i7-4790k Overclocking on a Hyper 212 EVO

[Redfern]

Hi, I am getting an i7-4790k for Christmas and an Hyper 212 EVO and wanted to ask the question what kind of speeds should I be able to get up to and the temperatures. Thanks in advance

id be looking at around 1.2v at most with a 212 evo. it runs hot. but its difficult to predict speeds.. you have to find out yourself.

The 70k Is the one that runs hot.

yeah they improved on tim with devils canyon.. but it doesnt stop the fact it still runs hot..

i wouldnt overclock on a hyper 212 evo if you want air cooling go with one of noctuas heat syncs or if you want water cooling go with nzxt 61x

Instead of 212 evo see if a BeQuiet! Is running around the same price. Pure Rock specifically, it is a bit quieter and temps 5-10Degree C

I have found this but I don't like the look of how the fan attaches, but will this run quieter and cooler? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/be-quiet!-pure-rock-bk009-cpu-4x-heat-pipe-cooler-with-120mm-silent-pwm-fan-for-all-intel-amd?utm_source=google+shopping&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CjwKEAiA7MWyBRDpi5TFqqmm6hMSJAD6GLeABkNwQvz5YpC3HDweYcoj093mKtnXDtNnFtcu4UcRUhoCKgHw_wcB

Ran a 4770k on a 212 Evo and was safely going up to 1.28v for 24/7 usage. You can overclock fairly high with that. It's a perfectly capable cooler for these low TDP chips. We're not talking a 125W+ FX CPU here. If you already have the EVO, you can still reach a fairly high overclock on it, although not the highest. It'll be 0.1 GHz to 0.2 GHz slower than something like an NH-D15, but hey, if you want to spend another $80 for 0.1 GHz go ahead.

 

If you really want something better without breaking the bank, currently I would recommend this for $50:

How many degrees do you get on prime95?

I didn't use prime95. I used Aida64 and it maxed at 78.

Doesent really run unusually hot.

i ran a 212 evo on my 4790k and was able to do 4.6ghz all the time and easily benched and even gamed at 4.8ghz if i had my fan speeds up high. My nh-d14 wasn't that much better, about the same speeds, just a few ° cooler.

Im running that setup with two SP fans strapped on it. I hold 4.9 and sit around 70C

The issue with Haswell running hot was due to poor heat transfer from the die to the IHS.  This was a problem internal to the CPU regardless of how good your aftermarket cooling solution was (which is exactly why it was such a PITA.)  Refresh improved on this significantly.

 

Given the low price of the Evo 212 it certainly is worth trying to OC with it.  With a decent lottery result - ie. a CPU that does not demand excessive voltage in order to get stable - it should be fine within reason.  

 

I have two 4790k's, and temperatures have never seemed to be the limiting factor of overclocking - voltages demands jumped up to uncomfortable levels long before temps.

Yeah thanks, hopefully I'll get a good chip! I brought the be quiet Dark Rock Advanced C1 on sale yesterday for £30 so hopefully lower temps and noise:)

It's also due to FIVR.

 

Just because the tim on the 4790k is better doesn't make the TIM used any less crappy.  People are still seeing 10+ degree drops from delidding devils canyon.

 

But yeah on a 4790k usually you hit voltage limits before temps are an issue with a decent cooler.
