I don't want to use adaptive voltage since it sometimes uses more juice than it should. On the other hand im not so familiar with offset still learning about it

What do you guys think about the static VID should I be worried is this normal?

Actually I went with 1.225 4,6ghz stable but i don't really want to push it, I just wanted to know why my VID stays static and doesn't change but my cpu Vcore changes

Okay you are scaring me xD.... I tested XTU 10 hours , Aida64 4-5 hours, prime95. intel burning test. What do you mean blowing up ;D

Hello guys so I overclocked my i5 4690k to 4,5ghz with 1.205v and its stable. I have enabled all power saving features that intel offers like C-state, EIST etc. But I noticed that my VID voltage stays constant but the Voltage Core is constantly changing which is what I wanted, the only thing that bothers me is that my VID is static. I've OCed with manual mode since i didn't like offset or adaptive so much. My question is did I do this right or did I miss something or that is normal? Sorry for the noob questions first time overclocking CPU... cheers

Aye sir will do !

Hmmm I played Witcher 3 a bit on 4,5ghz oced and temps going between 65~73 with longer gameplay, should I be worried?

That is so good to hear ! I also do monthly cleaning but sometimes I'm really lazy because I have an nzxt s340 and all my cables are just shoved in the corner . I'm literaly scared everytime I have to open it cuz I know closing is my nightmare ;D

To be honest I know I could, but 4,5ghz is more than I hoped for and I'm happy with it at this point. I heard that some people couldn't get their i5 4690k to work with 1,250 passed 4,3 ghz. I just wanted to hear from other peoples opinion if 1,205 was safe. really big thanks for response !

Hello guys, It has been a year since my pc was build and I wanted to try some overclocking. Now I managed to go to 4,5 ghz stable with 1.205v on Vcore but I'm a bit scared if that is too high or its actually decent. I've read a lot of forums and people saying that 1.205 is kinda low and as long as I watch my temps everything should be fine. I ran aida64 for couple of hours max temps were like 78~81 running the FPU stress test, on prime95 v 26.6 I got 78~79. Later on I was still not so sure and ran the Intel XTU stress test for 6 hours and everything was fine it passed. I realize that aida64 and prime95 are synthetic tests and not real world performance and that will never happen, for example while palying witcher 3 I got max 50~55c. My question is , Is 1,205v safe at 4,5ghz I mean could I fry anything as long as my temps are good and what about the lifespan am I decreasing much?I want my pc to be alive at least for 5-6 years ;D.

Well I live in germany and i got mine from otto.de , i mean it's not so bad its only during gaming. And when i say gaming i mean intensive gpu applications such as witcher 3 etc. but in cs go for example if i don't go over 160 fps the card doesn't whine, however if i go more than 350+ it starts whining from 1 to 10 i would say 4-5. I'm still in a dilemma , I don't know if I should exchange the 2nd time feel kinda tired of that maybe ill live with it not sure yet..

Well to be honest i got my 2nd 1070 g1 now and it still has some buzzing not as much as before but in games like witcher 3 u can hear it even with case closed but because of the fans working at 50% i don't hear the buzzing only in intensive gpu games. I really don't know if i should return it a second time, maybe i'll swap the pcie cable i heard it also can cause some problems. I got some bitfenix sleeved

I will do the test, I think i have some cheap 500w PSU somewhere that I used for 2 weeks in 2015. I also wanted to say that the card ONLY WHINES ingame, when i switch back to the desktop it immediately disappears, that's what causing my to think that im unlucky with gpu's and it may very be the gpu itself

The thing is my PSU Never whines not even the slightest , I can't even hear the fans spinning. I remember that my 750 ti didn't make coil whine and im starting to consider that im just too unlucky with the gpu lottery...
