( Optional ) Advanced Settings
The following are settings you might sometimes need to change when OCing on air or water . There are additional voltages settings not covered here — they are used mostly when trying to hit overclocking records while using liquid nitrogen .
CPU Vcore : Raising this helps keeps the system stable at higher CPU frequencies . However , it also increases the amount of heat your CPU produces . We suggest you keep Vcore under 1.4v depending on your CPU cooling solution . Most CPU ’ s should be able to hit 4.6GHz at this voltage , however CPU ’ s are not all created equally . Some may need more voltage , some less .
Set Vcore to “ 1.25 ” to start . If you system is not stable raise the voltage in increments of . 01 with a maximum recommended voltage of 1.3 .
