ya bad huh too high vcore and my room is hot also, but how often we run full load
i worried more on my GC compare to proc ... now just wan to find the 'magic' number for my 4.5ghz to stable

just to ask, which measurement will be the correct one for the temp?

the core temp and CPUID hardware monitor show similar temp but asus one show significantly lower @_@

yup..but i did check my vcore not too exceed 1.4 at least...

Guys, my 2500k running at 4.6ghz at vcore 1.4. Prime stable 8 hrs. Is the vcore too high?

1.4V at 4.6GHz is too high.

My I7 2700k at 4.6GHz (not I5 2500k) now only runs at 1.33V using Manual Offset +0.060V

hey there,

i have i5 2500k instead of ivy bridge for z77 mobo as its proven for now that 2500k is more stable than ivy during overclock.

my system is as stated in my siggy, can cm 212 evo do a nice enough cooling job to 4.5 GHz?

MSI event : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2324007

as long as ambient temp is cold/ not so warm, then its enough.
just make sure the temp not going over 80'C

What to do. Anything below that won't boot.

if you can keep the temp below 80'C during load then its consider safe.

when running prime it is below 80C, but when running IBT max temp 93 with average of 80 plus. Using Noctua D14 paired with 2 GTs

I have also tried 4.8Ghz at 1.488vcore (max load). Prime stable. But dare not try IBT

time to move to WC 360 + aircond room

actually what software u use to monitor?

i use CPUID Hardware Monitor it show 10 degree higher compare to using asus one @_@

i OC to 4.5Ghz full load asus showing 60+ but CPUID Hardware Monitor show 70+ @_@

Actually, i am kinda shocked to see my temp is so high despite using the "king of aircooling". Perhaps it was all hyped up

Use real temp. it reads your distance from TJmax

core temp, real temp and CPUID Hardware Monitor show almost similar temp reading. asus software still showing about 10 degree lower ... @_@

ASUS software reports 10'C lower than the actual DTS temp, this is a well known issue for ASUS bios.

Core temp is not the same as CPU temp.
Asus like other brands of mobos usually will report CPU temp. Core temp is more important here.

im so hoping that asus one is the correct one ...

i try to set the multi to 50-53 but apparently cpuz in the windows still show 100 X 49 = 4.9Ghz only..
end up with increase the fsb to 103... any advice?

Sounds abnormal. By rights the BIOS wont down multi to 49x automatically for you if failed OC. Try updating BIOS, uninstall MSI OC Utility or put the CPU on other mobo and see how.

It's an ES maybe a rejected chip & capped at 49x LOL. I also saw someone selling 2600 but unlockable like 2600K.

i didn't install MSI OC utility.. ok will try on fatal1ty Z68 tonight
