4690k @4.4 Ghz 1.288 V.... Is it right?

[Juliogol]

Hi comunnity!

 

Last week I got my brand new 4690k, and I coulnd't resist the temptation and been trying to OC the sucker.

 

The MOBO I am using is a Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z97. It has a lot of OC options, but the only thing that I changed was te CPU multiplier to 44x to get the speed I wanted. I left the voltage option on auto and after lots of testing is pretty stable and after an hour on Prime95 test or so I am getting 75 maximum temperatuires on each core.

 

Thing is that at full load the voltage reaches 1.288... Is it bad for the CPU? Or am I in good range?

 

Thanks for reading and answering!!

i'd say thats pretty good but get it onto manual controll on voltage 

 

edit: made some quick search and you should try it on 1.25 or so 

 

double edit: but idk i dont own intel D:

Thats great voltage.

lol, my 3570K requires 1.4+ V just to get to 4.5GHz.

My 3770k does 1.3 at 4.3.

My 3770k does 1.135 @ 4.43GHz

My 3770k does 1.135 @ 4.43GHz

And it hits 85c with a H100i

And it hits 85c with a H100i

Mine hits 64C with my H100i.....

[Enderman]

My 3770k does 1.3 at 4.3.

EDIT: typo: 1.3 at 4.4. Not 4.3. Oops.

Why does your profile say 1.116v not 1.3v?

 

EDIT- oh i see lol

Mine hits 64C with my H100i.....

 

Yea. Worst batch.

Though it is reliable and runs everything.

thats a crazy ammount of voltage for 4.4ghz.  In my opinion go for the overclock that doesn't offer the most performance but offers the best performance per volt.  For example, I can get to 4.3GHZ stable at 1.18v.  but I need 1.21 to get to 4.4GHZ.  

 

But I keep it at 4.3 because in my opinion its the most efficient.  Now.

Heres what I recommend:

 

Try lower the voltage down to 1.285, then 1.280, then 1.275, 1.270 etc.  Do this until your computer crashes, then I like to change it up 2.  For example if windows crashes when at 4.3ghz 1.75v.  I'll turn it up to 1.185v to be safe.   I was super nervous just last month, now that I know how to overclock.  I'm not afraid anymore

Seems quite high voltage wise, my 4790k does 4.5 at 1.225v

Will try that! Thing is that I can't find the Ädaptative"or "Fixed"option in the BIOS, so I'm wondering if I set it to, say, 1.250 will it always be at that voltage or will it lower if don't needed.

1.3v is the number you'd aim for on air. I run 1.31v personally on my 4690k to get 4.7ghz.

My 4690k sits around the same as yours 4.5@1.29v.
