Question i7-3930K Overclocking Question

[D0M1N13]

Hello

I just overclocked my i7-3930K to 4.4GHz @ 1.44V and the temps are about 70C - 80C. During the stress test they go up and come down again and go up and come down again. I was wondering if 1.44V is too much @ 4.4GHz? Also note, that I ran the stress test for a long time and it is stable.

My RIG Specs:

i7-3930K
Corsair 16GB DDR3
Asus P9X79 Deluxe
Corsair Hydro H100i Closed Loop Water cooler
1250 Watt PSU
Coolermaster Cosmos II

Hey, I think over 1.35V I would consider a bit high for vcore. You might be able to decrease it gradually to find a sweet spot. That said, I believe the cycling is normal in most stress tests, where it will do some computations and then rest. Depends on the stress test though and the settings.

Vcore is too high I had one and the mine did 4.2 on 1.26v.
