I'm pretty sure you have a better chip than I do to achieve 212 at such low voltage.. Not to worry, Intel says that chip is good to 1.5 volts. I read somewhere that even above that you won't hurt it (as long as temps are good). The Asus board has good cooling as well, so I'm pretty sure you're good to go. I take it you're not using Turbo? To do so you'd have to set CPU multiplier to Auto and enable C states in CPU Configuration, under Intel PPM.
ckelley, not much difference in FPS, but probably yes in BF4.. Mild overclock? Raising Bclk from 133 to 200+ hardly seems mild..
Chip seems to be good to me. This chip is honestly WAY more QPI dependent as opposed to vcore. I just bumped my vcore down to 1.25 with QPI 1.337 and been stable for almost a hour at 3.8.
After I find my sweet spot at 3.8 im going to test 3.7/3.6 and see how low i can get it to be stable at.
What are my advantages/disadvantages of using turbo?
