Hey guys, I just built my new system as of a week or two ago, and I've been having some minor difficulties in trying to overclock it. I'm able to hit 4.6GHz which I think is stable at least running for 10 mins. I would do a couple hours stress testing if I can't hit 4.7GHz stable but that's what I'm aiming for.
Here's the background; I have 2 different OC profiles set up for trying different approaches. The first method was to keep the vcore on auto while upping the multi, and the other was undervolting then upping the multi while increasing vcore to make it stable. As of right now the latter approach is what i'm ironing out as it has a lower voltage so far. The voltage is set to 1.23 I believe in hesitation that 1.22 caused crashes of some programs. I've left the cpu pll voltage on auto for this particular test. However in the first approach i have the cpu pll voltage set to something like 1.443? I'd have to look when I get out of work, and the voltage at 1.33. Both set at 4.7GHz. Both have 100% load temp of around 85 and get up to 90 once in a while. I would like to get the temps a little lower, and obviously the best way is to trade out a better cooler. However I was reading on someone else's post and they said you could lower temps slightly by lowering the pll voltage?
My question is, is this true? The guy had a pretty complicated yet easy to use OC guide and he looked like he knew what he was talking about. If anyone wants the link i'll post it happily. But I also want to know if there's any other ways I could decrease the temps of this by lowering any other voltages that are safe? I don't like being in the 90 range, i'd like to top out around 85 if possible. This is also my first time overclocking really. I've had experience in increasing the FSB on an amd system with an older MSI board, but this new rig is ALOT easier and better. So be easy on me with the terms and stuff
