ASRock Non K overclocking, high temps.

[Joanna_Hammond]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering what I may be doing wrong, is it safe, etc... I tried the ASRock BCLK auto overclock stuff to reach 4.3GHz on my non K 6700 CPU. But the temps where hitting 70/80C under stress test.

This is the internals of the machine:

As you can see, I'm using a closed loop water cooler for the CPU.

It's currently using Silver 5 TIM.

If you are wondering why a 1080 and 980, the 980 is a dedicated CUDA card for rendering 3D work.

The machine specs are as follows (at the basic perm boost clock):

Auto OC set the vCore too high.

Set it manually in the bios to 1.15v. Should be more than enough for 4.3GHz.

thanks, I'll give that a try

Thank you so much.... Tried 1.15v, intermittent booting so increase to 1.2v. This seems to give consistent boot with no issues. Temps capped out at 58C running a prime95 load test.

Final speed reached was 4.38GHz with a bclk of 129 .

Hopefully not to bad for a non K 6700.

Now for some long term stability testing.

Again, thanks.

Looks good. No worries, with such low temps, if the vCore is still too low, you have quiet a big margin.
