1.4 volts 5ghz 9600k safe / decent oc ?

[BootyChief]

Hello everyone, as the title states the lowest stable voltage I can get on my 9600k ( just bought today!) is 1.4 volts. While stress testing the temp goes to 79 Degrees Celsius maximum is that a safe temperature? While gaming it never goes above 63 degrees at 100%.

 

I noticed online that some people are getting 5 ghz at 3.7 volts, are they just trolling or did I seriously get unlucky with the silicone lottery !?

you'd see smoke at that voltage, it isn't an i486 lol

LMAO...….. Your temps are fine so your safe man.  

[Turtle Rig]

Did you say 3.7v  no such thing wtf ?  At that voltage your house can catch on fire dude, I don't know where you got that figure or info from... no such thing.

 

Do NOT pass 1.4v then your really stressing it, but if you have decent cooling you can get away with it.  Once again your temps on stability test and games are great so your set and can join the 5Ghz club.

I think he meant 1.37v

1.35v is more what I'd considered safe, but in the end its temperatures that matter.

Oh my bad ya 1.37v just needs proper cooling and shell be fine.

You can push it even further. I am someone that owns an i5 9600k and I've got a similar overclock, hell I even have similar SSD's to you lmfao. I'm at 1.4 volts and 5.2 or 5.1 ghz. If I push it even further I can get a super stable 5.2 PLUS 5ghz on the Cache. My cache also has a 5ghz OC. My CPU has been running this OC for quite a long while now, granted I have an "over kill" cooling solution for it, the EVGA CLC 280mm AIO but I think you're good to go.

[BootyChief]

LOL i have the EVGA 240 one LMFAO, Yeah I meant 1.37 VOLTS and i am at 1.4 Volts, which compared to other people seem to be pretty bad oc. I always thought the voltage would increase based on a % of its efficiency, but it seems when you hit 5ghz+ the voltage completely changes it's previous actions

I wouldn't run 1.4v very often personally, but as long as you don't have it running like 24/7, you should be mostly fine.

[BootyChief]

I thought the volts only mattered if the temps were high, isn't 65 degrees maximum good ?

i'd keep voltage below 1.4v, even 1.375 might make a difference, just go down to 4.9 if u need, or use an avx offset, voltage currents alone can degrade a cpu regardless of temps, it seems to be anywhere from 1.4v and up, the actual number depends on the cpu and is anyone's guess.

 

I crippled the vrm or my 2600k running 1.42v back in the days after 2 years, temps were always under control

Just for those that are interested, DROPPING FROM 1.4 VOLTS TO 1.375 Results in 10 degrees lower in all stress tests, now maximum goes to 75 Degrees

Probably your ambient temp thats changing otherwise going from 1.4v to 1.375v really shouldn't make that much of a difference. Its most likely your room temp was lower. Also don't go by other people OC. I can get 4.9ghz with less than 1.35v with my memory at 2166mhz no AVX offset. But if I want the memory at 3400 it requires quiet a bit more. Like 1.42v. At 4.8ghz it requires around 1.35v at 3400 mhz. So it really wants more juice for the high memory speeds. 

 

I am on Air. With Ambient around 70c I get peak in the 80c range but average is in the low 70s with 1.42v. This is with MSI Frozr Air cooler. Your temps seem high for air cooler, may be your ambient is high or you might have too much or too little thermal paste. I always do the line method across the heatspreader and I was really surprised with the temps. I wont be running it under that much stress like AIDA64 with AVX but the temps are in the low 70s for me as I said earlier. Even in summer I expect them to stay in that range while gaming.

If your at 1.4V keep temps under 75C

Up to 4.9 (4.8 for some) you usually will need +30mv per 100mhz increase from 4.3ghz but it will most likely have one step needing +40mv thrown in there. But going to 5ghz usually needs +60-70mv. Some unlucky people need +60mv to go from 4.6 to 4.7. Some others only need +40mv to go from 5ghz to 5.1ghz.
You sure about that last part? 1.375V will use 96.4% of the power that 1.4V will use (logically), so unless your running at a VERY high temp way over 100C or your ambient is VERY low (-50C or lower), this doesnt seem logical. And in my testing on my 8700k, it was 3C. 82C to 79C at a 28C ambient.
5ghz at 1.4V is very slightly better then average.

When you start approaching the region of 1.45v you probably are going to experience degradation to a certain extent.

 

But if you're an enthusiast do you really care if your chip lasts seven years as opposed to eleven for example?

At 1.45V with temps around 70C in cb20. Expect a few years at most. You would need temps to not go over 55C for that to be long term safe.
