Basically 1.275 is considered safe. 1.3 to 1.325 is considered mostly safe.

 

Keep raising VCore until either 1) you can pass stress tests without BSOD or 2) your CPU temps get too high

 

if #2 happens, go back to the last VCore voltage that your cooler could handle and start lowering clock rate until you no longer BSOD during stress tests.

Really, there is not perfect answer for that. Work your way up, watch the temps.

 

You should start at standard voltage (that differs as well, so run aida and look at voltages then) and set all cores to you turbo clock speed.

Then try if it is stable and go up 100Mhz and do that again.

As soon as you have some instability, increse your voltage by let's say .02, so in my case that would be from 1.20 to 1.22, whatever that is for you.

then test again, if stable go up 100Mhz.....and so on.

 

 

You probably should try to stay under or around 1.3V for that clockspeed though.

Hey, so I just got started with my beautiful new PC, and I wanna overclock its 4690k.BUT, I dont know what would be a safe voltage for 4.4 GHz.Im using a Hyper 212 EVO, and Aida64 trial to stress test.Do you have any suggestions, what voltage should I use for 4.4?

You'll likely hit thermal limits with the 212 EVO at around 4-4.2

Im running on 4.0 GHz at 1.152V with AIDA64 stress test going on for an hour, temps are around mid 60s.

That's very good temps and voltage. Go up and test again.
