I5 3570K @4.5GHZ - is this ok?
Hi,
Recently rebuilt into an intel system from my old AMD 1100T. I've overclocked the I5 3570K to 4.5GHZ using the Asrock AXTU tuner. I was expecting (and dreading) increasing the voltage however I have not needed to do this? Also my temps using the Nocura DH-14 I installed are only about 40 (28-30 when Idle) when playing Battlefield 3, Crysis etc.
Is this normal or should I increase the voltage? Am I getting the benefit of the overclock? I did try to push it 4.7 but it wouldn't boot. Vcore voltage shows as 1.000V in AXTU and clock speed as 4500MHZ in CPUZ. Specs Below
Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
Intel I5 3570K
HD7970 at 1000/1425.
Ripsaw 1600DDR3 RAM
Samsung F something 1TB HDD
Noctura DH14 Fan.
Im new to Intel chips as i've always had AMD so help and advice is appreciated.
Many thanks
