PC Specialist Vanquish X200 Gaming Rig Review

Stock Voltages and Clock Speeds

PC Specialist have fitted this system with the highly popular i5 3570K, easily the most popular choice for gamers given its excellent balance of price vs performance. As you can see, the core voltage is sitting at a super low 1.120 and the core speed at 4.4GHz, this is a really nice overclock and it speaks volumes that PC Specialist know what they’re doing, but since the system has some really low voltages already and an integrated water cooler we think we can do better.

Overclocked Voltages & Clock Speeds

Here you can see we have upped the voltage to 1.392 (after extensive testing), allowing us to take the clock speed as high as 5.1GHz and this is simply incredible. This is a professional overclock though and it’s not the kind of numbers you want to be hitting if you don’t know how to maintain your system, most importantly due to the cooling solution on this system, while it’s enough for 4.4GHz, you would really want a H100i or Kraken X60 or similar cooler to really keep things stable at these higher speeds.
