oc 4770k

[skeeyou93]

So I have hady my i7 for about a year and its been OC to 4.4 and my voltage is 1.175 is that high for my cpu or not? My cpu cooler is the h100i the 2 fans on the rad run at 1250 rpms and temps in idle are 73,75,70,74 and under full load such as DayZ and MW3 its about 83,84,86,5 ... sorry for the noob question, just trying to make sure i make this cpu is safe

[Enderman]

its fine

[failblox]

Do you know what your temperatures are when stress testing?

[Sauron]

The voltage is not high at all, however it would be better not to have the cpu exceed 80c. It's pretty safe anyway, but still, you should ramp up those fans. Try 1750 rpm.

[skeeyou93]

Thanks guys yeah i was thinking about turning them up when i get my new full tower, but no i have not tested the temps during a stress test.

[Columbo]

You need about 1.25v to 1.30v for a 4.5-4.6ghz overclock. below 1.2v you will end up with blue screens. 

[VincentC]

That is a normal voltage for that overclock since your temperatures are a little high, there isn't much room for overclocking.

[skeeyou93]

you think they are a bit high? when the house is about 75f  it ildes at 69f

[i_build_nanosuits]

temps in Fahrenheit are fine.

1.17v is not much voltage, it's perfectly safe.

[skeeyou93]

ooops for some reason it said my temps were high from that person who replyed, but ok good to know

[skeeyou93]

I uped my fans 200 rpms running at 1450 and it has droped 1-2 degrees

because i thought the first temps you've mentionned ''temps in idle are 73,75,70,74 and under full load such as DayZ and MW3 its about 83,84,86,5'' would be very high temps if we where talking CELSIUS degrees but for some reasons you seem to be talking F degrees which is fine.

[SteveGrabowski]

An overclocked 4770k running MW3 at 86*F with 75*F ambients? No way, that doesn't sound possible unless you got the best 4770k Intel ever produced.

[skeeyou93]

No sir im 100% sure that is my temps during game, Im crazy when it comes to temps let alone this whole pc gig, im always looking at my temps during ilde or watching a movies or on browser and during dayz and other games, I use aretic siler high density polysynthetic silver thermal compound on all my rigs and all seem to be running with good temps, Just wanted to make this threed that i am not running a new i7 to hot bcuz my last 2 rigs are 775 socket base

Thanks for the link

Heres temps on ilde, fans at 1450 rpm over clocked at 4.4 @1.17

I don't believe it. Either the CPU is severely under locked or the software is wrong. I have never seen temps that low.

[VulsaviiK]

What is the maximum safe voltage for a 4770k, I haven't really tried to push mine past 4.2GHz yet

Im sure its not wrong because i re ran my os 2 times before the one I am using so and it said the same thing... Also tryed other HW monitor programs and say the same thing such as my Corsair link. and are you saying its underclocked didnt get what you said

Well everyone says not to go pas 1.3v with out enthuses water cooler not a closed loop like my h100i... I have gotten my Cpu to 4.6 @ 1.9v, Im sure i could of gone high but felt no need to because I was already get 60+ FPS every game i played on ultra or high, even at STOCK 3.5. Im running a 4.4 @ 1.7v and its been stable for months now with ok temps plays games and works task amazing

1.9 volts? You're insane. I don't buy any of this madness. No one in the history of CPUs has run such voltages. Even 1.7 is crazy. This whole thread is suspect.
