Hi people, I'm a noob at OC. I've got my i7 4770k clocked at 4.6 Ghz (100X46). All cores are at 1.312 Volts. My temps idle at: CPU 28 - 34 C, MOBO 24 -28 C, VRM1,2, and 3 30 - 36 C. I did this using the 4 way optimization button on AI Suite lll. After 3 or 4 hours of Battlefield 4 gameplay the CPU never exceeds 60 C. The system seems stable. I have (3) 120mm and (1) 200mm Antec tricool case fans. My CPU cooler is a Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus (21.2 - 76.8 cfm). I've been told that if the CPU voltage is higher than 1.27 or 1.28 that I should be water cooling but my temps seem ok. What is your advice?
