Hey Guys,
I just wanted to share with you my overclocking test log attempts. I thought it would be a good idea to chart some of the key metrics so to visually see the relationship that forms among LLC Load Line, Offset, Max Temp, and Load Voltage for my CPU. The goal was to find the highest load level and lowest offset needed to run my CPU at desired ratio. Obviously, these results are only unique to my 3570k chip. This is no where near done..but a work in progress...
Few Things To Note:
Red = BSOD in Prime95
Orange = Error in Prime95, getting close to finding some stability.
Green = Considered "stable" by most people.
Yellow = Optimized OC!! or further testing needed in this area to find optimal overclock settings.

My 3570k CPU: takes very little voltage to get a decent "safe" or "standard" OC...however, it runs very hot..even at these awesome low voltage settings.
That being said, there could be multiple factors for why my CPU gets so hot - but that would be pointless to discuss here. In the end, I will probably settle for 4.4ghz or 4.3ghz OC...as it seems like my CPU keeps leaning me toward there.
Hope someone found this helpful or interesting at the least.

Few Things To Note:
- The last time I overclocked was 5 years ago, so I am still learning. Ignore any noobish of mine.

- I realize this data might be meaningless to you – I just thought it was a good idea and found it interesting.
- I didn't decide to record load voltage until much later, hence the missing data.
- If you have any advice, let me hear it!

using stock cooler; idle is averaging 42-47c and at full load it bumps to 80-85c with default no oc:mad: is this is ok? or should i buy a decent cooler or this is the time for water cooling!? also while assembled it i noticed that the thermal paste is quite little ( i compared it to my atlon 64 x2 5000+ way back 5yrs ago when it was plenty of paste)
...
i suspect my memory...how about you guy? if someone have same issue like this pls.
inform me..
