smesi#498
a follow up on my original benchmark post after having sometime and getting some courage to overclock
4 ghz - 65ºc peak
i didn't want to reboot just to bm back to stock but it was like 220 fps lol
4.5 ghz - 70ºc peak
4812 frames 19.545 seconds 246.20 fps ( 4.06 ms/f) 30.738 fps variability
both of these used the auto voltage
tried getting to 4.8ghz with both 1.250v and auto voltage and everytime i ran the stress test in the intel tuning utility it crashed so it was def not stable
might try to get to 4.8 in the future but i'm happy with my 4.5 oc atm and don't want to risk it rn with 4.8, let alone 5.0 or above
also there is a chance of my case and everything inside it being dusty and i only have an outtake fan so that might've affected my thermals
