OC'ing 3570k

[cmdrdredd]

I am running exactly the same 46X103 as the OP with the same load voltage. I am mid-80s with an H100 and two GT15 fans running LinX. I haven't had any stability issues with 103 bclk, but I will try 48X100 and see if it will run with the same voltage and remain under 90C.

What is the disadvantage of running a slightly higher bclk?? Just stability??

Blck controls SATA, PCIe, iGPU, USB etc. So when you run the blck at higher than 100, you are basically overclocking everything.

The Asus temp monitor was an obvious error. It seems it doesn't monitor the actual core temp. With RealTemp and with those OC settings, was hitting 84 high with Prime95 in "blends". The ambient was at 27 deg C.

That is a more accurate temp for sure. That's what I've seen when at 4.6Ghz (100 x 46)
