i5 4670K Safe Overclocking temps and Voltage.

Hi All! Been a long time since I've posted on a forum but I'm pretty excited to be apart of this one! Exciting stuff getting into overclocking and system building and I'd love to hear some input from all of you here at linustechtips!

 

So I've only been overclocking for a little while and done quite a bit of research into what is pretty "average" for my system to be hitting and I'd just like to know what you guys thing about what is going on within my system. 

 

Currently I'm running an 

 

i5 4670k @ 4.5Ghz cool by a 212 with dual Corsair Sp120 fans 

Msi GTX 760 @ +140Mhz on the Core and +200Mhz on the memory

Kingston HyperX Fury 16Gb (2x8) 

Samsung Evo 840 250Gb SSD

Antec 750W Gold+

 

My biggest question would have to be if I am operating withing safe temperature/voltages for the CPU as well as a decent overclock on my GPU. From what I can tell with stress testing and stability testing, is that it is. 

 

I'd really like to hear what you guys, who probably have way more experience with this than me, think of this? 

 

Attached are a few overclock tests that I was working on. The 4.6 was stable but a bit higher than I thought was necessary

and the 4.8 was just for giggles and curiosity.

4.5 is the current settings.

For an intel CPU, stay under 85C for 24/7 regular use, and stay under 1.4v, 1.3v if you want to be a bit on the safe side

Also if you want to save on your power bill just hook it up to a AA battery. They can easily deliver up to 1.5V  :P  :P

I had a i5-4670k before I jumped up to the i7-4790k, my 4670k was at 4.6Ghz stable at 60ish degrees with a Corsair H100i (voltage at about 1.25v) the i7-4790k is just miles ahead though :P 4.8Ghz ezpz without going over 35 degrees.

Looks good, you can definitely push the CPU more.

Try bus speed 102.5 to 103 and put your DRAM on 1.600V and see if you can hit 4.9-5ghz
