raise vcore to 1.45 maybe even a little higher. What do you guys think about the difference between
4.5 and 4.3? I'm thinking not much and keeping my vcore at 1.4 is probably better. Do you guys agree or not?
i use 1.45 vcore for 4.5 daily now without issue. as long as your VTT is within spec and you have decent cooling (running 4.5 at 80*c max load or lower) i personally think you'd be fine. mine runs at about 68-70*c at full load with 4.5 and 1.45vcore.

though there really isn't that much of a difference betwen 4.3 and 4.5 so it's up to you really. if you run 4.3 at 1.4 that's perfectly fine too, though you might be able to get away with 1.38-1.39 range. out of the chips i've had (2 980's and 2 930's) all needed 1.41825vcore to be stable at 4.4ghz so... it's up to you if you really want to run that extra voltage for the 100mhz and are capable of dealing with the heat.
