Posted September 2, 2014 hey, should i set myself an overclocking limit with voltage or heat? because i have an h100i cooler and it keeps my cpu below 85C with about 1.4v(during stress tests,during gaming is much lower), or should i limit myself by voltage?

Posted September 2, 2014 Id say temp. REMEMBER TO QUOTE SO I GET A NOTIFCATION! Add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Shroomster/ Review(s) more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 2, 2014 1.4 volts is pretty high || MAELSTROM || || i5 3570K W/ CM 212x @ 4GHz || r9 290 Windforce || Corsair Obsidian 450D || 2tb HDD + 120gb 840 evo SSD || 2x4gb Hyperx Fury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 2, 2014 As the voltage will go down when not max usage. If you stress test much then maybe voltage limit. REMEMBER TO QUOTE SO I GET A NOTIFCATION!

Posted September 2, 2014 aslong as your temps dont hit into the 90s frequently you are fine. for haswell i would not go further than 1.4v. i cant even use 1.4 because of my personal thermal limit on the cpu lol i run 1.35v and get to to 90-95 in benchs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 2, 2014 1.4 is quite high for haswell... id maybe limit the voltage to that, or even 1.375 rather "Unofficially Official" Leading Scientific Research and Development Officer of the Official Star Citizen LTT Conglomerate | Reaper Squad, Idris Captain | 1x Aurora LN Game developer, AI researcher, Developing the UOLTT mobile apps G SIX [My Mac Pro G5 CaseMod Thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 2, 2014 I'd stop where you are, 1.4v might already be too high Don't ask to ask, just ask... please sudo chmod -R 000 /* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 2, 2014 Author i imagine myself changing platform in 3 years or so, i'm pretty sure that 1.4v would not kill the cpu until then, i game 4-5 hours a day and rest of the day the c-states take down the voltage anyways...(i shutdown the pc at night) more thoughts?

Posted September 2, 2014 1.4V is pretty high, but if you have adaptive voltage on, it should be fine. I'm betting that your voltage doesn't go that high during most usage (even gaming), so it should last for 3 years. In your case it might be pushing it, but I've heard very few people posting on this forum that their overclocked cpu died (even though it supposedly reduces lifespan). e.g. my Q6600 overclocked by 1GHz is now 7 years old and still going strong, although I rarely use it now.

Posted September 2, 2014 well that sounds like a golden chip...(well more like a diamond chip :lol: ) she goes alot higher to but i dont know much about ocing to make its more stable everything is on auto but core voltage CPU:I7-4790K @ 4.8ghz MOTHERBOARD:MSI-Z97-G45 Ram:G-SKILL SNIPER 8GB 1866 GPU:Msi GTX 970 4G COOLER:PHANTEK PH TC14PE BK 3 FAN CONFIG PSU:Roswell Lightning 1300W HDD: 1TB WD, 2TB SEGATE Mushkin 120GB SSD CASE:COOLER MASTER HAF 922 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2014 I'm at 48 multiplier and 101.4 bus clock right now on a 4790k. 4.867GHz @1.340 vols and still fine tuning it. I really want 4.9GHz tho. Should I increase more voltage? I'm running a custom loop with 2 quart rad. Temps at 75C at 4.867GHz. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
