Sabertooth Z77 temp issue

[Barodil]

Hi guys!

I've go a question about my Sabertooth Z77 (all my System Specs in my signature + a picture down below):

Today I played around with my overclock and changed some settings in the DIGI+ Power Control in the bios; LLC Ultra High (75%), Power Response High, Voltage Frequency 400Khz, Power Phase Control Extreme and Fast. My CPU Voltage is 1,368V and I have a quiet 40mm Noiseblocker fan (3000rpm) in the back of the Thermal Armor as intake.

 

Now unter Intel Burntest or Prime my VCore sensor reports up to 80°C while my Vcore(back) only goes up to 65°C. At 80°C I get a warning from my AISuite and I even in the 70s I thought Temp were a bit high.

What do you guys say, is this normal, is I just hot and I should not think about it or am I pushing my board too far? I don't see many options to improve temps, just taking off the Armor or cutting back my settings...

PS: Maybe someone could tell me which options in the Powercontrol I should try because I am still testing how to achieve a more stable overclock...

Turn down Power Response. See if that lowers anything.
