Cores are much hotter than I would like but it seems stable. Gonna change the fans on H110 and try with a new thermal paste soon I think.LbN1bDM.png

ambient temp and fan speeds?

Been testing this oc for a bit. Plays BF4, GTA V, Watch Dogs, etc. just fine, no other hiccups to instabilities and a 30 min stability test in AIDA64 went fine too. Temps are maxing around 76-78c.

I desperately want to reach 5Ghz, but my chip seems to shit itself no matter what I do when I bump my frequency higher than this. Will submit proper results once I get a stable oc.

Not bad. I hit 4.8 @ 1.225v stable and I've run xtu for an hour at 5ghz 1.335v

Using CM EVO 212 Cooler - 1.129 Core Voltage @ 4.4ghz - This good OC? I started at 1.2 volt following Linus' video guide but temps were around 75ish so dropped it down and now average at 68.

EIST and C-States Disabled

 

I've also noticed that one of the cores is constantly 4-5C lower than the other 3. Possibly thermal paste not spread out?

 

I got BSOD after running 4 min of Prime 95 v26.6 @ 1.128 Core Voltage. Was curious if I should be worried that it's working fine so far with just 0.001 voltage increment up? In the BIOS I actually set it to 1.130 but seems like the programs are picking it up as 1.129.

 

I've been running Prime 95 for over an hour with the new voltage. Any suggestions on what I should do next to further check stability/thermal?

 

Should I go higher? I read it's not recommended to go beyond 4.4ghz with this cooler.

 

Also the CPU Cache Volt is set to auto in the BIOS, should I leave it be or change it? In AIDA64 it goes from 1.176 to 1.180 and back down.

 

Lastly, what should the adaptive offset be, 0.05? After I finish all my stress testing.

While it was stable around 4.5GHz, my cooling is terrible.

Why not shoot for higher than 4.4ghz if you can keep the temps down? Your temps for 4.4ghz are amazing! I have the same cooler and I just copied your voltage to bring my temps down.

It's not so much 4.4ghz you shouldn't go past with that cooler, it's 1.2v that's the upper limit. Also don't use prime 95, it drives temps up with loads you'll only ever see in prime 95.

I used occt for stress testing, 2 hour runs for final stability tests.

To answer your adaptive voltage question (I'm assuming you'll re-enable turbo and speed step since adaptive voltage would be largely useless otherwise), I use a 0.005 offset with llc set to level 3, works fine for me.

Also, one last thing, any bsod means the oc is unstable, no matter the program used. With 1.165v mine was two hours stable I'm occt and hasn't had a bsod yet.

Used to have it running @ 4.3Ghz, but temps hit 85 which for me is way to high. I set a max of 70 for myself which this is. Don't think this is anything special... or is it? Cooling the CPU with a coolermaster nepton 240. Running on 1.1v atm.

I'm working on 4.9 now as well as some g3258 scores

 

edit: not sure why HWmonitor is showing 4966mhz as the max, it must've peaked that high for a split second or its an error maybe?

Hello , I'm new to overclocking... just finished my 8+ hours of stresstest. With my 24/7 overclocked i5-4690k @ 4.5GHz, 1.2v with 4.2GHz cache ratio @ stock voltage  :P on my little Corsair H100i cooler

 

Is that enough for an entry? Thank you very much!  :D

Hello everyone I need your help, I am new on the overclock section and I want to overclock my Cpu.

I have Intel i5 4690k stock clock + Corsair h110i gt + Asus Sabertooth Mark S + 2x8gb ddr3 kingston kingston hyperx fury sticks + corsair CS750M 80PLUS Gold powers supply.

Where I start ? XTU, bios or Asus software to overclock ? My friends told me that my cpu can overclock stable at 4.6ghz but i think 4.4 is a nice meta for what i need (gaming).

I hope someone can explain to me and give the "right" values to overclock my cpu !

Also can i undervolt my cpu to lower my temps when overclock or i really need to get "high" voltage when overclock ?

Sorry about my english..

For 4.4GHz, you may consider running at 1.2v and leave everything to auto. But before you do anything, it is wise to run the ASUS Optimal setting first, do a slight stress test, say 1 hour, to see if your system is completely stable and every components are in good shape and ready to overclock! As we are using the same CPU, you may as well take a look at my overclocking result, hope this helps you :)

OT:

As my previous stable overclocking result is 4.5GHz @ 1.2v, 4.2GHz cache @ stock voltage. I want to push that for a bit... Say 4.6GHz, but if I leave my cache at 4.2, will that affect my overclocking stability?

Update:

I've overclocked my CPU to 4.6GHz for 1.225v and my cache is 4.4GHz with 1.28v since I have no idea what is the standard of a cache voltage. But here Im stable with such settings, should I proceed to reduce the cache voltage or push to 1:1 core and cache ratio?

my cpu is probably one of the worst samples you can get, I don't care if it fries with 1.35V, I just want a speed above 4.0 GHz
cache is running at 3.8GHz with voltage on auto btw

That is pretty bad. Mine hits a brick wall at 1.3v (1.35v won't even let it do 4.8, 4.7 is this things max). But for 4.2... I want to say I had to push 1.1-1.2. Somewhere in there.

I can hit 4.6 at 1.4 volts but dont want to Cpu stays at 60C. I dont know if 1.4 would hut it for 247 use or not just playing it safe.  I am using a custom water cooling loop for the cpu and GPU.

I have a 4790k in an EVGA mobo. I just set the voltage to "Adaptive" and crank the multiplier to 48 accross all cores and it works pretty well. It has survived multiple Occt runs and Fire Strike benchmarking. For everyday, however, I keep it set to 4.6ghz...

1.4 is generally fine for skylake 24/7 use, I wouldn't go any higher than that as most reviewers have said that 1.45v is pushing safe 24/7 limits

My Core 2 Duo E8400 is overclocked to 4.0GHz with a voltage of 1.2875V, with a cheap Ebay air-cooled heatsink.

FSB multiplier is set to +0.1V and RAM also +0.1V, with my 800MHz RAM running at 890MHz.

 

It has already passed IntelBurnTest multiple times and done a few hours of gaming with no problems.

Currently it's running a Prime95 torture test, which has been running for 20 minutes so far with no problems.

 

I could easily raise the overclock to 4.2GHz without watercooling, but I'm hesitant as to whether my RAM will survive 900MHz speeds.

At it again I got a meager extra 50 mhz out my 4790K. If this could be added to the list. Please remind me if I am forgetting something I haven't posted in a while.
