that is correct he asked for safe so he doesn't have to worry for years, max temp on the 3770k is 105c and I the 1.52v your talking about is max vid tested not max voltage most quides say 1.45v or under unless using subzero cooling.

Absolute safe is 80c max and 1.35v mine stays at 1.35 & 75c max but I delidded

I had a 2600k and don't regret going the ivy route but your ivy bridge with meet or exceed your old sandy. lets say your last sandy did 4.5 your ivy will outperform or match in performance at 4.2 so I would worry. Plus its has pci 3.0,...

did you delid it? did you try to overclock and accidently put the voltage sky high and didn't notice it right away. what made you want to check all of a sudden can you please elabortate. you have an aftermarket cooler and...

the reason your temps aren't that hot it prime is because it takes longer than 15 minutes to reach max temps and also 12 hours min. for stability is recommended

maybe cooler isn't fully secured too much dust build up fan stopped working thermal paste dried up many solutions to look at

try putting llc back to 75% and just up the offset to make up the difference its better than having spiking voltages with 100% LLC, other than what I suggested to tweak you pretty much did it all now it is all up to your silicone. Good...

Amd lacks most in single threaded apps, and the yt? emps typically are lower on amd chips becuase the max temps are usually safe around 60c for most amd chips and itel chips are safe usually upto 80c depending. I had a amd fx8120@4.5...

Set everything back to default, put pll at 1.7v, put offset to +.005v, than change multiplier to 45, make sure llc is at 75%, change phase control to max and cpu frequency to 350, and finally turn off c3, c6 and all package c-staes only...

just an idea when I installed windows8 my asus board had about 2 bios ahead of the one I had and part of the notes of what was done was adding support for windows8.
