Should I keep going?

Im at 4.6ghz, should I keep going? :L

 

[TheKDub]

Yes, go as far as you can safely.

[EarthboundHero]

Temps? CPU?

[Briggsy]

Geek it 'til it Mhz

[bob345]

YES! What cpu are you oc'ing?

[Gofspar]

Temps? CPU?

i7-3770k

74c after 6 hours of Small FFT's which causes max heat.

FOR SCIENCE!!!

I'd maybe push it just a bit further. TMax is 105C, I wouldn't recommend that high though.

[Pro_LiZzy]

I think thats engouh.

[CoolaxGaming]

TIP: If getting too much heat, increase the base clock instead of Multiplier.

FUCKING YOLO DOING IT

[Just The Tips]

have a fire extinguisher ready m8

[FuzzyYellow]

Go for it!

[Gofspar]

Alright hold up a second guys, letting the water in the radiator cool a bit.

4.7 achived, running Prime95 now.

Tmax should never be used as a maximum allowed temp in terms of when to ease off an overclock. Software that reads core temp sensors use tCase, which for 3770k and most i7's, is 67.4. Id say max safe temp would be 70, though most people don't like getting above 60. 

 

I'm personally running an i7 920 from 2.6 ghz to 3.9, temps don't get above 62C.

4.8! Go for it!

[Gofspar]

4.8! Go for it!

Did anybody say 5.0.

You should really pay attention to temps when you run prime95. What are they while running that?

[mrmonmon2]

I heard 5.1, did anyone else hear that?

[Litargirio]

-snip-

 

Awwww yis!

 

At this point you can just jump to 5.0 straight away... it's not like there is THAT much of a gap anyway...

for 4.8 I was running 79c, I have multiple monitors and HWMonitor was open on another one.

I'll try 4.9 tomorrow.

I'd stop there. Or get a better cooler. 79 is rather high.
