here is my system
cpu: i2500k & Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Heatsink
mobo: asrock z75 pro3
ram: ddr2133
for starters I looked at this guide:
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...Beginners-How-to-set-your-25-6-700K-to-4-5Ghz
and this one:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1198504/...-guide-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-asrock-edition
then I started working on my overclock, but ive got some questions, here are the settings I changed:
multi to 45
Turbo Boost voltage increase +0.070V
offset volt +0.005V
attached is a screen shot of my hwmonitor, and cpu-z
looking at the monitor values i see cpu vcore at 1.320 max... I had expected to see 1.35... and when I raised the turbo boost voltage a little more this did not go up. Then looking at voltages under the i5 2500k portion i see voltages, VID 1.436V
I'm confused by these numbers, I understood from the guides that 1.35 even a little higher was safe for 24/7 use, my vcore is reading 1.32... but the VID is 1.436, is that too high?
whats the difference between VID and vcore?
So far my temps have not gone above 70 C in prime.
