I've been looking into overclocking my 4790K, and got to a decent place with it, or so I believe. I was wondering what I could adjust or change to improve my overall clock speeds and performance. I don't care about acoustics, only performance

i7 4790K @ 4.6GHz

H100i GTX with stock corsair fans

MAXIMUS VI Extreme

16 GB 2133 Corsair Vengeance

EVGA 980ti Superclocked

Please don't use XTU to overclock (only to test and monitor).

 

You should be capable of hitting 4.8 or 4.9 (some samples can hit 5.0 with ease at this level) with 1.4V and that's the highest I would go.

 

Otherwise, you could probably get that 4.7 stable at a lower voltage.

 

4.6@1.3 is pretty boring.

Push harder? You are fine up to 85

I got to 4.9 with a 212 evo

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
