Not sure what kind of CPU cooling you are currently using on your 170. If it doesn't respond to higher volts well, it then means only better cooling options will help in your case.
Hi, PWMIC temp I guess is the core temp???

I have a TT Sonic Tower with a 12cm fan in the middle so decent cooling for the core.

About the case yeah it was running a bit hot so I put yesterday a 12cm fan in the side panel blowing air to the GFX and the mobo so the system will be cooler now but I don't expect any improvement to the core temp as the 52C with orthos was without the left panel.

I guess not all the CCBBE reach speeds close to 3GHZ

I still having to try 1.5v but I am not happy about running the core 24H at that voltage.
