Hey everyone. I'm a bit worried about my 3570K, I feel it's not too good of an overclocker.
Currently I'm running at 4.5GHz with 1.285v, anything shorter than that and games will randomly CTD. I've seen around the internet reviews saying that 1.25v should be more than enough to stable 4.5GHz, and some even achieving that with 1.21v, either I got a rotten luck or I'm doing something wrong.
Strange thing is, I tried running IBT at 1.23vCore with LLC at Extreme and it went through standard burn in flawlessly! Running games or even just doing Windows Experience Index will result in crashes or in worst case freeze.
I've also placed up a few notches on PLL and VCCIO voltages because, whilst playing Torchlight 2, it crashed once with stock PLL and VCCIO.
So, currently:
vCore: 1.285v (Extreme LLC)
vPLL: 1.8375v (from 1.80v)
vCCIO and vCCIO 2: 1.075v (from 1.05v)
What do you guys think? I have quite the experience in OCing old Core2s but these are all new to me.
