5GHz overclock

[The Dragon]

Is it possible to have a stable 5.0GHz overclock without using any liquid gases such as nitrogen or helium and stuff.

Yes. 

 

(example, FX 9590)

FX 8320/6300 can get 5 GHZ on air lol.

[Lolzious]

Yes of course.

[ForsakenLive]

Yes, even on high end Intel parts, you need plenty of cooling and an impressive golden chip.

[Padunkadunk]

Yurp.

[harrynowl]

Yes. My 5600K could hold 5.1GHz stable.

Any videos of it?

Try "FX8350 5GHz stable" on Youtube.

[zappian]

4670k can too apparently

Yes but the chip won't last as long and it will generate a crap ton of heat so your better off on liquid.

that ghz does not make a chip degrade, the crazy voltage needed to hit 5ghz would be what degrades it.

[TheRetiredSlave]

Yes, though it really depends on both the skill/knowledge of the overclocker and (most importantly) the luck of getting a CPU that will actually be stable at a high clockspeed.

 

For instance, my 4770K only will hang around 4.2-4.3 Ghz, while others have a 4770K that will do over 5.0. Most Haswell CPUs in the wild seem to be stable in the 4.2-4.6 Ghz range on room-temperature cooling.

Yea i know that but nobody gets a chip to 5Ghz without added voltage and heat.

just saw his voltage. nevermind lol

[GloriousPain]

It's a luck based thing but I've seen of 4790ks and 4770ks Fx8320/50s hit it on air  and even 5960Xs hit it on basic Watercooling AIOs in my experience OCs are less luck based with FXs because AMDs been cranking them out for 3-4 years now they know how to make them properly Everytime intel gets to the point of consistently good binning they make a new CPU (EG Ivy was just getting great at OCing when haswell was released then Devils canyon)

Not very healthy but possible.

[ProKoN]

4690k 5.0ghz.

 

all out balls to the walls OC. not a daily setting

 

all cores at 5ghz none of this solo core BS.

 

[runit3]

.1GHz shy on my gaming rig...I'm gunna call it close enough.

Many processors can boot or run a few benchmarks at 5ghz, but most of them crash when running daily or throughout many different applications.
