Did I get a good chip?

So I was refining my overclocks and pushing my CPU a bit further and I got 4.8Ghz at 1.31V on my 4790k, is this a good overclock and how much further do you think I could push it?

Pretty good ~ you could possibly take it to 5Ghz while still staying under 1.4V! Good Luck! :D

is 1.4V the max recommended voltage? Also with my temps when running aida 64 i get around 80-90C but when gaming or rendering I only get 70C so should I ignore the aida 64 temps?

1.35V would be the max recommended voltage, depending on the temps. And judging by yours I wouldn't push your chip any higher.

Do not ignore Aida64 temps. 90C is a bit high but you MAY be able to squeeze a bit more out

1.35V is recommended maximum voltage. Going beyond 1.4V is never recommended. 80-90C is high for Aida64 but if rendering only peaks at 70C ~ you can get a little more out of your CPU.

Ok, I will stick with what I got which seems to be pretty good until I can get some decent fans on my h100i and maybe move it into an area with more airflow.
