Stock settings, I7 3570k (custom water cooled) Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB These seem a little under your review postings Again these are under. Temps: Again temps seem a little disappointing. Thanks for your input.
They use a fully reformatted disk hence score slightly more points unless you ran these benchmarks on a totally clean system you are not really comparing the same things.
Try and lower your voltage a bit. My 3770K can easily achieve 4.2GHz at 1.152v with lower temeperatures.
I think your voltage could definitely go lower, I am running at 4.5GHz with an H80 cooler at similar voltages (1.246V)
If your BIOS settings show that your voltage is set on auto then yes. If thats the case ttry lowering it manually.
cheers buddy. Will do. Also, i'm slightly concerned as to why the CustomPC overclocking guide for the 3570k suggest a 1.4v change for 4.8GHz.. That's quite a leap no?
