1.4v, and that's without taking heat into consideration.

Well if you read above it launched at 2.5 and it did not kill it i guess 1.4 may do the trick

I think he meant 1.25v.

2.5v wouldn't boot....ever again!

i dont think so he misstyped look what he said (at 1.2v. Did not boot into Windows. Then I tried it at 1.215v, nothing. Then 2.50v, still nothing.) Either he is lucky or his mobo had good defences

If he did put it at 2.5v, he's damn lucky it didn't boot because I'm sure that's instakill voltage.

Yup lets just wait a confirm from the creator of the post

I'm new to overclocking, but I'm not stupid. Of course I wouldn't go over the maximum safe voltage for Ivy Bridge (which is around 1.5v). No, it was not a mistype. Those were my results.
