I7 9700K 5.2 GHZ (Voltage good?)

[Cemil2565]

i oc i7 9700k to 5.2 ghz all core, i changed voltage and tried 1.44v ,1.47v,1.48v,1.49v

1.49v was stable, i dont really know too much about oc so, is this ok ?

also when pc idle, when 1.2ghz or so does it consume 1.49v or does it go down when not needed ?

also last, i have 2x 8gb 4266mhz ram running at 4000mhz, does higher ram mhz effect oc of cpu?

What are your temperatures like?

arround 75-80c(max 92c(i dont really use cpu on 100%) 140mm fans 1100rpm

1.49 is pretty excessive. personally I'd walk it back, voltage degradation is very real in that range.

 

Generally speaking, OC experts advise 1.4 or less for 24/7 overclocks on intel.

doesn't matter what the temps are at that voltage, unless you are using it for only a year, do something like 1.4v max, 5.0 for everyday use.

Agree here, especially the degradation part. Click down that voltage and find a stable OC.

cant it handle for 6-8 months at 1.49? it only goes to 5.2 at gaming, idont really stress(use) my cpu 100%

i readed on reddit that 1.6v does effect cpu deg. 1.4 safest for daily, iam between it

But do you want to fry your chip in less than a year? You must be rich then :D. The performance gains aren't *that* big afterall, you know?
