I've begun my manual overclock. Nothing big, just a 4.2 goal. I'm using:
Asus p8z68 pro gen 3 mobo
G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (1.25v)
Phantek PH-TC14PE 140mm Heatsink - model PH-TC14PE
Corsair TX850 V2 850W power supply
CPUZ
Prime95 v 27.7 - small fft
Real temp
CPU Current Capability - 140%
Phase and Duty Control - Extreme
EPU Power saving - Disabled
VRM Frequency - Manual - 350
LLC - Ultra (4/5)
I set the vcore to 1.25, run the prime 95 small fft test for several hours (while at work or asleep), then bump the vcore down.
I've now tested 1.25, 1.24, 1.23, and they are stable.
My question so far is about VID. In realtemp, regardless of what vcore I set, the VID shows 1.3811 under 100% load. The offset is obviously negative, but with it being that large, won't my system crash at idle, or whenever it ramps up to load? Also is VID suppose to scale with vcore maintaining the same delta?
