It doesn't matter. just keep the temp @ 80-85 degreeds. Haswell limited is by thermal disipation and NOT a voltage wall.

ok thank you,

now im trying to lower the voltage as much as i can but still keep stability.

i really wanted 4.5GHZ,

but i'd need to reach like 1.35V for that and the temps would go crazy...

even though i have a H100i....

It seems you don't ave a very good chip, and you would need a custom loop for that kind of voltages, i would honestly give up, and try to find a stable 4 ghz - 4.2 and go uncer 1.3, the temps are insane if you don't have custom loop

System

CPU: i7 4770k / Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero / RAM: HyperX KHX318C9SRK4/32 - 32GB DDR3-1866 CL9 / GPU: Gainward Geforce GTX 670 Phantom / Case: Cooler Master HAF XB / Storage: 1 TB WD Blue / PSU: Cooler Master V-650s / Display(s): Dell U2312HM, LG194WT, LG E1941 / 

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 / Keyboard: Logitech G710+ / Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum / Sound: Focusrite 2i4 - USB DAC / OS: Windows 7 (still holding on XD)

I resolved to running the CPU at 4.2GHZ on 1.25V,

I don't really need the extra performance,but i did want to squeeze all the juice out of it.

Smart, don't kill your chip if you don't really have to, keep the temps low, your cpu will be awesome for a long time, and the few fps lower than 4.5 ghz but still strong

after thoroughly testing a 4770k for a week heres what i would recommend.

 

0V-1.3V For people concerned about volts\heat. up to 1.3V is playing it SAFE. be happy with your clocks at 1.3V. using an air cooler. I have found that up to 1.3V will offer the best performance ratio in terms of GHz\Watt

 

1.3V-1.44V Still safe without risking CPU degradation . Requires a good cooling solution ( top notch AIO cooler) NOT recommended for people using air cooling or people concerned with heat or volts applied

 

1.45V and Higher. For extreme Overclockers only. from my testing going over 1.45V to achieve higher clock speeds is pointless. the performance\Watt drops heavily and massive amounts of heat is generated.

first time mounting a radiator\block is annoying,

im sure second time it will be much easier  :D

lol it's not that but more like the moutning bracket that corsair provide with the H100i you need to thigh it up really good or else the cooler will hang above the cpu for like 1/2mm and that cause higher temps because the contact won't be good at all

In the wise words of that Asus representative that I fail to remember his name "You'll not be wanting to go over 1.275V"

Was it JJ? If it is he use to design motherboards and such so believe him when he says something like that.

O.o I think so, he was on TechofTommorow and Teksyndicates channel.

Yeah him. My favorite Asus rep. is still patty.

Awesome 500 posts now if I could catch up with Joelthezombie15...
