Now that I got El Capitan installed and my fans are working well, I have been testing my overclocking speeds again. I am running a Corsair H60 H2O cooler with a i7-3770K. Running a torture test or coding a long movie in handbrake it is staying in around 61 C using the Intel Power Gadget. I stopped using HWmonitor since it was killing my CPU fan. It seem like the temperature is staying really low. I am going to try 4.3GHz next.

Can I trust the temperature in Intel Power Gadget?
Interested in hearing from others running similar setup on how high you running?

I have the same processor running at 4.8GHz. I have been running it at that speed for four years now.

Can you share the Ai tweaker configuration? I would be great to have that stable speed. I have 3770K in a z77 sabertooth with corsair veagance ram

Ok, I'm away for the holidays but will post it when I get back. Also be aware that what is stable on my setup might not be on yours, Im using a different motherboard. I recommend you do some tweaking and testing in windows. Thats how I came to find the settings that worked best for me.

Thanks a lot, I´ll do, and I´ll use your tweak as a reference.

I'm able to boot into EUFI bios BUT the Temp is maxing out at 100'c using a Corsair H60 Liquid cooled system, it should be 32'c like in the bios of the build video linked in my profile and at base of my post , CPU FAN shows as running, case fans running, used proper Thermal paste, I use a Corsair H60 liquid cooler with a single fan mounted in the roof section of the metal tower that is vented, but need to check that its working as it bolts onto a mini fridge like grill I can't feel if the fans working or not. In the bios it shows 3 fans working CPU, and 2 sys fans, But I have 4 fans in total, there are 2 fans on the front grill supplied with the case a Phantek Enthoo Evolve Midi Tower USB 3 that I am sure are running off one power connector, and one at the back all working but all showing different speeds. I only used a thin layer of thermal paste. The output air is cool from the back of the system and hasn't shut down. Shows separate Core temps of 88'c. Any tips appreciated.
