Ok slightly worried about my temps now after seeing someone else, on air, with higher voltage, seemingly getting better temps than me!
I have just built a 4770k, gigabyte z87x-oc with an ek supremacy block, a gtx 780 with xspc block all in a single loop with 320 and 240 rads and a D5 vario. My first attempt at overclocking it was simply to up the multiplier to 43 for 4.3ghz. The second I started prime95 small fft's the temp shot up to 100c. I noticed it had shoved the voltage up to 1.39v as well. I quickly shut it down and since then have restricted the voltage to 1.16v as I want this thing to last 3-4 years not 3-4 days! Now still usnig x43 multiplier and restricting voltage to 1.16v I am still hitting temps of just under 80c when under a small fft's prime95 test. I havent really looked at pc stuff for 4 years since I build my last watercooled setup which lasted quite nicely, but I am starting to get the impression something is seriously wrong if a guy on air using 1.272v is getting 74c with the same cpu and same mb on AIR.
Does something seem wrong here? What kind of temps should I be looking at with this setup at say 1.16v (or any other voltage). The graphics card in the same loop doesnt seem to have a problem with temps at all, I have oc'd that to 1228mhz core and 3348mem and using msi kombustor to stress it with various tests its barely breaking 40c!.
