Overclocking 3770K at stock voltage - Page 5

Octopuss · Aug 12, 2012, 09:49 AM

The trouble is the cpu cooler I think. When I put my hand in front of the fan, it actually blows on my hand! Most of not all of the air is supposed to be pushed through the pins of the heatsink, but not in this case. I suspect the mounting mechanism (despite being very solid overall) is a bit shitty in this regard. And no, I attached the fan in correct way :P

I was thinking about buying 140mm fan to mount on the upper side, but I am not sure how would it help the airflow as the cpu cooler is pretty much right below the PSU. It's also pretty close to the rear fan, so it should work well in theory, but sadly it doesn't

edit: taking side off indeed lowers the temps by about 5°, but that's not the solution I want.
I also do not use the front fan as experiments showed absolute zero difference in temps.

I would think about these coolers you dont have to worry about heat circulation.

ANTEC 920
THERMALTAKE I have the Performer
CORSAIR Cadaveca has the H100

I know H100 wont fit in your case but a Antec 920 / Thermaltake Performer or Pro / Corsair H80 will be good.

This class of coolers is too expensive. Max I am willing to pay is about $50.

Octopuss · Aug 14, 2012, 03:08 PM

Is it possible the cpu kind of "burns in"? I know I wasn't stable with what I have working right now at the beginning.

Anyway, I don't think I can get better than this:

Yeah, running high temps will dry the IHS paste out over time, so "burn-in" is definitely more real with IVB.

Octopuss · Aug 14, 2012, 04:06 PM

Ah. I thought the paste is supposed to stay... greasy or something. Everytime I was cleaning an old PC, the paste looked like fossilized and didn't look like it was doing much.

My rig is OCed to 4.6 Ghz at 1.2 Volts
All settings at default. Just applied 4.6 at BIOS. C1,C3.C6 disabled

Octopuss · Aug 23, 2012, 11:28 AM

...and?

babdi · Aug 23, 2012, 12:20 PM

And what ?

Octopuss · Aug 23, 2012, 08:11 PM

That's what I asked you.

babdi · Aug 24, 2012, 05:45 AM

That's it. Just gave the info. The Vcore is 1.280 at 4.60 Ghz to be precise.
At stock voltage you cant get more than 3.7 ~ 3.8 I guess.

Octopuss · Aug 24, 2012, 01:03 PM

And we asked for info about your overclock or what?
