my 3770k needs 1.15v for 4.2ghz 1.25v for 4.4ghz and 1.33v for 4.5ghz

my cpu likes volts must be a bad batch for overclocking but my 3770k has been de-lidded and liquid pro applied on the die
im using arctic silver 5 on the ihs and my h60 keeps it maxes out at 83c but my fans are low
plus im upgrading to a h100i soon so im hoping that will help with temps

i have even tried 1.4v for 4.6 but its not stable and im not going over 1.4v for ivy

seems like your cpu is better than mine if your temps are under 85c your fine (that's my safe temps)

just run a 60hrs strait on world community grid at 4.5ghz max temp is 79c with no probs
