Good voltage for a 4670k?

I'm trying to get it to about 4.4GHz with the lowest possible voltage. I usually run it at 1.3V but that's a little high. What should I aim for for 4.4, or even 4.5 GHz

1.3v is fine for 24/7 honestly, and with that cpu cooler you have, I wouldn't be worried about it. If you want, try undervolting it to like 1.28v @4.4 or try 4.5. Each chip is different so I can't tell you what it will overclock to.

All CPUs will do it differently. Just because someone had a 4670K at 4.5GHz with x.xx voltage doesnt mean you can necessarily achieve the same. Best way to do it is look at similar clocks and voltages and test some then touch up to suit your CPU. Its not a quick process and will take time to get it to the settings you want (If it can achieve them).

 

Good luck, just gotta be patient and try changing settings very marginally.

Here one with a i5 4690k 4.4 at 1.28v. If temps are fine while stressed go for it.

FireStrike score = 7803. Graphic score = 9363 (record single r9 285).
