Hey guys, random question since I don't have much insight into "silicon lottery winners", but I just redid the overclock on my 3770k and was able to keep it at 4.8 GHz despite cranking the voltage down from 1.2 to .95 volts... This current rig was my first modern system build and after several years is still my main workhorse so I don't have much to compare it to. So did I hit the jackpot or no? Lol

Have you put it under load at that voltage?

 

[Benjamin Bain]

Yup, ran cinebench and did a level in crysis 2. I was thinking about doing a video render in the background while gaming out and checking temps but ran out of time

At .95 volts?

 

[Ben Singletary]

You using something like HWMonitor to look at voltage?

I use CPU-Z to try to show the voltage in real time, and Intel extreme tuning utility for temps and core usage
