3570k @4.4GHz 1.216V

Hardware Hub Overclocking
1

Is this even possible, ive seen that people hit almost 1.3v when they overclock to 4.4....

full spec

4.4GHz (100.0*44)

1.216v (+0.015V on offset)

74 degrees celcius

am i doing something wrong?

Ps. I use Prime95 on FFT stress test mode.

Well is it Completley stable ? because if it is it seems you may have just won the silicon lottery.

3

what would you say is considered stable, how many hours of prime?

4

^ I have the same question. My 3570k is @ 4.5Ghz  (1.26v).

Run the Intel Burn test at very high or Max use at least 10 passes maybe more, and if it doesent crash you should be good, you can also use other stress testing programs like Prime 95, LinX ect... and make sure you stress your cpu as much as you can and let it run for at least a few hours. 

If you get no errors/crashes you should be fine

P.s. if you system freezes but nothing is wrong that could just be the huge load on your CPU/Memory, it usually will with something like the IntelBurntest maxed out.

ok, thanks

It is possible. If its stable its stable. Stable means never BSOD from the OC. EVER. I use intel burn test on high twice. Then do prime for 24 hours (no point in priming something that cant even pass intel burn test).

8

Im pretty sure intel Burn Test is actually harder on a CPU than Prime 95.

9

Short burst yes, but prime is much more broad on the test. Puts it under every kind of up and down imaginable. Intel burn test doesnt make stable systems. I have had lots of systems pass intel burn test 10 times, but after 6 hours of prime it fails.

10

im hitting 89 degrees C when running intelbruntest on high...though ive heard its a completely unrealistic amount of stress thats being put on the CPU, so....what should i do...

The temps peek at 75 degrees C in prime95... should i clock down?

11

furthermore, which test is better for stability test?

small FFT or large FFT? (prime95)

12

Small FFT and thats the point, if it can survive something itll enever face it will definitley always work for anything your using it for no problem.

thanks man, i got it running stable on 4.4 at 1.224v :D
