[ADVICE] My first OC CoreI5 3570K Ivy @ 4.4 Ghz
-
Good afternoon to all, I'm new to the forum, greetings from Mexico

I'll share my specs.
Intel Core i5 3570K Ivy
Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
8GB Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz
XFX HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Antec HCG-620M ATX12V EPS12V
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus (double fan)
Artic MX-4 thermal paste usedAfter doing several tests, I managed to have my OC stable at 4.4 with my PC, I had to raise the offset to 0.045, multiplier 44 x 100, and everything seems to work well, I'm not sure if the voltage is too high, temperatures although at one moment it marked 75°C, most of the time it's around 67°C.
The memory is at 9-9-9-27 at 1.65v as mentioned by Kingston on their website for 1600Mhz
If you need the BIOS config images, I'll be happy to upload them.Here are my doubts;
Is the OC voltage not too high?
Why is the voltage at Idle 1.312v and at full load 1.264v - 1.272v?
Is it normal to be always at 4.4 Ghz at Idle (EIST is activated)?Thank you very much for your attention, I hope I haven't asked too many questions ;D Regards!

Activating EIST should lower it to 1600 at idle and the voltage should also lower if you run it by offset but well, if it doesn't, play with the LLC (Load Line Calibration).
-
Thanks for your response Obione, the EIST is enabled on the mobo, in the LLC I have it set to Auto.
I will try with LLC in medium.In Medium it increases the temperature of the processor very quickly, and it stays at 4.4ghz even when idle.
-
Try enabling C-States then.
Man, of course it will increase, it will give you more voltage under load. The thing is that you have to compensate by relaxing with offset. What you shouldn't do is have more voltage at rest than under load.
-
I already lowered the voltage a bit more, what I did was put the LLC on Medium (25%) and the offset stayed at -0.010, (minus 10) the strange thing is that it still has higher voltage at rest, it has 1.264v at rest, under load it has 1.240v - 1.232v. The temperature was reduced by a few degrees, should I keep reducing the offset? or is it no longer necessary, even the Prime doesn't crash xD -
Reduce offset until you have less voltage at rest and if it doesn't last 2 hours in custom mode (min and max FFT 1792, 1 pass/min and all RAM in MB) give it one more point of LLC until it's stable.
-
Perfect, I'll send you the test results later, thank you very much for your help Obione xD, what catches my attention about this OC, is that at 4.5ghz I can't do almost any movement, the PC always freezes, and at 4.4 I have been able to do many tests, Regards!
-
Everything seemed to work perfectly at 4.4Ghz, I'll share my results and photos of what was done.

Temperatures at idle did not exceed 32°c, and under full load using PRIME95 for more than 4 hours of testing did not exceed 73°c, where almost the entire test was maintained at 65-70°c
The Offset method of +0.010 (2 steps up) was used, giving a voltage at idle of 1.008v and under full load to 1.256v (not bad xD)
I attach the images of my bios from my Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 mobo.

I am very grateful to Obione for his advice and wisdom ;D
Best regards! I hope it serves those who are just starting out in the art of overclocking like me.

This weekend I have assembled my new pc configuration with the following characteristics:- COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000
- ASRock Z77 Extreme4
- Intel i5 3570k Ivy Bridge.
- Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 whit boost 3 GB DDR5
- 4 X 2 GB DDR3 TRANSCENT TX2000KLU-4GK 2000 OC
- Corsair Hydro Series H100
And I will complement it with this.. - NOX Hummer M 750W Modular
- 2 x Aerocool Shark Fan 140mm Black Edition
- 2 x SilverStone FF141 Rejilla con Filtro Magnético
-
1.8v, are you sure about that value? Look at the Vcore carefully.

-
I don't see it as bad for 4.4 with a 212 considering it's an Ivy.
-
I don't see it as bad for 4.4 with a 212 being an Ivy.
OK, I saw an H100 in the signature

muchas gracias Obione,…entonces, ¿es un 212 o un H100)
