Pls disable CPU Spread Spectrum

My vcore already touch the redline

Go hunt for golden batch 
Sad that TNB killed your golden chip few days ago.

Looks quite normal. max is 105C so still can go higher. 

I believe insufficient vcore is the reason.
Try bumping up a few notches and that is why stability test is very important here for 24/7 operation.

yes it will crash without BSOD too. Another reason is wrong mem settings.

I think people use memtest86 program to perform ram stability test. Add your desired setting then run test to check. If got error, then setting is incorrect or your ram got problem. Download at http://www.memtest86.com/
Burn .iso to cd or usb then boot at startup.

My 4.5Ghz @ 1.250 7.18 for Cinebench a bit low? Anyone here can tell me your score in Cinebench? 4.3-4.7

Your voltage is pretty close to mine.
I need 1.38 - 1.39v to hit 4.6GHz.

What programs crashed?
Yes, insufficient vcore may lead to program crash.

1) Run your memory at default speed and timing while you find the stability of overclocked processor.
2) Increase your vcore 1.42v and see the programs still crash or not.

Yeap, LinX generates too much heat.
I used OCCT instead.

I suggest you run default XMP setting first and let test finish 100%. I don't find that 'vouvou' thing when running memtest86 last week.

Yes, XMP is the default speed.
I think it is the vcore then. Increase the vcore to 1.42-1.44 and see the programs still crash or not.

Why your test got "vouvou"...?
Just to confirm that, i try run memtest86 on my laptop few min ago. Here is the image. Yours should looks like this too..


At least 15minutes.. Maybe more.

You guys please correct me if i'm wrong

but the wise decision to go for now, is to wait for the next batch, and pray that they replace that cheapo TIM or come up with a better solution.

Guys, when i'm playing game, it freeze and speaker has buzzing sound after 10-15minutes,
3570k clocked to 4.5.

But when i set back to 4.2, the problem gone, so i try and increase the voltage at 4.5? Currently running 1.255 for 4.5, some people here need 1.38.

But i tried to run prime95 2 hours+ no problem, but after that, when i'm playing Diablo 3, it hangs and BLIZZZZZZZZZZZ sound comes from speaker and dafuq, the long dungeon i explored and need to explore again.

Your Load-line calibration(LLC) set to 100% maximum power to CPU right? So now yours 1.41 stable? No crash?

Testing with prime95? tested for how long already.
And by the way, your Cinebench what mark.

So before you set to 1.42, you play BF3 system crash? So now ok already? (So far)

k i try to overclock to 4.6 later and post some benchmark

I sold my Gigabyte Z77M-DSH and bought an Asus P8Z77M.

Excellent mobo.
And I'm still torturing my i5-3570K at this hour.
Here's my Super PI 32M @ 4.7GHz.

P/S Here's my other hardware specs
Processor: i5-3570K
Mobo: Asus P8Z77M
Cooler: Corsair H50 with Arctic MX4 thermal paste
Ram: Corsair Value ram 2x2GB @ 1600MHz CL9 (cheapo of all cheapo rams # VS2GB1333D3)
