I would like to get some feedback to see if anyone else has tested and found that Haswell is more sensitive to core temp than other processors they have overclocked. I've been dialing in my OC and I had the system stable [email protected] using ETU, Aida and Realbench 2.2 for 4 hours. Today I lowered the Vcore to 1.27 and it passed ETU but BSOD Realbench. Brought Vcore back to 1.28 for 12 hr test and crashed with Realbench after 10 minutes of running. Tried again...same thing. I had to set vcore to 1.288 to run the test longer than 10 minutes. After checking all my settings I saw that the only difference from yesterday and today was the Core temps. It was 3C warmer. After lowering the room temp I ran it again 1.28 and passed 4 hours of Aida and realbench. I'm currently running a 12 hr test. It Appears that running tests that use AVX the chip is very sensitive to core temp. Is it just my chip or has anyone else seen where a small 3C core temp drop makes a big difference with Stability?
