Weird OCCT readings

KaareKanin · March 5, 2015

Hi all,

I never really tried to OC my 4670K until now, but I figured I'd give it a shot (kinda stupid having a K CPU and not overclock). I tried an OC of 4,3 @ 1,25V, started OCCT Linpack and ran it for 15 minutes before getting an error telling me that core 0 hit 127 deg. C. Weird thing is that OCCT didn't read any temps on this core at all until all of a sudden when it shot up in no time

I had HW Monitor running at the same time, and it reported no higher temps than 84 deg. C on any core

So what do you esteemed ladies and gentlemen think?

Also, since I'm a noob at this, what's the difference between the Linpack and OCCT tests?
