MaximusIV-Extreme Thread

Ahaha okey, good to know.
I'm running mine with the stock 100,3. I had it previously with 100. Thats is barely nothing but I will leave it that way.

So intel's maximun recommended voltage is more than 1.5?
I thought it was 1.35.

And then about your clarification about others cpus, you have tested all of them and have many of them dead, isn't it?
So refering to your experience you found the maximun vcore for each generation, after many dead ones... kill one save a thousen(?)

What I couldn't understand is your last comment, what do you mean with "then continue punishing next one, until ending up with dead cpu"?
Sorry

Thanks for your reply!

No, I didn't kill them all. I would need to be filthy rich to do that.
I just read Intel's datasheets and pay attention what is happening around the net.

My last comment was about people getting used to high voltage CPU that can take the punishment, and then killing low voltage CPU's when using high voltage like used to do.

I'm playing with this...

Apart from being stable or not.
Which to you seem to be a high value and which is a lower one?
There are many options that I don't fully understand what they do, but judging from others settings I end up with what you see on the picture.
What I ealready achieved is 4.5ghz but with 1.290vcore and I think it is a little bit high, isn't it?
Thanks!

It's not so bad, don't worry. There are better CPU's out there, but yours is not bad. It looks similar to mine.
You could try lowering VccIO, if running RAM at 1600MHz. No need for increased voltage at such speeds.

Bear in mind the Intel max recommended voltages are based on stock operating frequency (current draw increases with frequency).

of course, thanks for the reminder.
