Overclocking I7-3770K

[XaZor^]

ayo!. Ive been trying to see if i could get some extra juice out of my 3770K, and ive followed a guide to overclock my CPU. I got some results that i dont know if is good or not. so i thought i would lay a visit on this forum before doing anything else.

That is my results. If you are interrested in what cooling i got then i got a 

Intel's Liquid Cooling Solution (RTS2011LC)

 

When i did the test in Prime i didnt get any blue screen or crash or anything. Its just im not sure if 100degrees is too high.

 

--Edit-- 

 

The guide i followed was this: http://rog.asus.com/194232013/overclocking/overclocking-guide-4-7ghz-core-i7-3770k-on-the-maximus-v-formula/3/

100c is high 85c is about as high as you want to go

Ivy can get quite hot. I believe I got mine up to 4.5 1.15V at 85 Degrees.

So you think i should lower the GHZ to 4.5? and what about the voltage then? (im not the greatest at OC but i really wanna learn)

Don't take this from me but I believe 1.36 is very high.. I usually never go above 1.2. 

 

But if your chip can take it then why not.

well. i dont know if it can or not. i just followed the guide . and i mean i havnt burned anything "yet"

I can try to put it on 4.5ghz, and 1.2 voltage. see what happens. cant get worse than it is now

The recommended max voltage for Haswell is 1.3V, lower that voltage man.

Allright, ill give it a shot.. so i lower the voltage to what? 1.3? 1.2? and the GHZ i keep or?

Voltage seems a bit unhealthy and temps are def too high (100 Celsius). Lower Voltage a bit and see how far it goes...

I try brb!

okay, so i am back.. i tried to set the voltage to 1.2 and i got blue screen when Windows loaded. So i put it back to 1.3.

 

The results is actully the same tbh.

Your idle temps are way to high, try remounting your cooler. They should be at least 20 degrees lower. The fact that you get the same results is that it's throttling to 2.7GHz because of the high temps.

I tried to use the Optimized Defaults in my Bios to see if that even could keep it at some okay tempetures.

 

This is the result running prime95

Im not sure if i should touch anything else. It runs to 4ghz right?
