Hi there,
Ive been overclocking my 3770k to 4.5ghz with the latest bios 0066 with the Overclocking assistant and just sliding the slider to 4.5. While this has worked great for me stability wise for the past 2 years I have noticed the cpu voltage in HWmonitor is 1.33v & Vcore in cpuz was 1.272v. I recently got a corsair H110i gt liquid cooler to try and bring the temps down a bit but the temps were still fairly high for my liking. I ran Intel burn test and the highest temps were 87, 84, 82, 79 and thats with my new H110i gt. Personally I think these are quite high eventhough I would never hit these temps with everyday use.
I think the reason for this is that through the auto overclocking assistant its raising the cpu voltage too high. Ive read that you can hit 4.5 with 1.25v-1.3v with ivy bridge.
My question is what values do I manually put in to bring down my voltages under the tuning section in the bios to get this thing stable ? Has anyone overclocked the 3770k manually? I have tried lowering the voltage offset from 100 down to 60 but that gave me a BSOD right away when runing prime 95 small ftt...I have also tried changing it to Low Vdroop (performance) and that made my temps go up to around 89 with the 60mv offset
*also just to note from the attachment that there is a missing line over the voltage override which is Processor Voltage override which is set to default....You cant see it in the picture because it hides it for some reason until i go back in the bios
