My system:
Asus Maximus V Formulai7 CPU: 3370k
Samsung Pro 128 ssd
Memory: Trident 16gb (8x2) ddr3 2400
Water Cooling: XSPC Kit D5 Vario, RX360 Rad,
1/2" tubing,
XSPC fan 2000rpm.
1000w psu
EVGA GTX 780 SC

And now I use AI Suite II to overclock (level-up) the CPU @ 4.6,
ROG CPUZ read "Core Voltage 1.328v"

After run Prime95 for three hours, CoreTemp have this temps:
--------Min. Max
Core#0 37c 73c
Core#1 42c 82c
Core#2 37c 81c
Core#3 33c 78c

Are this Temp are Good or Bad temps??
I can't lower the voltage for 4.6 because blue screen apppear.
I try to overclock in the Bios, but the only I get is blue screen or temps on +88c and I stop Prime test inmediatly.

I think this is a very bad i7 3770k. I read people running 4.6@ 1.27 with temps -70c. On CorsairH100
For me is imposible this voltage. 4.4ghz/ 4.5/ 4.6 in my 3770k run on 84c on stable voltage and I have a good XSPC D5/ RX360 Rad.

NOTE:*Is my first time in OC arena (Virgin) !!

Thanks for your help,

Peace!

-first of all IMO, get rid of/dont use asus suite overclocking methods, they overvolt the crud outta your stuff

-though 1.32 for 4.6 isnt TOO bad, you should try manually overclocking to see your clocks yourself
it could be higher, it could be lower

-a lot of people with good temps have delidded their chips, look into that for more information

-and yeah for a custom loop (which i assume you are running) your temps are pretty mediocre i think

-i used the asus z77 overclocking guide at overclock.net as help to overclock, im still working for a stable overclock on my 3770k too

I have a MVE mobo and a 3770K.
Manually overclocked to 4600, voltage is 1.23 v during stress tests! :)
Cooling: Noctua 14cm with 1 fan

NB: In the past year it was much easier to overclock, it seems, I had all set, now I am finding it hard to get a 4800 stable with low voltage like I had a couple of months and BIOSes ago...
NB2: no "OC guide" helps me, the settings just don't work for me. I think they were made shortly after the launch of this mobo family, with the original BIOS.
