3570k Temperatures

MOBO: Z77A-G43
Cooler: Stock Cooler
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600 Mhz 1.5v
Proc: i5-3570k 3.8 Ghz Turbo / 4.0 Ghz Turbo

So I bought this PC 2 days ago, I've everything in bios set to Auto.

I can feel my CPU is a little bit warm, I'm using MSI ControlCenter that came with drivers disc, it allows me to 1 click overclock, the vCore stays down aswell, never higher than v1.2 even at 4.0ghz super stable.

In the picture you can see my temperatures and my overclock (im using turboboost).

I'm wondering if it's too warm?. Running Prime95 FFS until Test 4 (it takes around 2 mins to get there).

Should I stay with 3.8 ghz turbo boost?.
Please notice that when I play Wii in this PC, my temps are always 55º C, and playing normal games it's under 50º C (using 4.0 ghz).

Edit; when surfing temp is 28º C-30º C, listening to music and some lots of apps running.

Temps look fine but 2 minutes of Prime95 isn't enough to guarantee that it is stable. It should be a minimum of 2 hours. In any overclock that I do, its always better to buy an aftermarket cooler before overclocking.

I'll get a cooler in some weeks i've no cash.

I've been playing for 6 hours at 4.0 ghz and temps never reach 57º C, so it's all k?

Edit;

playing mario kart wii at 130 fps 🙂 60 fp still same tho

It's because stability testing involves stressing it at loads that you would not normally put it through with the assumption that regular programs that have lower loads will be stable. Anyhow, 4GHz overclock is pretty mild so no worries there.
 
Temps looks perfectly fine. Remember IB will first throttle at 105C.

Linpack usually gives around 80-85C with all stock.
 
Needless to say, the Ivy Bridge may well divide over-clockers into two groups: Those who take what they can get without voiding their warranty and doing some "DIY" work, and those who want -- and take -- more.

I assume you made a silly joke.

Any overclocker void their warranty. Unless they bought the performance tuning part extra.
 
I've read somewhere that having 1600 mhz 1.5v ram with 3570k will burn my cpu is this true?

Edit;

3.8 ghz to 4.0 ghz boost performance is over 40% lol

Mario Kart Wii runs at 90+ fps in single player race.

Lol no not true at all. That's exactly the type of ram intel recommends with ivy bridge.
 
My Conroe often hits 80c under load, no issues at all, and IB is rated much higher (105c versus 85c). No idea, why people are getting so freaked out over this. It's not a Deneb.

I've 2 coolers in my cpu.
One at the back taking air inside the case at 2200 rpm max, and other one above the cpu cooler taking air out at 5000rpm

Can you guys link me some i5-3570k temperatures?

Edit;

Life time for that proc w/ and w/o oc at 4.0ghz?

says TCase 67º C oo.o why

Don't pay attention to TCase temp. TjMax is all that should matter to you. Use Real Temp for monitoring. If the chip is capable of running at these temps, then you should not need to worry. Unless for course, you have instability issues.

Measuring Tj and looking at Tc specs. LOL!

You cant measure Tc without a manually placed thermal probe carved slightly into the IHS.

All applications measure Tj.

I've had problems with Real Temp and the three IVB cpu's I've had...a 3770K and two 3570K's. Below is my current 3570k, sort of at idle, and look at the lowest temps RT has recorded from the cpu. Sorta unrealistic as 12C is below ambient and I don't think my H100 is capable of producing sub-ambient temps. (It's nowhere near 56F in the house and hasn't been for months.)

(This is from this morning, about an hour ago):

And I've had very similar results from all the IVB cpu's I've had. But the SB cpu's I've had in the system below, with no other changes, produces more believable temps, esp. on idle.

My system specs:

Asus Max. V Gene
16GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133
3570K @ 4.6GHZ @ 1.28V
Intel 510 240GB SSD (OS/main drive), WD 1GB Black (Storage)
Corsair AX750 ps
Corsair H100 cooler
GIgabyte GTX 670 Windforce OC gpu.....(looking to trade for an MSI TF III)
 
I happen to have overclocked my i5-3570K a few days ago too. To 4.0GHz too ! Very similar. I have an ASRock Extreme 4 motherboard.

The Extreme 4 motherboard has all kinds of automatic features to adjust voltage and other stuff. I didn't want that. I don't want to find the overall max overclock. I only want to find the max overclock while maintaining similar temperatures and voltages. So I changed 2 settings in my BIOS. 1) I changed voltage to "relative - 0.05V" and speed to 40x (4.0GHz). That was all. My voltage seems to stay below 1.16V, like before. So far my system seems stable at 40x. At 42x I saw crashes in several programs within minutes (Prime96 and a chess program I use).

I am running Prime95 now. At 4.0GHz and -0.05V.
Temps of all 4 cores vary between 74C and 80C. Using CPUID Hardware Monitor to look at the temps.
So it seems I am running slightly cooler than you. Maybe the -0.05V is responsible for that. I got 3 case fans (running at lowest speed). And I use the stock CPU cooler. My idle/surfing temps of all 4 cores are between 30C and 40C. Slightly higher than yours ? But then, I use a very relaxed scheme for the CPU-fan in my BIOS setting (setting 1 out of 10).

In the gray area between "silly joke" and a "serious demarcation." Technically, you're 100% correct. I was referring to the "de-lidding" project, which would certainly be obvious as a warranty factor. Ignoring the warranty issue as separate from risk perceptions, choosing to replace the Intel TIM is going to separate OC'ers into "those who won't and those who will."

I was wondering why your temps were so high at so low an overclock and voltage until I read the bold, italic piece....and that explained it.
