Best CPU cooler for €100 / under €100?

That's great. Is it stable? How long did you run the benchmark for?

Your actual vcore is around 1.2v, it was as high as 2.16. Your temps were pushing 61c as well on some cores but it's still a great result assuming it's stable. You should be trying to get your voltage setting in windows to match your bios setting. I think the load line calibration deals with this.

Vcore is the actual voltage going in to your chip. VID is the voltage 'requested' by your chip, based on the current workload. I.e., at idle VID will be low and under load it will pop up to a higher value. At stock, your Vcore should be close to VID at idle and will "droop" below VID at full load. That's perfectly normal. Setting LLC to more aggressive levels will get the Vcore to track VID more tightly.

When you overclock and set the offset voltage, the offset only affects Vcore (not VID). So they won't match, but that's on purpose. If you set offset of 0.01V, that should push Vcore up by 0.01V relative to VID.

Yes, that's the whole point of the offset voltage - to increase/decrease the Vcore compared to the VID. At a given clock (say 4.8 GHz), there's some minimum Vcore required for your chip to be stable under load. You should be tuning the offset to find that minimum. Generally you want to run you chip at lowest stable voltage possible - low volts are good for chip health and lifespan, but not enough volts and you're not stable.

I really hope 1.8v and the higher numbers are typos....that would electrocute your cpu instantly. Probably you can't even set it that high.

Sounds like 4.7GHz is your sweet spot. Every chip seems to go up to a certain level pretty easily, and then there's a barrier when you need lots more voltage to go any higher. 1.24V and temps under 70C in prime is good from what I hear. Nobody can guarantee safety of any overclock, but those are pretty sane numbers. Just be sure you're reading your max voltages and temps correctly. There's a lot of other voltages/temps in those monitors that are lower but not relevant.

For LLC - usually there are different levels of LLC. I have a gigabyte board, they're called stuff like 'normal', 'turbo', 'extreme'. For Asrock I think they use numbers, with 1 being the most LLC ('extreme' for me) and bigger numbers being less. You can google around and find out easy enough. Anyway, the most extreme LLC should make your load voltage very close to VID+offset. If LLC is off, you should expect load voltage to be quite a bit lower than VID+offset (that's the 'droop'). You can temporarily go back to stock voltage to play with the LLC levels if it's not stable.

Most people seem to use strong levels of LLC when overclocking, but it's a bit of an art as you'll have to shift the offset to compensate different levels of droop. I think the downside of strong LLC is that it makes your VRMs hotter. (Yes, more temps to worry about).

I'd say don't sweat it too much if you're already hitting 4.7GHz at 1.24v and < 70C. I'd be happy with those numbers.

It's def above average man, about 200mhz higher (even 300) than what most people would see at that voltage, you're doing well.

Here's a friend of a friend's golden chip.

Being cooled on a Macho HR02, so only slightly superior to Hyper 212 in cooling performance.
