Hey guys
. i currently have an i5 3570 (non k) in my sig rig. Before i continue buying the non k was an accident i massively regret but wutcha guna do... After much research and asking on the forums, people have said the overclock is limited to a max of 4.2 ghz, with an attainable 4.4ish overclock including the BCLK overclock. For some reason my cpu will not pass 4 ghz, my goal being 4.2. In the bios i can set my cpu ratio to 42, and it works fine, but after testing it will never pass 4 ghz no matter what i tried. So after being stumped for months, i said screw it and went for a bclk overclock. ATM im at 106, and my cpu is running 4.24 ghz totally stable, with 71 being the highest temp i saw after a long time of prime!
I understand that bclk overclocking is more risky than other kinds, but in my case the other kinds just werent getting it done for me, so i was forced to do this. also, with new mobos and cpus, hurting your cpu through overclocking, even bclk ocing, is near impossible. the biggest risk is corruption, and artifacting of windows.
So for reference here's my specs if you too lazy to look at my sig ;p.
P8Z77-V LK mobo
i5 3570 non k @ 4.2 106 bclk 40 multiplier
H60 water cpu cooler
So my question is, should i push it farther? i've heard after 106, your kinda in the danger zone of bclk ocing standards. Thoughts? should i push it to 107,8?
Also ATM i have voltages and offset on auto. I know everyone here will say NO AUTO ERMAGHERDD NEWBBBB. which i totally understand ;p. I'm more than competent enough to set this up myself, but after i finally got this thing running good and stable im scared to change stuff
ATM under prime95 my volts get up to 1.34ish most of the time sometimes 1.38. From what i have seen that;s pretty high for a 4.2 oc. I've seen people running 4.5 oc on 1.2 voltage. My temps are fine though which is also why i dont feel the need to touch it. under hours of prime like i said the highest i ever saw was 71C. Thanks!
