i5-4670K overclock

[death_razer]

hi, I was just wondering what's the maximum stability speed I can get extreme overclocking i5-4670K i'll be planning to use H100i....

 

my specs: 

corsair H00i

asus z87-a 

intel i5-4670K

gSkill 2x4 8GB 2133Mhz intel xmp ready

asus GTX 760 Direct CU II

corsair GS500W PSU

 

thanks in advance...........

Each chip is different so you'll have to dial it in for yourself to see what your max OC is.

This depends on how lucky you get with your CPU. Every one is different, nobody can tell you what you will get.

 

Also btw you will not be anywhere near 'extreme overclocking' with an H100i.

you can get anywere from 4.2 to 5.0 so the best of luck

No actually you can get anywhere from 3.5 to 8+ GHz

 

And you don't need to use a large font and bold text to write a post.

very funney and unles on ln2 5.7 and up is almost impossible without insane temps 4.1 is lowest ive heard

The thing is theres no guarantee for any kind of overclock. Some processors can't handle any kind of overclock even if they are unlocked, they just become unstable.

So really you will never know what it will be.

i just havent heard lower than 4.1 yes nothing is garunteed but intel slightly bins there cips

Well, I haven't pushed my chip to it's limits yet but mine is stable at 4.3 GHz and 1.25V  My best guess is that I could probably reach 4.4 or 4.5 before I overwhelm my cooling.

 

With you would probably be able to go a little higher than my chip before cooling becomes an issue, but I can't say for certain.  This is for you to find out for yourself.

what cooler do u suggest??

For extreme overclocking? You will need either LN2 or a phase-change cooler or a thermoelectric cooling CPU block.

For non extreme overclocking get an H105 or a kraken x61 if your case supports dual 140mm rads.

thanks for response....i really wanted to get x61 but its really too expensive....kinda settled between H105 & H100i.......and thanks everybody for ur time...

You're welcome.

The H105 is like the H100i but thicker, so it gives lower temperatures for better overclocking.

It is also a lot easier to get set up since it doesn't have all the trouble that comes with corsair link.

good luck on your build

my i5 3570k wouldn't stay stable at 4.2 not matter what but then i updated my bios to like 6 versions ahead and now it's doin great with ocing

Stay away from the H100i.  It has a terrible problem with mounting and it is not guaranteed to work for everyone out of the box without modifications.  Go for the H105 or Cooler Master Seidon 240M on Newegg.com($60).

IF you don't mind the look consider 

the Noctua NH-D15 if you want one of the best air coolers
