4.4ghz @ about 77 Celsius average


system:
i7 2600k
asus P8Z68-V/GEN3
16gb corsair vengence
corsair Hydro H60 water cooler

is this good?

Voltage seems a bit high for 4.4 ghz... but every chip is different

I am able to do 4.3 at 1.31 and I know that is below average. An average 2600k should manage 4.5 around 1.3 or so I guess

Looks below average to me. I think most should do ~4.6 Ghz with that voltage.

You have some work to do, high temps and voltage for that one, i.e. my 2500k is running 4.5 at 1.28 and Linpack at 58-63 max.

Try running Intel Burn Test 2.53 and report back the temps. Dont leave it on auto, manually choose 8 threads and set for maximum memory.

This. If prime is reaching those temps I want to see what IBT does to your system.

high for just 4.4ghz im doing 60c average on 4.5ghz but thats on h100 and linx then again imho 77 is high for just prime.

Thanks for the reply guys

lot of people saying this over clock if too hot with too hgih voltage, but it seems to be in line with very similar i7 2600k overclock on overclockers.com

what do you guys think?

My answer depends on what kind of voltage is required for 4.3ghz. If it's a big difference (which it probably is if you're generating that kind of heat with 4.4) I'd go down to 4.3 or even 4.2.

My 2500k currently does 4.8 @ ~1.425 volts (hard to say with the offset) but the temps stay in the low 60s so it's perfect for me.

i rate it 6/10.
