4790k question

[LiamApex]

So I have purchased the 4790k and was wondering how it will perform with a hyper 212 evolution I do not plan on overlooking while on air cooling

[TheSLSAMG]

It will do fine. Should load at around 55-60C (Remember, should. It can differ due to ambient temps and airflow.)

Might be doing fine, your case, the way you build your computer, the thermal paste and the way you applied it are all things that affect the temp of your CPU. Yes don't overclock it on Hyper 212 EVO, 4790K is already clocked on 4.4 Ghz by default.

Even a stock cooler is adequate if not overclocking.

Why shouldn't he overclock on the Hyper 212 EVO, the 212 EVO is perfect for light-mid overclocks.

[LiamApex]

Ok thanks for the reassurance I know my way around building but I lack the knowledge in the nitty gritty bit!

'Cause the 4790K is already clocked at 4.4 Ghz by default as I said in my other post.

Processors overclocking headroom aren't the same on all processors or on all Intel processors.

It's not because the default clock speed is 4.4 Ghz that you can expect over 5.0 Ghz from it on anything else then LN2.

@Iiambetts123 you might like to see my website, [snip] feel free to share your thoughs on it with me, thanks!

No, it's clocked at 4 GHz. 4.4GHz is the boost frequency which isn't the same thing as a full overclock.

Krytopsy will do man

Oh really? Why shouldn't the OP overclock?

 

And to the OP, I say go for it, but be sure to use Intel Burn Test and HWMonitor to make sure your temps stay safe.

That Evo 212 can do 4.8GHz orsomething quite easily as long as its around 1.3-1.35V, Haswell CPU's actually don't transfer that much heat in your cooler so the max cooling capacity means all nothing. You just want good contact and being able to quickly move the heat away from the HSP (Pump > heatpipes) over a bunch of cooling capacity.

I have a 212 Evo on my 4790k. Temps are decebt on it, it can get to like 70c on a stress test, with the stock cooler it'd get to like 85c. I also live in California, so it's hot all year round here, like 90f. So my ambient temps can be a little high

First of all, that's the turbo, and does not represent performance on all 4 cores. The clock speed of the 4790K is 4Ghz, and under 4 core load that's what it runs at. I believe the turbo is for only use with 1 or 2 cores. 

Regardless, the TDP of this CPU is identical to the TDP of the 4770K, so its using the same vCore by default.  You can go to 4.2-4.4Ghz on all cores on a Hyper 212 depending on how well you do in the silicon lottery.

No one is going to complain.

`You should get easy 4.6-5.7GHZ OC if you want try doing it. Note that you don't need to keep OC, but it will be fun experience to see how much your performance will improve.
