If you have a 4790k OCed, how far have you OCed it?

[Tahab_1]

I want to know how far you guys have Overclocked, I've tried, and failed to get anywhere past 4.4ghz... 

[Archangel1994]

Where did you put the voltage when you tried to pass 4.4?

 

Also you probably just have bad luck

Did you increase the voltage?

 

And I dont have a 4790k

I really do have bad luck, and my voltage was in the 1.25-1.3v area, this mofo refuses to OC. I think i've got a crap chip...

Oh :L, and yes I did, went up to 1.25v-1.3v area for 4.4,4.5,4.6,4.7,4.8

@Tahab_1 you failed the silicon lottery

Ah man, I never win anything :'( 

 

And what's up with my post count?

Not anymore

4.8 @1.33v is the farthest and stable OC I have gotten on mine with water cooling.  Max temp 74C.

 

I was able to get 5GHZ @1.34V but not stable once I started putting a heavy load it will bluescreen and temps were getting near 90C.

Are you also OCing your Cache/Uncore?

 

Cache/Uncore overclocking has been proven to not improve performance, and only creates instability with your overclock.

 

Try and set your cache/uncore to whatever the stock is, maybe 38?

 

Set it to minimum = 38, maximum = 38 with Adaptive voltage = 1.050.

 

Then go and do your regular OC for the Core.

I can get 4.6Ghz at 1.25 volts but anything past that requires quite a bit of voltage I don't quite remember but I got 4.8Ghz at something like 1.3 volts. I am at school so I will check later for the exact results

[Razzaa]

4.84 Ghz @ 1.3v. I have ran 1.6v through it but im on air so it shuts down from temps. Contemplating water at the moment............i dont like looking at my big ass NH-D14 and it doesnt match my theme.

But she is a golden chip

 

How is the OC failing? BSOD, temp, voltage ceiling, etc.

Nice , Hm, My temps were a bit too high, but the main thing was that the chip didn't go back to down to a lower core clock when it was idle, it was stuck on the clock that I had set it at, my friend who got amazing clocks with his 4770k, said not to OC because it wasn't worth the risk if it stayed at the oced clock even at idle.

Lol wot!? You can run an OC at a manual voltage and no intel-speed stepping (downclocking on idle) for as long as your temps and voltages are within a safe range. You'll likely draw more power if adaptive/speed stepping isn't on, but as far as the safety of the chip, it's perfectly safe.

I ran my 980X pinned at my linked validation settings for over 4 years and she's still chuggin along. No speed stepping, no adaptive voltage, nothing. Doing the same thing with my 5960X
