First Overclock: 4.5Ghz 1.21V 4690K, do my temps look good? [Aida64]

[dreamking]

Hi, title says most of it. Image explains it:

 

 

 

First time overclocking, after a couple of tries I found something stable that didn't make the cpu about to melt. 1.21 Vcore 4.5 Ghz, VRIN is set to auto, turbo boost disabled.

Other system info: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H mobo,  Hyper Evo 212 cooler

 

I did attempt to use the easy tune overclock presets and proceeded to completely uninstall every single gigabyte software besides the bios update software after I saw how terrible it was.

These temperatures look decent?

[loccilucas]

look alright to me, wouldn't go any higher though. 80c is my limit.

Looks good to me Those are really worst case scenario temps, in real-world heavy use your temps probably won't even break 70C but if that's as good as you can get it then keep it

 

PS: I would suggest running a CPU stress test for about 24 Hours just to make sure everything is rock solid

Damn, you guys are more helpful than the folks over at overclocker.net lol. Thanks.

looks pretty decent for an air cooler

With a 212 EVO? I'm impressed.

Yes, 4.5Ghz is the most I can do. 4.6Ghz gives me a blue screen a few seconds after booting successfully.

4.5GHz is still a great overclock Great job for your first time

Thanks, all.

Looks fine and dandy to me. Personally I'd run a 24hr test though, I have had a test fail at the 14hr mark.

Don't worry about temps- gaming is going to get no where near that utilization

[dreamking]

I'll be running a 24 hr test as soon as I can this week.

Personally I don't run 24 hours stress tests.

They are ok but usually trying to render a video gives me a better idea about the stability of my overclock.

Sometimes I can run a stress test for hours and then I try to render a video in Vegas and boom, blue screen.

So yeah.

You could try that.

Alright, I can try that first. I use the SVP interpolation software for 120fps video rendering at up to 1080p on my 120hz monitor, so should be a good indication.
