i5 4690k overclocking

[chrism3764]

hello all.

i am looking to purchase a 4690k or 4790k and would like to know what sort of overlocks i can expect. and would like recommendations for which one i should pick. i like to game with the setting up all the way and do a fair amount of video/photo editing with the adobe suite. also i dont want my gtx 970 bottlenecked by the cpu. my current setup is:

cpu: i5 4440 @ 3.1ghz

mobo: msi gaming 5

ram: 8gb kingston hyper x genesis @1866mhz 

psu: corsair rm650

case: phanteks enthoo pro

4790k is the way to go in your case. In both CPUs, you could be expecting clocks speeds over 4.5Ghz.

Gaming you won't really see much of an improvement going from current CPU to either of those, not worth the money.

Your current build is plenty strong, you won't get much of an improvement, if any in games going from an i5-4440 to i5-4690k or i7-4790k.  Your current i5 is not bottlenecking your 970.

I think average OC for 4690K is 4.4GHz and for 4790K 4.7GHz.
