Overclocking 4690K with Hyper 212 evo?

STiJtu
Go to solution Solved by Chronos5618,

I wouldn't worry about overclocking straight away. Put more money into the graphics card and CPU, then 6 months down the line invest in a good cooler. I can vouch for the H105. Superb cooler. I have the 4690K and overclocked to 4.8GHz at 100% load it just brushes 70. At a 4.0GHz overclock, the temperature barely shifts from 30. However, that does depend on the quality of the chip, which various from batch to batch. Fingers crossed you get a good overclocker.

I'm building a budget Pc for Graphic Design, some 3D rendering amd 1080p gaming. I figured a 4690K would be better than something like a 4460 for rendering and stuff, but I'm taking money off my GPU budget to get a cooler and better mobo for overclocking. Would a Hyper 212 evo cool the 4690K after 4.0GHz oc?

i would get a h100i of a h80i but the evo is a good cooler that should be able to over clock some what

Yes it should be fine, you can always do a lesser overclock and buy a better cooler later to overclock further if the temps are too high

 

That said, how much better a 4690k will perform over a stock i5 is hard to say, it might not make THAT much difference

 

Also check which programs you are using, some favour nvidia GPUs for CUDA acceleration, etc

Easily.

 

You'll be fine until you get around 4.3-4.5GHz depending on how good your chip is.

I use mostly Adobe products with Cinema4D for 3D rendering if you know what works best. Thing is... A 270X performs similar to a 240$ GTX 760 in games, saving 50$ seems like a good thing to me .

I want it to be cooler when oc'ed than the stock cooler with stock clock speed.

Budget -> spend more on GPU/CPU rather than cooler/case, etc...

if you get the good thing now you will not have to buy a new cooler tell it breaks, and the h100 and h100i will last for years

Confirming that small overclocks are fine.  See below.

I've got the 212X as I couldn't afford an AIO in my budget.  Anyway, got the system set up last night and ran the 5-way ASUS optimisation tool that's part of the Z97-A mobo (lazy I know).  Processor now boosts to 4.6Ghz easily and stays around 55 degrees C when gaming (in Skyrim, although that isn't anywhere near full load.  Have yet to test anything else).  Your mileage may vary depending on your case's airflow - I've got 4 fans pulling in air with the 212X and 2 fans exhausting out the top, so I've got some pretty solid airflow happening.

I've got a 4670k, nearly the same as your 4690k, and the Cooler Master 212 Evo works great in the 4.0-4.5 GHz overclock range. I personally ran mine at 4.4GHz stable with a 212 Evo for about 8 months or so. Would see 45-50 C under gaming/real editing/rendering, and 65-70 C when synthetic stress testing (mainly Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility). Would easily recommend if you intend on overclocking some on the cheap.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!
